Tom T. Hall Lyrics
"Lovin' Arms"

(Tom Jans)

If you could see me now
The one who said that he'd rather roam
The one who said he'd rather be alone
If you could only see me now.

If I could hold you now just for a moment
If I could really make you mine
Just for a while turn back the hands of time
If I could only hold you now.

I've been too long in the wind, too long in the rain
Taking any comforts that I can
Looking back and longin' for the freedom of my chains
Laying in your lovin' arms again.

--- Instrumental ---

If you could hear me now
Singing somewhere in the lonely night
Dreaming of the arms that held me tight
If you could only see me now.

I've been too long in the wind, too long in the rain
Taking any comforts that I can
Looking back and longin' for the freedom of my chains
Laying in your lovin' arms again.

If you could see me now...
