SAFE IN MY ARMS AGAIN
(Billy Reid)


Dorothy Squires - 1945





You came in my life like a bird on the wing
You were the love in my heart
Then came a day on that morn in Spring
Fate had decreed we should part

I still feel your kiss as you bid me goodbye
Then faded away in the green
Wherever you may be, my heart is yours
Till you come back again

I'll never live again till you return
Safe in my arms again

And though you have gone from my side
I send you my love song tonight

God bless you and keep you and always be near you
Whatever the danger may be
I pray for the meeting, my love I'll be greeting
May God bring you safely to me

Now peace has descended, this nightmare has ended
The lights of the world shine bright again
My heart will grow lighter, my eyes will shine brighter
And sunshine will banish all pain, darling

And so till the end, dear, my heart will pretend
That you are still here by my side
Wherever you may be, my heart is yours
Till you come back again

I'll never live again till you return
Safe in my arms again
