Jean Shepard - The Mysteries of LifeLyrics

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 wife can't last this a mystery of life I love you my darling I've always been true Wherever you go I'll be thinking 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 It's a mystery of life cause someone so sweet Can pass you aside to be dirt at their feet They'll take you and court you and make you their wife And wife can't last this a mystery of life When daddy told mother till death do 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 it don't mean a thing God made the ocean the land and the trees He made the flowers the birds and the bees Why he first missed all this trouble and strife That is just one of the mysteries of life It's a mystery of life
