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
