Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
My beloved wife
[Verse 3]
Oh, I can't believe
I've lost the very best of me
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
My beloved wife
[Verse 6]
Oh, I can't believe
I've lost very best of me
[Verse 7]
You were the love, for certain, of my life
For fifty years, simply, my beloved life
With another love, I'll never lie again
It's you I can't deny, it's you I can't defy
[Verse 8]
A depth so deep into my grief
Without my beloved soul, I renounce my life
As my right
Now alone, without my beloved wife
[Verse 9]
My beloved wife
My beloved wife
My beloved wife
[Verse 10]
My love is gone, she suffered long, in hours of pain
My love is gone, and now my suffering begins
My love is gone, and 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
