BEAUTIFUL CHAINS OF LOVE

Description: Piano
I have been wild, I have been free
I have enjoyed my liberty
I've had enough freedom for me
Bring on the beautiful chains of love
Bring on the beautiful chains of love
I've travelled far to distant shores
But I don't need to wander more
The only love I need is yours
Bring on the beautiful chains of love
Bring on the beautiful chains of love
I've lived alone and for myself
So little room for someone else
But then you changed the way I live
And gave to me the need to give
And bright and golden as a crown
Wind them, weave them gently 'round
Let them sweetly weigh me down
Bring on the beautiful chains of love
Bring on the beautiful chains of love
I've lived alone and as I pleased
I've lived the lonely life of ease
I've lived for the little world I knew
But then came you
So now bring on the joys and pains
Bring on the losses and the gains
Bring on the summers and the rains
Bring on the beautiful chains of love
Bring on the beautiful chains of love
Bring on the beautiful chains of love
[October 1998]
