Tammy Wynette - One Stone at a Time lyrics

He was just a little boy the day his mama died And his daddy said be strong my son you and me don't cry So he built a wall around his heart to keep the hurt away And I ran into that wall again today I'm gonna love that wall away I'll show the boy inside the man there's no need to be afraid I'll hold him close until he knows His heart is safe with mine I'm gonna love that wall away One stone at a time Some wall's are necessary to help hold back the time But I wanna mend a broken heart keeps the hurt inside So I'll gladly build eleven years cause love's it's own reward And someday that wall won't be there anymore I'm gonna love that wall away I'll show the boy inside the man there's no need to be afraid I'll hold him close until he knows His heart is safe with mine I'm gonna love that wall away One stone at a time I'll hold him close until he knows His heart is safe with mine I'm gonna love that wall away One stone at a time.
