Beloved Wife Lyrics

Natalie Merchant

You were the love
For certain of my life
You were simply my beloved wife
I dont know for certain
How Ill live my life
Now alone without my beloved wife
My beloved wife
I cant believe
Ive lost the very best of me
You were the love
For certain of my life
You were simply my beloved wife
I dont know for certain
How Ill live my life
Now alone without my beloved wife
My beloved wife
I cant believe
Ive 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 Ill never lye again
Its you I cant deny
Its you I cant 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?
