Text: Lee Ann Womack. I Hope You Dance. Stronger Than I Am.

Things around here haven't changed much
It's all pretty much the same stuff, day after day
The only thing that keeps me goin'
Seems to be our baby girl I'm tryin' to raise

She's my life, my mornin' angel
Always seems to find the rainbow after the rain
But lately she's so busy growin'
I don't even think she knows you've gone away

She finally learned to say goodbye
And she's sleepin' through the night
She don't wake up cryin'

And she's walkin' on her own
She don't need no one holdin' to her hand
And I hate to admit, she's stronger than I am

And she ain't crackin' under pressure
First one step and then another, she goes along
And if she falls and skins her knee
She cries a while and smiles at me, and just goes on

So many things that she can teach me
Full of life and so completely, innocent
She still says she loves her daddy
Goes on just like nothin' happened, forgives and forgets

She finally learned to say goodbye
She's sleepin' through the night
She don't wake up cryin'

And she's walkin' on her own
She don't need no one holdin' to her hand
And I hate to admit, she's stronger than I am
She's just like her old man, stronger than I am
