A Thing Called Love
(Johnny Cash)

(Hubbard)
1988 PolyGram Records Inc. (original version)

Six foot six he stood on the ground
He 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 a 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
or 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
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 in doubt
They trouble their minds 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
or 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
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
