A GIRL IN YOUR ARMS IS WORTH TWO IN YOUR DREAMS
(Percy Wenrich / Jack Mahoney)


Grace Nash & Henry Burr - 1915




BURR:
Dearie, won't you light your face up with a smile
Dreamy eyes were never meant for you
NASH:
Dreamland's full of dreamers dreaming all the while
Idle dreams that ne'er come true
BURR:
What's the use of dreaming when I'm at your side
NASH: 
Lift your eyes, my Honey, and you'll see
BOTH:
Mellow moon is shining and my heart is pining
Nestle nearer and I'll happy be


BOTH:
For a girl in your arms is worth two in your dreams
NASH:
You're hesitating
BURR:
And I've been waiting
BOTH:
For a long, long time, it seems
BURR:
Cuddle up to me and I'll be in clover
NASH:
Hold me in your fond embrace and start all over, Hon-ey
BOTH:
A girl in your arms is worth two in your dreams


BURR:
Arms were made to put around your only girl
Eyes were made to look right into mine
NASH:
Lips were made for kissing when the heart's a-whirl
Standing in the pale moonshine
BURR:
Dearie, if you take a mortgage on my love
NASH:
I could learn to think a lot of you
BOTH:
Pay it off with kisses, what a pleasure this is
Ev'ry night the int'rest will be due


BOTH:
For a girl in your arms is worth two in your dreams
NASH:
You're hesitating
BURR:
And I've been waiting
BOTH:
For a long, long time, it seems
BURR:
Cuddle up to me and I'll be in clover
NASH:
Hold me in your fond embrace and start all over, Honey
BOTH:
A girl in your arms is worth two in your dreams
