I`m gonna be strong lyrics

Artist  : Gene pitney 
Song : I`m gonna be strong
 
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 holidng 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.
