Mysteries of Life
Unraveling Love's Enigma: Mysteries of Life by Hank Locklin
Lyrics
So many beautiful stories are told
Various beautiful stories are shared.
Of love and affection that's purer than gold
Describing love and affection as precious.
They meet and they love and he makes her his wife
A couple meets, falls in love, and gets married.
And why it can't last is a mystery of life.
Expressing uncertainty about why some love doesn't last.
I love you my darlin', I've always been true
Reiterating love and faithfulness.
Wherever you go, I'll be thinkin' of you
Promising constant thoughts of the loved one.
You say you don't want me, you wish to be free
Addressing a desire for freedom in the relationship.
If that's what you want, that's the way it will be.
Accepting the partner's wish for freedom.
I love you too much and not wisely, I know
Admitting excessive and unwise love.
I thought it was right 'cause you said it was so
Believing in the rightness of actions based on partner's words.
And now for my wrong, dearly I pay the cost
Facing consequences for perceived wrongs.
The price is so high, if your love I have lost.
Expressing the high cost of losing love.
When Daddy told Mother till death to us part
Recalling a commitment to lifelong love.
He said it and meant it, right from the heart
Emphasizing sincerity in the commitment.
But now it is different, how people have changed
Noting changes in people and their commitment to vows.
The words of the Bible, they don't mean a thing.
Doubting the significance of biblical words in contemporary society.
God made the ocean, the forest and trees
Reflecting on God's creation of nature.
He made the flowers, the birds and the bees
Mentioning various elements of nature created by God.
And why He permits all these troubles and strife
Questioning why God allows troubles and strife.
That is just one of the mysteries of life...
Describing the difficulties of life as one of its mysteries.
