[verse]

As I lay here awake, thinking of my life, and all that I gave for the mother and the wife, life's a hard row to hoe, y'got to learn how to bend. Just had to let you know it was worth it in the end. It was worth it in the end.

It was like heaven on Earth, for to lie by your side, for to lie by your side, for to lie by your side.

And listen to your breath, and look into your eyes. Lie my head upon your breast each day until I die, until the day I die.

It was like heaven on Earth, for to lie by your side, just to lie by your side, just to lie by your side.

And, oh how I hurt, each day that I worked. Both hands they did ache and my back it did break for the mother and the child.

It was like heaven on Earth, for to lie by your side, just to lie by your side, just to lie by your side.

And as my life passes on to wherever life goes, in my time on this earth you taught me how to grow. You taught me how to grow.

It was like heaven on earth, just to lie by your side, just to lie by your side just to lie by your side.

To lie by your side, side, side, just to lie by your side. Just to lie by your side. Just to lie by your side.
