CHORUS Heaven on earth, for worse or for better Some say paradise is nice but you can't make it last forever Heaven on earth, now I just can't see How I can ever find another reason to be Mama's in the kitchen talkin' on the phone She never could get used to having dinner alone It's been eleven months since he pa**ed away But she can't bring herself to pack his things away She said, "What I'm needin' inside no one on earth can provide" CHORUS Nights of conversation 'round the kitchen table With advice from knowing children she raised from the cradle Everybody tells her she should just resign To the things that she's been through a thousand times in her mind She said, "What I'm needin' inside no one on earth can provide" CHORUS Maybe he got tired, maybe he got bored Maybe the old man just didn't care anymore No matter what the reason she does what she can To be the lovin' wife who always understands CHORUS
