Prisoner of
Love
(1945/46 recording)
Alone from night
to night youll find me,
Too weak to break
the chains that bind me,
I need no shackles
to remind me,
Im just a
prisoner of love!
For one command I
stand and wait now,
From one
whos master of my fate now,
I cant
escape for its too late now,
Im just a
prisoner of love!
Whats the
good of my caring,
if someone is
sharing those arms with me!
Although she has
another,
I cant have
another, for Im not free!
Shes in my
dreams awake or sleeping,
Upon my knees to
her Im creeping,
My very life is in
her keeping,
Im just a
prisoner of love . . .
Whats the
good of my caring,
if someone is
sharing those arms with me!
Although she has
another,
I cant have
another, for Im not free!
Shes in my
dreams awake or sleeping,
Upon my knees to
her Im creeping,
My very life is in
her keeping,
Im just a
prisoner of love . . .
