Artist/Band: Jean Shepard
Lyrics for Song: Mysteries of Life
Lyrics for Album: Hello Old Broken Heart [Hilltop] [1967]



(Virgil F. Stewart)



So many beautiful stories are told

Of love and affection that's purer than gold

They meet and they love and he makes her his wife

And wife can't last this a mystery of life.



I love you my darling I've always been true

Wherever you go I'll be thinking of you

You say you don't want me you wish to be free

If that's what you want that's the way it will be.



It's a mystery of life 'cause someone so sweet

Can pass you aside to be dirt at their feet

They'll take you and court you and make you their wife

And wife can't last this a mystery of life.



--- Instrumental ---



When daddy told mother till death do us part

He said it and meant it right from the heart

But now it is different how people have changed

The words of the Bible it don't mean a thing.



God made the ocean the land and the trees

He made the flowers the birds and the bees

Why he first missed all this trouble and strife

That is just one of the mysteries of life.



It's a mystery of life 'cause someone so sweet

Can pass you aside to be dirt at their feet

They'll take you and court you and make you their wife

And wife can't last this a mystery of life...
