The Oak Ridge Boys - Hold You In My Arms

When you came to me with your
Bad dreams and your fears
It was easy to see you'd been crying
Seems like everywhere you turn
Catastrophe it reigns
But who really profit's from the dying

I could hold you in my arms, oo oo oo
I could hold you forever
I could hold you in my arms, oo oo oo
I could hold you forever

When you kissed my lips with my
Mouth so full of questions
My worried mind that you quiet
Place your hands on my face
Close my eyes and say
That love is a poor man's food
Don't prophesise

I could hold you in my arms, oo oo oo
I could hold you forever
I could hold you in my arms, oo oo oo
I could hold you forever

So now we see how it is
This fist begets the spear
Weapons of war, symptoms of madness
Don't let your eyes refuse to see
Don't let your ears refuse to hear
Or you ain't never going to
Shake this sense of sadness

I could hold you in my arms
Oo oo oo I could hold you forever
I could hold you in my arms, oo oo oo
I could hold on forever
