Natalie Merchant - Beloved Wife Lyrics
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
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
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 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
My love is gone she suffered long
In hours of pain
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?
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?

Natalie Merchant Beloved Wife Comments
2020, beautiful
Reminds me of Liz
This is what makes being human such a wonderful and precious thing. She strikes a cord down deep inside through the animal in us and straight into the human soul.
Powerful.
I listened to this every day while my grandmother was dying. I cried so much that when she passed I had no tears left. I grieved her before she was gone.
I love you daddy. I miss you. We weren’t on the best terms when you left a little while ago and I regret so much not talking to you more. I hope you’re at peace now. ~your 80 pound dumplin
My relationship was the exact same with my dad and he died Christmas Day 2014
It hurts so much... You're still here but I know I'm gonna hurt when you're gone. I love you Cheryl
All your children I help raise. I was not a beloved wife. Trophy. I helped raise your biological niece Natalie. Her name is Rebekah. She was adopted as a baby. I gave her LOVE. All I had to give. God bless you. True story. You know. 🙏🎵🌌⏳.

My love…
This will be my song should my husband’s death precede mine. I often think about my parents, who have both past. My mother went first which left my father so alone...I can only imagine his sadness.
"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?". 💔
My life is...😔
You know you grew up with a good childhood when you grew up listening to this song since you were the age of 4. I’m 18 years old still listening to this song. Thank you Natalie. You’ve helped me through so much shit growing up ❤️
Bless your parents. I grew up with Natalie and the Maniacs
She wrote this for her grampa. Through his eyes .....magical. Makes me cry.
She is a true empath! Beautiful
I have always loved her and this album!! I remember listening to Ms. Natalie Merchant when she was in the band 10,000 Maniacs!! Her voice, so soft and gentle, yet emotionally charged to make you wonder about all of the mysteries in life!!
“You HAVE taken those exact words right out of mouth!”..... I’m just 53 ya old, BUT, this song is SO deeply felt”
To: Lady Mrs Kelley
This is the one and only song that brings me to my knees with tears every time I listen to it. Losing a loved one is the hardest thing anyone can go through.
Me too. It's ABSOLUTELY haunting.
It brings an emotional response. I send all my love to my husband, who died young so long ago.
I can only say yes, very true. I look at this song from my dying Father's perspective, excuse my terrible punctuation! This song came into my head at the time.
Beautiful song 🤗
Why is it that whenever I'm blue...I feel the need to listen to this album which makes me so blue, I'm black? It is a mystery.
Dear ovalbeach, I have the answer to your question. It's from The Holy Scriptures (Ecclesiastes Ch. 7 verse 3): "Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better". We must cry and shed tears.... like rivers of water that flow down our cheeks because of overwhelming sadness. Yet, we are not to suffer as others who have no hope.
One word: Catharsis. You must dive in grief/sadness to surface whole again.
It's a puzzlement, for certain.
I have terminal cancer....I wonder if I should even let my husband know about this song. I used to purge a lot of tears to this
But to me it was about my youngest...my beloved son Liam. He died in a fire while visiting his father in Florida. Well....best wishes to all. 💜
Queen Husqvarna much love and prayers for you and your family❤
@Lisa Salehi Thank you so much! I'm trying to stay alive. I'm trying. Thank you very much.✊💜
I’m so sorry to hear that tragedy has hit you and your loved ones so mercilessly. Cling to love and those who love you. My deepest prayers go out to you @queen husqvarna
love and strength to you x
@Queen Husqvarna Sending you lots of love and healing energy❤🙏
Feeling this today💔in millions of pieces....
The only women I have ever called wife of 23 years served me with divorce papers this Friday....my heart is broken, at this point I chose never to have loved at all.
I'M so sorry. I understand that pain. Lost the LOVE of my life 8 years ago over something so dumb. Good luck too you.
Try to remember that love is love and one day down the road you will be grateful that you experienced it. My love goes out to broken hearts. They wouldn’t be broke hearts if the love wasn’t worth it some how.
True love: is exciting, is difficult, is happy, is scary, sad and wonderful, True love endures threw all space and time. It must have not been love.... I tell my self that, and hope seems to start to sneak back in to my blood pump....aka heart.
@Er Pu hearts are impossibly persistent in their wanting <3
Amazing song
God bless you. I'll love you.
mother nature is Natalie's bitch. . just sayin.
I’ve always loved this song. Just a beautifully artistic piece of work. Thank you Natalie.😌
I always loved her, and her voice, and her music, she is simply the best of all time! Natalie Merchant, an inspiration to us all!
If I was talking or doing something, when she would be on the radio, I would stop and listen, you cant miss that voice, I would go into a trance, I would be hypnotized mesmerized by Natalies beautiful singing. I think of the beautiful season of fall, when it comes to Natalies music. Natalie you are a very pleasant person to listen to when it comes to singing, I think of nature, the outdoors, lighthouses, sunsets, cool nights, and rivers. Your the best! Bless you!
My thoughts and prayers go with everyone that's lost from not being whole by missing your hearts...
Gay Lynne you've been gone five years today baby love you and miss you still
natalie merchants album was There, when there was nothing else in society, beauty always fills a void NICELY
Jaii Corporate there was some, but nothing makes my heart weep like this song.
Jaii Corporate that’s beautiful
+Jali Corporate - Your comment is false and does not make sense.
Waters, cannot say it is false, what do you know?
30 more years to go xoxo
Damn.....heavy 💛
My brothers song but he doesn't know it.
