Beloved wWife - Natalie Merchant

You were the love

For certain of my life

You were simply my beloved wife

I don't know for certain

How I'll live my life

Now alone without my beloved wife

My beloved wife

I can't believe

I've lost the very best of me

You were the love

For certain of my life

You were simply my beloved wife

I don't know for certain

How I'll live my life

Now alone without my beloved wife

My beloved wife

I can't believe

I've lost the very best of me

You were the love

For certain of my life

For fifty years simply my beloved wife

With another love I'll never lie again

It's you I can't deny

It's you I can't defy

A depth so deep into my grief

Without my beloved soul

I renounce my life

As my right

Now alone without my beloved wife

My beloved wife

My beloved wife

My beloved wife

My love is gone she suffered long

In hours of pain

My love is gone

Now my suffering begins

My love is gone

Would it be wrong if I should

Surrender all the joy in my life

Go with her tonight

My love is gone she suffered long

In hours of pain

My love is gone

Would it be wrong if I should

Just turn my face away from the light

Go with her tonight
