Hands that are strong but wrinkled
Doing work that never gets done
Hair that's lost some of her beauty
Far too many hours in the sun
Eyes that show some disappointment
And there's been quite a lot in her life
She's the foundation, Alina
She's the foundation, Alina
My woman, my woman, my wife
Every day it's been uphill
How we climb but we can't reach the top
I'm weak and I'm easily discouraged
I'm weak and I'm easily discouraged
I'm weak and I'm easily discouraged
She just smiles when I want to stop
Lips that are weary but tender
With love that strengthens my life
A saint in a dress made of gin and wine
My woman, my woman, my wife
Two little babies were born in the spring
But died when that winter was new
I lost control of my mind
And I'm not sure if I'll ever see you again
My soul, but my woman's faith
Carried us through
Lord, when she reaches that river
Lord, you know, yes you know
What she's worth
Give her that mansion way up yonder
Cause she's been through hell here on earth
Give her my share of heaven
If I've earned any and there's life
Cause God, I believe she deserves it
The only one worth for my life
My woman, my woman, my wife
Just you and I areice
Just you and I areice
My woman, my woman, my wife
Just you and I areice
Just you and I areice
Just you and I areice
Thank you.
