Lyrics Strong Like You (Acoustic) - Nick Thompson

Tiny hands reaching out
For someone to hold
You were there faithfully
With a heart full of gold
I was small, you were strong
And I knew you could mend all the wrong

Please don't go, can't you stay a while
Don't you want to be with your little child
I love you so, don't want to let you go
And if you leave, I'm gonna follow you on down the road
Why can't I be strong like you
And do what you do

These tiny hands, much bigger now
Made out of your mold
Time has a cruel way
Of taking it's toll
I was here, you were there
There's not enough time, it's not fair

Please don't go, let's talk a while
Let's laugh 'til we can't hardly smile
I love you so, don't want to let you go
And if you leave, I'm gonna follow you on down the road
Why can't I be strong like you
And do what you do

A shaking hand reaching out
The same heart of gold
You're strong as ever now
As time unfolds
Take my hand, hold it tight
And know that I'm right by your side

Please don't go, let's talk a while
Let's laugh 'til we can't hardly smile
I love you so, don't want to let you go
And if you leave, I'm gonna follow you on down the road
Why can't I be strong like you
And do what you do
Why can't I be strong like you
And do what you do
