A thing called love

by Elvis Presley

Album: The definitive gospel album

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 love
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 hand
Like the wind it covers our land
Strong enough to rule the heart of any man
This thing called love (this thing called love)
He can lift you up, he can put you down
Take your world and turn it all around
Ever since time nothin's ever been found
Stronger than love

It's men like me, they worry and doubt
They trouble their minds day in and day out
Too busy with 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 my God this world's was blessed
With a thing called love

Can't see it with your eyes, hold it in your hand
Like the wind it covers our land
Strong enough to rule the heart of any man
This thing called love (this thing called love)
He can lift you up, he can put you down
Take your world and turn it all around
Ever since time nothin's ever been found
Stronger than love
