Nelson, Willie - Can I Sleep In Your Arms Lyrics






Can I sleep in your arms tonight lady it's so cold lying here all alone
And I have no hold to hold on you and I assure you I'll do you no wrong

Don't know why but the one I love left me left me lonely and cold and so weak
And I need someone's arms to hold me till I'm strong enough to get back on my feet
Can I sleep in your arms...
[piano]
Can I sleep in your arms...
[guitar - harmonica]

    Those with big hearts get left cause they have no fear to love by far they, in the end are the stronger ones.

    Willie seemed a little weak when I saw him back at the end of winter in Savannah. He was able to sing excellent, but he had a little trouble coming up to the mike. Hopeful he has regained his strength.

    --------------------- <3 -------------------
    Can I sleep in your arms tonight, lady
    It's so cold lying here all alone
    And I have no hold to hold on you
    And I assure you I'll do you no wrong
    .
    Don't know why but the one I love left me
    Left me lonely and cold and so weak
    And I need someone's arms to hold me
    Till I'm strong enough to get back on my feet
    .
    Can I sleep in your arms tonight, lady
    It's so cold lying here all alone
    And I have no hold to hold on you
    And I assure you I'll do you no wrong

    Can I sleep in your arms tonight lady
    It's so cold lying here all alone
    And I have no hold to hold on you
    And I assure you I'll do you no wrong
