Beloved Wife

I've lost the very best of me
Oh I can't believe
For 50 years simply my beloved wife
It's you I can't deny, it's you I can't defy

My love is gone, she suffered long in hours of pain
You were the love for certain of my life

My love is gone, would it be wrong if I should

With another love I'll never lie again
My love is gone, she suffered long in hours of pain
Surrender all the joy in my life, go with her tonight?
I've lost the very best of me
You were the love for certain of my life
I don't know for certain how I'll live my life
Without my beloved soul
Oh I, I can't believe

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
Now alone without my beloved wife, my beloved wife
My love is gone and now my suffering begins

Now alone without my beloved wife, my beloved wife
My beloved wife, my beloved wife

I renounce my life as my right
A depth so deep into my grief
My love is gone, would it be wrong if I should
