The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- I dreamed alone till arms unknown
Embraced me and held me so sweetly
Thrilled by your touch, they taught me much
And now I’m yours completely
They brought me love in a night
‘Twas a love that is called love at sight
Chorus
Put your arms where they belong
For they belong to me
Thrill me with your arms divine
Caress me tenderly
I never knew what true love meant
You came along, you’re Heaven sent
Put your arms where they belong
For they belong to me
- Love tales you’ve told, will never grow old
I cling to each word of your story
Kisses you gave made me your slave
Your eyes say you adore me
One proof of love I like best
Comes to me when I’m fondly caressed
