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
