(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.      --- Instrumental ---      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...
