And that's the way it's been ever since.
When God first made the man He said, "What have I done?"
"He just sits there all alone. He's not having any fun.
I want all My creatures to enjoy their life.
I know what I'll do, I'll create him a wife.
So God set to work and He put him to sleep;
And as he slumbered The Lord dug down deep.
From his heart at the center He took the first part;
"She'll be filled with emotion, she will be his heart;
The thing in this world that he loves the most.
He'll love her and keep her, in her will he boast."
From under his arm He next took a rib;
From a place in his side, near the lungs where it hid,
Protected from harm and the wind and the rain.
"He'll lean on her should he come up lame;
For she is his helpmate , companion for him.
When he's tired or sad, she'll comfort him."
When Adam awoke and saw her at his side,
He smiled as God told him, "Here is your bride."
"She's the prettiest thing that I've ever seen;
But it's funny, you know, of a sudden it seems,
I can no longer stand so I better sit down.
She can get what I need, it's good she's around.
