The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
Six-foot-six, 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 to gamble on luck 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 hands Like the world 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 around Ever since time, nothing's ever been found Stronger than love Some men are like me, they worry and doubt Trouble their minds, day in and day out Too busy with livin' to worry about A thing called love But then I see a mother's tenderness As she holds her young close to her breast Then I think by God, this world was blessed With a thing called love Can't see it with your eyes, hold it in your hands 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 around Ever since time, nothing's ever been found Stronger than love
