  • I know baby it's hard to be strong
    Just take the good with the bad
    And don't think you're alone

    'Cause I know all your sad goodbyes
    'Cause I've been there before
    To help you dry your eyes

    Sweetheart
    Who love you from the start
    Who treats you like a star
    Oh sweetheart

    Who loves you baby
    Who loves you wrong or right
    'Cause you're the spark in my life
    Yeah day and night

    And when trouble a-keeps knockin'
    Down your door
    Just call on me babe
    And it won't be 'round no more

    Sweetheart oh I know, yes I know
    No matter how long
    I'll be by your side
