I'm gonna hold on-- 'cause what I believe in is so strong No matter how long, no one Can tell me I'm wrong--i ain't goin' down
I had a baby at fifteen-- Daddy never did forgive me I never heard from the guy again I had to drop outta high school-- Everybody treated me so cruel But I didn't give in and giver her away
[repeat chorus]
Her smile got me through the day-- And every night I'd pray I could give her enough At night I'd lie awake and cry-- Hopin' we'd get by 'cause you can't live on love
I worked night and day to keep us goin' Through the sweat and tears Without her knowin' It was worth it just to watch her grow Oh, oh, at least I was able to hold her Whenever she needed my shoulder I'm so glad I never let her go
[repeat chorus]
Her smile got me through the years-- Dried away the tears And filled me with hope At night I'd lie awake and cry-- Prayed we would get by And for the courage to cope Oh, oh, oh
[instrumental solo]
Her smile got me through the day-- And every night I'd pray I could give her enough
