Hank Snow - No Longer a Prisoner lyrics

While a prisoner of war in Korea Surrounded by guards and barrbed wire I dreamed of returnin' to you, dear Oh, that was my heart's one desire Now at last I am free and returnin' And I'm thankful to God up above I'm no longer a prisoner of war, dear But I'm still a prisoner of love (spoken) These past years, my darlin' were like a nightmare to me But through all the hardships and the suffering it seemed Like your face I could always see Seems like you gave me the courage and the will to live When I was so heartsick and blue And my lonely hours seemed to fly quickly by, dear When I was thinking of you Ya know, honey, I didn't recieve all of your letters Till way after the truce was signed But now that I've read them all over I hope, dear, that you haven't changed your mind Gee, now soon this plane is gonna be landin' and I hope you'll be waitin' there for me The minutes are draggin' by like hours now What's my fate to be In the crowd, dear, I see you there wavin' And I'm thankful to God up above For this ole' plane has just hit the runway And I'm safe in the arms of my love
