IN THE ARMS OF LOVE
Henry Mancini (m) Jay Livingston (l) Ray Evans (l)  1966

as rec by Matt Monro  1967

also rec by Andy Williams '66


If I could hold you in my arms of love tonight,
Then I'd never let you go!
As the hours go by,
I'd show you why we waited for this,
As two lovers whisper low.

If I could feel that magic kiss your lips invite,
Imagine the joys I'd know!
The day has died away,
Let's find a hideaway,
And share the promise of a new tomorrow
In the arms of love tonight!

If I could hold you in my arms of love tonight,
Then I'd never let you go!
As the hours go by,
I'd show you why we waited for this,
As two lovers whisper low.

If I could feel that magic kiss your lips invite,
Imagine the joys I'd know!
The day has died away,
Let's find a hideaway,
And share the promise of a new tomorrow
In the arms of love,
In the arms of love!

If I could feel that magic kiss your lips invite,
Imagine the joys I'd know!
The day has died away,
Let's find a hideaway,
And share the promise of a new tomorrow
In the arms of love tonight!
