TAMMY WYNETTE
"Standing Tall"
(Larry Butler / Ben Peters)

Everything I've tried to do for you has always turned out wrong
It took a lot of love inside of me to keep me here this long
It's too late to dim the lights again expecting me to call
'Cause tonight I'm gonna leave you and I'm leavin' standin' tall

If I could see inside your mind I wonder what I'd find
There's somethin' there that's made me come so close to losin' mine
The tallest tree will sometimes bend oh but that don't make it fall
I'm packin' it up to leave you and I'm leavin' standin' tall

Now I'm pickin' up the pieces of the heart that you've been breakin'
And I'm down on my knees just to try and find them all
And when I get up one long last look is all that I'll be takin'
'Cause tonight I'm finally leavin' and I'm leavin' standin' tall

Yes tonight I'm finally leavin' and I'm leavin' standin' tall
