Jeannie Seely - Can I Sleep In Your Arms Lyrics

 

Don't know why, but the one I love left me,

Left me lonely, and cold and so weak,

And I need someone's arms to hold me,

'Til I'm strong enough to get back on my feet.

 

Can I sleep in your arms tonight Mister,

It's so cold lying here all alone,

And I have no hold to hold on you,

I assure you I'll do you no wrong

 

I haven't smiled since he left me,

Cause a smile somehow seems out of place,

And I just need two lips to kiss me,

Then I can smile again and I can show my face.

 

Can I sleep in your arms tonight Mister,

It's so cold lying here all alone,

And I have no hold to hold on you,

I assure you I'll do you no wrong
