Prime Of Our Love Lyrics - Dolly Parton

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
