Loving Arms - Irma Thomas

If you could see me now

The one who said that he’d rather roam

The one who said he’d rather be alone

If you could only see me now

If I could hold you now

Just for a moment if I could make you mine

Just for a while turn back the hands of time

If I could only hold you now

I’ve been too long in the wind, too long in the rain

Taking any comfort that I can

Looking back and longing for the freedom from my chains

Lying in your loving arms again

If you could hear me now

Singing somewhere through the lonely nights

Dreaming of the arms that held me tight

If you could only hear me now

I’ve been too long in the wind, too long in the rain

Taking any comfort that I can

Looking back and longing for the freedom from my chains

Lying in your loving arms again
