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 who'd 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 hand
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 put you down
Take your world and turn it all around
Ever since time there's nothing ever been found
Stronger than love

It's men like me, they worry and doubt
They trouble their minds day in and day out
Too busy with living to worry about
A thing called love

But when I see a mother's tenderness
As she holds her young close to her breast
Then I thank my God this world's been blessed
With a thing called love

* Repeat
