They say that love's a very old word it dated back to the starting of time

You can read it in the pages of hist'ry where for the love of a woman man has cried

They say that Cesar wealth before the batlle

The one he loved had found somebody knew

And I guess that's why these tears of mine keep falling

Well like him I too am losing you

[ guitar - steel ]

They say that absence make the heart grow fonder

Short partings can bring tears to our eyes

Like the story of Sampson and Delilah for the love of a woman man has cried

That's why I'm not ashamed to admit it ashamed to say I've cried for you at night

For the pages of hist'ry repeal it where for the love of a woman man has cried
