Mysteries of Life

So many beautiful stories are told

Of love and affection that's purer than gold

They meet and they love and he makes her his wife

And why it can't last is a mystery of life

I love you my darlin' I've always been true

Wherever you go I'll be thinkin' of you

You say you don't want me you wish to be free

If that's what you want that's the way it will be

I love you too much and not wisely I know

I thought it was right 'cause you said it was so

And now for my wrong dearly I pay the cost

The price is so high if your love I have lost

When Daddy told Mother till death to us part

He said it and meant it right from the heart

But now it is different how people have changed

The words of the Bible they don't mean a thing

God made the ocean the forest and trees

He made the flowers the birds and the bees

And why He permits all these troubles and strife

That is just one of the mysteries of life
