Six foot six, he stood on the ground,
Weighed two hundred
And thirty-five pounds,
But I saw that giant of a man
Brought down to his knees by love.
He was the kind of man
That would gamble on love,
Look you in the eye
And never back up,
But I saw him crying
Like a little whipped pup,
Because of love.
Can’t see it with your eyes,
Hold it in your hands,
But like the wind it covers our land,
Strong enough to rule
The heart of any man,
This thing called love.
It can lift you up,
It can let you down,
Take your world
Turn it all around,
Ever since time
Nothing’s ever been found,
Stronger than love.
Those men are like me,
They struggle and doubt,
They trouble their mind
Day in and day out,
Too busy with livin’
To worry about,
A word called love.
But when I see a mother’s tenderness,
As she holds a young
Close to her breast,
Then I think
God, this world’s been blessed,
with a word called love.
Can’t see it with your eyes,
Hold it in your hands,
But like the wind it covers our land,
Strong enough to rule
The heart of any man,
This thing called love.
It can lift you up,
It can let you down,
Take your world
Turn it all around,
Ever since time
Nothing’s ever been found,
Stronger than love.
