Prisoner of
Love
( V-Disc recording )
( Orchestral Opening }
Alone from night
to night you’ll find me,
Too weak to break
the chains that bind me,
I need no shackles
to remind me,
I’m just a
prisoner of love!
For one command I
stand and wait now,
From one
who’s master of my fate now,
I can’t
escape for it’s too late now,
I’m just a
prisoner of love!
What’s the
good of my carin',
if someone is
sharing those arms with me!
Although she has
another,
I can’t have
another, for I’m not free!
She’s in my
dreams awake or sleeping,
Upon my knees to
her I’m creeping,
My very life is in
her keeping,
I’m just a
prisoner of love . . .
( Orchestral bridge }
What’s the
good of my carin',
if someone is
sharing those arms with me!
I can’t have another,
I don't want
another, for I’m not free!
She’s in my
dreams awake or sleeping,
Upon my knees to
her I’m creeping,
My very life is in
her keeping,
I’m just a
prisoner of love . . .
