CHORUS 



Heaven on earth, for worse or for better

Some say paradise is nice but you can't make it last forever

Heaven on earth, now I just can't see 

How I can ever find another reason to be



Mama's in the kitchen talkin' on the phone 

She never could get used to having dinner alone

It's been eleven months since he passed away 

But she can't bring herself to pack his things away 



She said, "What I'm needin' inside no one on earth can provide"



CHORUS



Nights of conversation 'round the kitchen table 

With advice from knowing children she raised from the cradle 

Everybody tells her she should just resign 

To the things that she's been through a thousand times in her mind 



She said, "What I'm needin' inside no one on earth can provide"



CHORUS



Maybe he got tired, maybe he got bored 

Maybe the old man just didn't care anymore 

No matter what the reason she does what she can 

To be the lovin' wife who always understands



CHORUS
