I was supposed to be the rock
That you could stand on
Stronger than an old oak tree
But all you ever wanted was the one thing
That I never let you see –
The tender side of me

I tried to be a mountain
Solid and strong
All it took was your leavin’
To know I was wrong

Chorus:
A man ain’t made of stone
A man ain’t made of steel
The way I feel right now
I thought I’d never feel
And sometimes all it takes
Is facing the night alone
And that’s when you know
A man ain’t made of stone

In this world of mine there was
No room for weakness
I covered every crack in the wall
But there ain’t no way that I can
Keep this secret
‘Cause when you go
Like Cheriko I fall

You thought I wouldn’t shatter
Would I even care?
But there’s more to what I’m made of
Than this broken heart can bear

Repeat chorus

Sometimes all it takes
Is facing the night alone
And that’s when you know
A man ain’t made of stone

(Shawn Camp/Jim Rushing)

Shattered inside and scattered around
Were pieces of her broken heart
I gathered her up, the pieces I found
I put her back together like a busted guitar
But osme glue holds and some glue don’t In spite of everything I tried
Somebody’s stole my darlin’
Right before my very eyes

He didn’t walk, talk or push his way in
Or fly through the windows on a gust of hot wind
He didn’t sprout wings
And he sure wasn’t playin’ no harp
As low as he was, I couldn’t see him
Slitherin’ around in the dark
He must’ve crawled through
A little bitty crack in her heart

Copin’ with hone and hoping i’m wrong
But I sure see a definite change
There’s look in her eyes that’s sayin’ goodbye
And her snuggle when I hold her don’t feel the same
The way her heart bests for that sneaky theif
You would picture him dark and tall
But the feller that stole my darlin’
Lord, he’d have to be very small

He didn’t walk, talk or push his way in
Or fly through the windows on a gust of hot wind
He didn’t sprout wings
And he sure wasn’t playin’ no harp
As low as he was, I couldn’t see him
Slitherin’ around in the dark
He must’ve crawled through
A little bitty crack in her heart

As low as he was, I couldn’t see him
Slitherin’ around in the dark
He must’ve crawled through
A little bitty crack in her heart
Lord, he must’ve craweled through
A little bitty crack in her heart

(Steve Dale Jones/Billy Henderson)

I walk in the rain and whistle a tune
I talk to the man up there in the moon
I know I may sound like somebody gone insane
I’m a fool about you baby but my heart can’t explain

It’s a little left of center
By heavenly design
Love gets carried away
And goes wild at times
When cupid aims his arrow
It’s right on the mark
A little left of center
Just like my crazy heart

It leaps like a frog when you touch my hand
It means like a drum in a marching band
Can’t help what it does I just follow where it leads
How my heart feels about you baby makes perfect sense to me

It’s a little left of center
By heavenly design
Love gets carried away
And goes wild at times
When cupid aims his arrow
It’s right on the mark
A little left of center
Just like my crazy heart

When cupid aims his arrow
It’s right on the mark
A little left of center
Just like my crazy heart

(Chet Biggers/Melba Montgomery)

This ole heart of mine
Is now showing signs
From the wear and tear of times
You have taken it and crushed it
Then came close to throwing it away
Holding on to someone who don’t love the same way that you do
Always hits right where it hurts
It’s a heartache in the works

Looking through my tears
It’s hard to see you care
when I know that you don’t hear
When I lie away beside you
And cry til I see the light of day

Holding on to someone who don’t love the same way that you do
Always hits right where it hurts
It’s a heartache in the works

It’s hard to keep surviving
When love is slowly dying
And all the pain without keeps building up

Holding on to someone who don’t love the same way that you do
Always hits right where it hurts
It’s a heartache in the works

Holding on to someone who don’t love the same way that you do
Always hits right where it hurts
It’s a heartache in the works
It’s a heartache in the works

When you were born
There in your mother’s arms
An angel told me always you will be
A gift of love from God to me

Though your road is long
I’ll be right by your side
Through changes you’ll see always you will be
A gift of love from God to me

Love took flight the day you came into my life
There is magic in the way I feel
Hearts opened wide gazing into your eyes
I’ll be there for you
As long as I am alive

I have never loved
More than I love you
A gift for free always you will be
A gift of love from God to me
