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 luck
Look you in the eye and never back up
But I saw him a-cryin 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 let you down
Take your world, turn it all around 
Ever since time nothing's ever been
Found that's stronger than love

Most men are like me they struggle and doubt
Trouble their mind day in and day out
Too busy a livin 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 God
This worlds been blessed with a thing called love
