[00:11.85] The jury found the verdict first degree
[00:19.34] They swore I planned her death to be
[00:26.23] I prayed they'd sentence me to die
[00:33.03] But they wanted me to live and I know why
[00:39.21] So I'd do life in prison for the wrongs I've done
[00:46.95] And I pray every night for death to come
[00:53.11] My life will be a burden every day
[01:00.40] If I could die, my pain might go away
[01:07.66]
[01:35.66] With trembling hands I killed my darling wife
[01:43.47] Because I loved her more than life
[01:49.41] My love for her will last a long, long time
[01:56.45] But I'd rather die than live to lose my mind
[02:03.39] And I'll do life in prison for the wrongs I've done
[02:11.10] And I pray every night for death to come
[02:17.33] My life will be a burden every day
[02:24.78] If I could die, my pain might go away
[02:31.51] If I could die, my pain might go away
