Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
I’ve let a pair of arms enslave me
Oft times before
But more than just a thrill, you gave me
Yes more, much more
Refrain
Heart and soul I fell in love with you
Heart and soul the way a fool would do
Madly because you held me tight
And stole a kiss in the night
Heart and soul I begged to be adored
Lost control and tumbled overboard
Gladly that magic night we kissed there in the moonmist
Oh! but your lips were thrilling
Much too thrilling
Never before were mine so strangely willing
But now I see what one embrace can do
Look at me it’s got me loving you
Madly that little kiss you stole
Held all my heart and soul
