In Your Arms

entry picture

In your arms is where I long to be
Without you I am all at sea
In your arms was my destiny
You rescued me and set me free
In your arms is where I long to be

The time that we were given
Was short but we were driven
Each and every day was a a gift
The sight of you gave my heart a lift
But alas it was not to last
Our happiness was running out fast

In your arms I had peace of mind 
You were gentle loving and kind
In your arms I had sanctuary 
Nobody in the world but you and me
In you arms is where I long to be

What captivated me was your smile
You adored me all the while 
I could clearly see the love in your eyes
My world was complete no surprise
But in a moment it was taken away
My life is now forever in disarray 

In your arms I never had a care
Love was all we had to share
In your arms our hearts beat as one
We were full of laughter and fun
In your arms is where I long to be

In your arms is where I long to be
There will never be another you and me
In your arms is where I long to be
