A Thing Called Love

Johnny Cash Johnny Cash

Six foot six he stood on the ground, he weighted 235 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 crying like a little whipped pup because of love

You can't see it with your eyes, hold it in your hands
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, never let you down
Take your world and 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
They trouble their mind's day in and day out
Too busy with living to worry about a little word like love

But when I see a mother's tenderness
As she holds her young close to her breast
Then I thank God that the world's been blessed with a thing called love

You can't see it with your eyes, hold it in your hands
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, never let you down
Take your world and turn it all around
Ever since time, nothing's ever been found that's stronger than love
Ever since time, nothing's ever been found that's stronger than love
