If I could hold you in the arms of love tonight I'd never let you go As the hours go by I'd show you why we've waited for this As two lovers whisper low If I could feel that magic kiss your lips invite Imagine the joys I'd know The day has died away, let's find a hideaway And share the promise of a new tomorrow In the arms of love tonight The day has died away, let's find a hideaway And share the promise of a new tomorrow In the arms of love tonight Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
