a young man leaves his mother
finds himself a wife
they take each other by the hand
and venture into life
got so many bills to pay now
got a job to keep
ah, he wants to give her more
price is just too steep
yet she stands beside him smiling
gives him strength
helps him through the day
as the road grows long and winding
she takes him in her arms
and loves the pain away
at last the weekend rolls around
finally time for fun
he takes her for a bite to eat
tells her she's the one
they create a world thru kisses
no one else can enter in
ah, then Monday comes so fast
time to leave again
as he gets his tools together
doesn't speak'ain't too much to say
she drops his lunch right down beside them
takes him in her arms
and loves the pain away
loves the pain away now
loves the pain away
