While most country fans are incredibly familiar with Patsy Cline‘s work, many have not been able to watch her perform. Cline’s career was short, lasting only eight years before her tragic death in 1963. This has left a very finite number of live performances from Cline that are available to view today.
“You’re Stronger Than Me” was released in 1962, making it one of Cline’s final releases before her passing. Watch the songstress perform the track on Nashville’s WSM-TV in a rare video clip from 1962 below!
Cline’s booming voice is showcased perfectly in the footage above— proving her perfect pitch didn’t waver when performing live.
“You’re Stronger Than Me” Lyrics
If you are sincere
When you say you don’t care
That our love is just a memory
If the love that we knew
Won’t bother you
Darling, you’re stronger than me
For if still lovin’ you means I’m weak
Then I’m weak
For I still fall apart when we speak
Or we meet
If the love that we knew
Won’t bother you
Darling you’re stronger than me
If you can have fun
With some other one
With no thought of what used to be
If it’s easy to say
That it’s better this way
Darlin’ you’re stronger than me
For if still lovin’ you means I’m weak
Then I’m weak
For I still fall apart when we speak
Or we meet
If the love that we knew
Won’t bother you
Darling you’re stronger than me
