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
