"A Thing Called Love" lyrics

A Thing Called Love

Six foot six
He stood on the ground
He 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 a man
That would gamble on luck
Look you in the eye
And never back up
But I saw him crying
Like a little whipped pup
Because of love

You 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
Never let you down
Take your world
And turn it around
Ever since time
Nothing's ever been found
That's stronger than love

Most men are like me
They struggle and doubt
They trouble their minds
Day in and day out
Too busy with living
To worry about
A little word like love

But when I see a mother's
Tenderness
As she holds her young
Close to her breast
Then I thank God
That the world's been blessed
With a thing called love

You 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
Never let you down
Take your world
And turn it all around
Ever since time
Nothing's ever been found
That's stronger than love

Ever since time
Nothing's ever been found
That's stronger than love
