Hank Snow - No Longer A Prisoner Lyrics
While a prisoner of war in KoreaSurrounded by guards and barrbed wireI dreamed of returnin' to you, dearOh, that was my heart's one desireNow at last I am free and returnin'And I'm thankful to God up aboveI'm no longer a prisoner of war, dearBut I'm still a prisoner of love(spoken)These past years, my darlin' were like a nightmare to meBut through all the hardships and the suffering it seemedLike your face I could always seeSeems like you gave me the courage and the will to liveWhen I was so heartsick and blueAnd my lonely hours seemed to fly quickly by, dearWhen I was thinking of youYa know, honey, I didn't recieve all of your lettersTill way after the truce was signedBut now that I've read them all overI hope, dear, that you haven't changed your mindGee, now soon this plane is gonna be landin' andI hope you'll be waitin' there for meThe minutes are draggin' by like hours nowWhat's my fate to beIn the crowd, dear, I see you there wavin'And I'm thankful to God up aboveFor this ole' plane has just hit the runwayAnd I'm safe in the arms of my love
