I Can't Stand It

Dear brothers be strong
Sweet sister keep holdin’ on
Poor father we gotta soldier on
Tell Mother it’s always darkest before the dawn

But I can’t stand it.
We all gotta learn how to say goodbye
But I can’t handle it
So don’t look me in the eye
I can’t stand it
I can’t stand to see you cry

Baby, I’m a rock and you’re an oak
But the rain will fall and the wind will blow
They’ll try to wear us down

They’ll try to break our souls
So baby cling to me
And I’ll never let you Go

But I can’t stand it.
We all gotta learn how to say goodbye
But I can’t handle it
So don’t look me in the eye
I can’t stand it
I can’t stand to see you cry

Let them beat the drums
Let the pipers blow
But Darlin’ hold your tears as you watch them go
May we not forget as time goes by
But don’t show it yet cause I can’t stand to see you cry

No I can’t stand it.
We all gotta learn how to say goodbye
But I can’t handle it
So don’t look me in the eye
I can’t stand it
I can’t stand to see you cry
