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 [Repeat Chorus (2x)] No on can tell me I'm wrong I ain't goin' down
