A Thing Called Love

(Jerry Reed Hubbard)



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 a kind of man that would gamble on luck

Look you in the eye and never back up

But I saw him 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 that 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

Yake your world turn it all around

Ever since time nothing's ever been found

Stronger than love.



Most men are like me they struggle in doubt

Trouble their minds day in and day out

Too busy of 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 God that this world's been blessed

With a thing called love.



Can't see it with your eyes, hold it in your hand

But like the wind that covers our land

Strong enough to rule the heart

Of any man this thing called love...
