About Safe in the Arms of Love

"Safe in the Arms of Love" is a country music song written by Mary Ann Kennedy, Pam Rose and Pat Bunch in 1986. The song was originally recorded by the American country music band Wild Choir. It was issued on their self-titled debut album in 1986 and was also released as the project's lead single. The song failed to chart. A music video, directed by David Hogan, was shot for the band's version and was scheduled to be broadcast on MTV, but due to a program change, never aired. The song was later recorded by Baillie & the Boys in 1989 on their Turn the Tide album. In 1994, two of the song's co-writers, Mary Ann Kennedy and Pam Rose who were performing as Kennedy Rose, recorded the song on their second album, Walk the Line. In late 1994, Michelle Wright recorded and released the song as a single the following year. Her version was included on her 1994 album The Reasons Why. The song also recorded in 1995 by Martina McBride on her album Wild Angels. McBride released her version as a single shortly after Wright's version.

My heart's not ready for the rocking chair.
I need somebody who really cares.
So tired of living solitaire,
Someday I'm gonna be,
Safe in the arms of love.

Strip your heart and it starts to snow.
Love is high wire act I know.
Someday I'll find a net below.
Someday I'm gonna be,
Safe in the arms of love.
Safe in the arms of love

I want arms that know how to rock me,
Safe in the arms of love.
I want to fall and know that love has caught me,
Safe in the arms of love.
Safe in the arms of love.

I want a heart to be forever mine.
I want eyes to see me satisfied.
I'm gonna hang my heartaches out to dry.
Someday I'm gonna be,
Safe in the arms of love.
Safe in the arms of love.

I want arms that know how to rock me,
Safe in the arms of love.
I want to fall and know that love has caught me,
Safe in the arms of love.
Safe in the arms of love.

I want arms that know how to rock me,
Safe in the arms of love.
I want to fall and know that love has caught me,
Safe in the arms of love.
Safe in the arms of love.
Safe in the arms of love.
