Prime of Our Love

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 passing
 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
