Tall

When the rain is pouring down
When life gets turned around
I don't  feel  desire to go on no more
When life brings me to the floor
Then I look into your eyes again
I feel like I might just win
I feel I can face it all
And I can still stand tall
When sometimes I wonder if I'm going to slow
my body it  starts feeling so low
When its all I can do to make it through the day
I feel like there's no time to play
Then I look into your eyes again
I feel I  might just win
I feel I can face it all
 And I can still stand tall
The world starts slowly getting to me
When bad things are all I can see
I start feeling I'm  finally beat
I want to bow out and take a seat
I just have to look into your eyes again
And I see how lucky I've been
I know I can stand and face it all
With you I know I can still stand tall
I just have to look into your eyes again
To know just how lucky I have been
With you I can stand up and face it all
Beside you I will always stand tall

Sounds like a very special lady, William. Sometimes a look, an encouraging word can set one up nicely. A good read:)

Lol was just thinking on what it would be like if I had that special girl. Don't have one myself. Not sure what one is
