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 and 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 my life
Go with her tonight

Note to self:  never listen to this beautiful song moments before getting on a WebEx call!  Tears
This one always gets to me.  Such beauty in the words.  I imagine that if I had a do-over, I'd find a love like this.  Until then, I shall sing to myself.

I was thinking, Ugh!  Natalie M.  Went to psd and saw I rated it 10.  LOL.  Must be because my beloved wife has stage 4 cancer, and this song makes me appreciate her every day we have left.


I can't believe my luck.

Finding the right partner is a treasure ... I thank my wife every morning when I wake up.

Speak for yourself
YMMV
Beautiful song.


"Without my beloved soul. I renounce my life as my right." - Gets me every time I listen to this song..

The ending is cut off. Great song.
