One of the Mysteries of Life

(Tom T. Hall)



If I were you I wouldn't waste my time

You can't answer all the questions in your mind

Love is love and you can't make it right

It's one of the mysteries of life.



How can you know love when no one ever knew

It's mother of all happiness and father of the blues

Love puts sunshine in your days then steals your sleep at night

It's one of the mysteries of life.



Maybe you should take it day by day

If you hold love too loosly it will fly away

If you hold love too tightly it will die

It's one of the mysteries of life.



How can you know love when no one ever knew

It's mother of all happiness and father of the blues

Love puts sunshine in your days then steals your sleep at night

It's one of the mysteries of life...
