They say that love's a very old word
It dates 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 Caesar wealth before the battle
The one he loved had found somebody knew
And I guess that's why these tears of mine keep falling
For like him I too am losing you
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
