Natalie Merchant - Beloved Wife lyrics

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 50 years simply my beloved wife With another love i'll never lye 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 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?
