Mysteries Of Life Lyrics - Jean Shepard

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
