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 fifty years simply me 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 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?
