[Chorus]
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

[Chorus 2]
I can't believe
I've lost the very best of me

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus 2]
I can't believe
I've lost the very best of me

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
My love is gone
She suffered long
In hours of pain

[Verse 2]
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?

[Chorus]
My love is gone
She suffered long
In hours of pain

[Outro]
My love is gone
Would it be wrong if I should
Just turn my face away from the light
Go with her tonight?
