Cyndi Lauper - I'm Gonna Be Strong (2001)

Cyndi's stunning, emotional performance at Mary Tyler Moore Tribute Show! Lyrics: I can see You're slipping away from me And you're so afraid That I'll plead with you to stay So I'm gonna be strong I'll let you go your way Love is gone There's no sense in going on And your pity now Would be more than I could bare So I'm gonna be strong I'll pretend I don't care I'm gonna be strong And stand as tall as I can I'm gonna be strong And let you go along And take it like a man When you say it's the end I'll hand you a line I'll smile and say Don't you worry it's fine And you'll never know darling After you kiss me goodbye How I'll break down and cry.
