So many beautiful stories are told
   G7                                   C
Of love and affection that's purer than gold
                                             F
They meet and they love and he makes her his wife
    G7                                C
And why it can't last is a mystery of life
 
                                       F
I love you my darling I've always been true
    G7                              C
Wherever you go I'll be thinking of you
                                         F
You say you don't want me you wish to be free
   G7                                          C
If that's what you want that's the way it will be
 
                                     F
I love you too much and not wisely I know
  G7                                         C
I thought it was right cause you said it was so
                                      F
And now for my wrong dearly I pay the cost
    G7                                   C
The price is so high if your love I have lost
 
                                        F
When daddy told mother till death to us part
   G7                                  C
He said it and meant it right from the heart
                                        F
But now it is different how people have changed
    G7                                   C
The words of the Bible they don't mean a thing
 
                                  F
God made the ocean the forest and trees
   G7                                 C
He made the flowers the birds and the bees
                                          F
And why He permits all these troubles and strife
     G7                              C
That is just one of the Mysteries Of Life
