Lyrics
A lone from night to night, you’ll (Gm)find (A7)me,
too weak to break the chains that (C9)bind me;
I need no shack les to re (Gm)mind me,
I’m just a (F7)pris ’ner of (Fm7)love.
For one com mand I stand and (Gm)wait (A7)now,
from one who’s mas ter of my (C9)fate now;
I can’t es cape, for it’s too (Gm)late now,
(Eb)I’m just a (Db9)pris ’ner of (Eb)love.
(D7)What’s the (Gm)good of my (D7)car ing, if (Gm)some one is (D7)shar ing those (Gm)arms (D7)with (Gm)me?
(D7)Al though (G)he has an (D7)oth er, I (G)can’t have an (D7)oth er; for (G)I’m (D7)not (Bb7)free.
He’s in my dreams, a wake or (Gm)sleep (A7)ing,
up on my knees to him I’m (C9)creep ing;
my ver y life is in his (Gm)keep ing,
(Eb)I’m just a (Db9)pris ’ner of (Eb)love.
A lone from night to night, you’ll (Gm)find (A7)me,
too weak to break the chains that (C9)bind me;
I need no shack les to re (Gm)mind me,
I’m just a (F7)pris ’ner of (Fm7)love.
For one com mand I stand and (Gm)wait (A7)now,
from one who’s mas ter of my (C9)fate now;
I can’t es cape, for it’s too (Gm)late now,
(Eb)I’m just a (Db9)pris ’ner of (Eb)love.
(D7)What’s the (Gm)good of my (D7)car ing, if (Gm)some one is (D7)shar ing those (Gm)arms (D7)with (Gm)me?
(D7)Al though (G)she has an (D7)oth er, I (G)can’t have an (D7)oth er; for (G)I’m (D7)not (Bb7)free.
She’s in my dreams, a wake or (Gm)sleep (A7)ing,
up on my knees to her I’m (C9)creep ing;
my ver y life is in her (Gm)keep ing,
(Eb)I’m just a (Db9)pris ’ner of (Eb)love.
(Eb)love.
