          C
Six foot six he stood on the ground,
he weighed two-hundred and thirty-five pounds
                Dm
But I saw that giant of a man
         G                    C
brought down to his knees by love
                    C
He was the kind of man that would gamble on luck,
look you in the eye and never back up
                Dm
But I saw him crying like a
                G              C
little whipped pup because of love

Chorus:
                            C
You can't see it with your eyes,
                 F
hold it in your hand
             Em                   Am
But like the wind that covers our land
                  F                     Dm
Strong enough to rule the heart of any man,
                   G
this thing called love
                C                  F
It can lift you up, never let you down
          Em                      A7
Take your world and turn it all around
            C
Ever since time nothing's ever been
 G                          C
found that's stronger than love

Most men are like me, they struggle and 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

Chorus

Ever since time nothing's ever been
found that’s stronger than love
