[Lyric] Beloved Wife Paradise Is There Version (Natalie Merchant)

[Verse]
You were the love for certain of my life
You were simply my belovèd wife
I don't know for certain how I'll live my life
Now alone, without my belovèd wife
My belovèd wife

[Chorus]
Oh, I
Can't believe
That I've lost
The very best of me

[Verse]
You were the love for certain of my life
You were simply, my belovèd wife
I don't know for certain how I'll live my life
Now alone, without my belovèd wife
My belovèd wife

[Chorus]
Oh, I
Can't believe
That I've lost
The very best of me
[Bridge]
You were the love for certain of my life
For fifty years, simply, my belovèd wife
With another love, I'll never lie again
It's you I can't deny
You I can't defy
A depth so deep to my grief
Without my belovèd soul I renounce my life
As my right
Now alone, without my belovèd wife
My belovèd wife

[Outro]
My belovèd wife
My belovèd wife
My love is gone
My love is gone
And all the joy she gave to my life
Goes with her tonight
