Bertha Phiri My Love

Bertha Phiri, my love of my life

Bertha Phiri, you came back to me

We started so good, you and me

A beautiful story, a perfect dream

But the wind from nowhere, it came one day

Blew our bridge apart, scattered us away

Different paths, different lives we led

But you were always dancing in my head

Years gone by, I never thought again

That fate would bring us back as more than friends

I tried some love, but it never fit

No one could match the spark we lit

But here you are, standing by my side

Bertha Phiri, you're my greatest pride

Bertha Phiri, you're my love of my life

Bertha Phiri, gonna make you my wife

Through the storm and the rain, through the pain and the strife

Bertha Phiri, my love of my life

Yebo, yebo, you're the one I see

Bertha Phiri, you were meant for me

All these years, you were on my mind

Now thank God, our souls realigned

We were young and wild, burning bright

But life had other plans that night

The wind took us to different shores

But something kept knocking at my doors

Every woman that I tried to hold

Felt empty, felt wrong, felt cold

But when I looked into your eyes again

I knew that we were meant to mend

The broken pieces of our past

This love, this time, it's built to last

No more running, no more pain

Bertha Phiri, let me call your name

Bertha Phiri, you're my love of my life

Bertha Phiri, gonna make you my wife

Through the storm and the rain, through the pain and the strife

Bertha Phiri, my love of my life

Yebo, yebo, you're the one I see

Bertha Phiri, you were meant for me

All these years, you were on my mind

Now thank God, our souls realigned

They say that true love never dies

It only sleeps and waits for time

To bring two hearts back to the start

Bertha, you own my soul, my heart

Eish, I'm grateful for this second chance

To hold you close, to dance this dance

Sharp sharp, the future's looking bright

With you beside me, everything's right

Asambe, let's walk this road together

Bertha Phiri, forever and forever

So here's my promise, written in stone

You'll never feel alone again, alone

I'll cherish every moment that we share

I'll show you love beyond compare

No more winds will break our way

Bertha Phiri, you're here to stay

The love of my life, the one I choose

With you beside me, I cannot lose

Years apart have made it clear

That you're the only one so dear

I'm ready now to say it true

Bertha Phiri, I belong with you

Bertha Phiri, you're my love of my life

Bertha Phiri, gonna make you my wife

Through the storm and the rain, through the pain and the strife

Bertha Phiri, my love of my life

Yebo, yebo, you're the one I see

Bertha Phiri, you were meant for me

All these years, you were on my mind

Now thank God, our souls realigned

Bertha Phiri, my love of my life

Bertha Phiri, gonna make you my wife

Sho, we made it back, we found our way

Bertha Phiri, every single day

Aweh, thank God you're here to stay

My love of my life, always
