Also recorded by: Elsie Carlisle





You're in my arms and I thrill to your touch while we're dancing
You look as sweet as the music the violins play
I'm so foolish to cling to a thing that's no longer entrancing
You're in my arms and a million miles away

You're in my arms, but your heart's far away while we're dancing
Lost in a world of its own where I've no right to stray
Why do I still pretend there's no end to our lovely romancing
You're in my arms and a million miles away

Wasn't it yesterday you whispered, "I love you so"
Or, was it yesterday a million years ago

You're in my arms and I gaze in those eyes while we're dancing
Deep in your heart I can see that our love's had its day
So, I'll just say "Farewell", it was sweet, it was swell, while it lasted
Bring down the curtain, we've come to the end of the play
You and your heart are a million miles away
