Unknown Lyrics

  Send "I'm Gonna Be Strong" Ringtone to your Cell  

(peak Billboard position # 9 in 1964)

Words and Music by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil

I can see you're slipping away from me

And you're so afraid I'll plead with you to stay

But I'm gonna be strong and let you go your way

Our love is gone, there's no sense in holding on

'cause your pity now would be too much to bear

So I'm gonna be strong and pretend I don't care

I'm gonna be strong and stand as tall as I can

Yes, I'm gonna be strong and let you run along and take it like a man

When you say it's the end I'll just hand you a line

I'll smile and say Don't you worry, I'm fine

And you'll never know, darling, after you kiss me goodbye

How I'll break down and cry eye-eye-eye.
