C F
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
