Dolly Parton - Prime Of Our Love lyrics

I have rocked you to sleep like a baby Stood beneath you and lifted you up I have given you comfort and safety Now you've gone in the prime of our love I have cradled your head on my pillow Quenched your thirst from my sweet loving cup I have bowed to your needs like a willow Now you've gone in the prime of our love Oh, the days are slow in their pa**ing And the nights are so dreadfully dull And the question my heart keeps on asking Why'd you leave in the prime of our love? I have cradled your head on my pillow Quenched your thirst from my sweet loving cup I have bowed to your needs like a willow Now you've gone in the prime of our love In the prime of our love you've forsaken Our bright hopes and just left them to fade And the heart that was yours for the breaking Lies in pieces to wither away I have cradled your head on my pillow Quenched your thirst from my sweet loving cup I have bowed to your needs like a willow Now you've gone in the prime of our love In the prime of our love you've forsaken Our bright hopes and just left them to fade And the heart that was yours for the breaking Lies in pieces to wither away Lies in pieces as cold as the clay
