“No Escape From Love”
Author Unknown
Performed by Brigitte Horney, playing “Lena Schmidt”
in I married a Spy (1937)
There’s no escape
When you’re within the spell of love
There’s no escape —
You must remain in your place.
You can’t get freed
So you may know the well of love
There’s no release,
Your heart won’t bleed
To tell of love.
You can’t forget
The many thrills that you have known
They’re with you, yet —
Although your luck has flown
While you’ve denied
That the magic flame has ever died
Your heart knows you have lied
There is no escape from love!
While you’ve denied
That the magic flame has ever died
Your heart knows you have lied
There is no escape from love!
