A popular song from 1910.
Words and music by Milton Ager.
Laurence (Milton’s nephew) says: “These are really nice renditions of very interesting songs. I really like his 16 year old song about “Two Loving Arms”–he was quite a charming little guy it seems. And those Oh-oo-ho! sequences seem very original.”

Lyrics
- There are many kinds of sensations
Oh-o-o-ho, Oh-o-o-ho
Which awaken queer exclamations
Oh-o-ho, Oh-o-ho, Oh
There’s the sensation of drinking beer and wine
The sensation of finding a gold mine
But I know one that is still more fine
Oh-o-o-o-o-ho, Oh-o-o-ho
Chorus
When two loving arms are around you
When one loving heart has found you
When two loving eyes look into your own
When one loving mouth says: “You’ve got me goin'”
When two loving pairs of ears listen
To one loving “set” of lips kissin’
Then you holler: “Keep it up, do!”
When two loving arms are around you
2. There’s a time when there’s joy in living
Oh-o-o-ho, Oh-o-o-ho
That’s when kisses you are a giving
Oh-o-ho, Oh-o-ho, Oh
One loving squeeze tickles you up from your feet
Makes you holler out: “Won’t you please repeat?”
Talk about feelings, this is a treat
Oh-o-o-o-o-ho, Oh-o-o-ho
