"These Arms of Mine," Willie and the Poor Boys

These arms of mine
They are yearning
They are yearning
Yearning to hold you

These arms of mine
They are wanting
They are wanting
Wanting your love

And if you were to let them hold you
Oh, how grateful they would be
Oh, how grateful they would be

These arms of mine
They are searching
Searching
For someone like you

These arms of mine
They are yearning
Yearning
Yearning to hold you

And if you were to let them hold you
Oh, how grateful they would be
Oh, how grateful they would be
And if you were to let them hold you
Oh, how grateful they would be
Oh, how grateful they would be
Oh, how grateful they would be
Oh, how grateful they would be...

The first time I ever held her, this is the song I sang to myself afterwards. I loved the song years before I ever met her - and still, the song has been changed forever. I love it more now.
