Well, she said, I was someone's darling
I never gave up
I've seen trouble come through my door
Rain poured down like there's no tomorrow
Raised three children in the same room
Thirty years later, I'll raise you
I watched him run out, he ain't come back
That's just laughing, I can't change that

But darling, trouble comes and trouble goes
But Tom, you really ought to know
That love is all that matters in the end
Can't spend your money when you're dead
Can't live this life again
Yeah, it's messed up but we got love
At least we got love
That's all that matters in the end
Can't spend your money when you're dead
Can't live this life again
Yeah, it's messed up but we got love
At least we got love
That's all that matters in the end
That's all that matters in the end

Well she said, You can take tough, darling
It runs in your blood
That was nice but I never slept
The world weighed heavy upon my chest
I talk on cancer and I brave through
Eleven years later, still with you
So don't you ever give up on hope
You might break but your bones stay broke

And darling, trouble comes and trouble goes
But Tom, you really ought to know
That love is all that matters in the end
Can't spend your money when you're dead
Can't live this life again
Yeah, it's messed up but we got love
At least we got love
That's all that matters in the end
Can't spend your money when you're dead
Can't live this life again
Yeah, it's messed up but we got love
At least we got love
That's all that matters in the end

And I said I swear I'm gonna do you proud
And hold on while this love I found
When I'm old, I say the same things to my kids
Give 'em what you gave me
Well, I'll tell 'em everything you said
That love is all that matters in the a-a-a-end
That love is all that matters in the a-a-a-end
That love is all that matters in the end, end
That love is all that matters in the end, a-a-a-end
