With Your Arms Around Me…
With your arms around me
I no longer feel afraid
I smile each time I think about
The memories we’ve made.
♥
With your arms around me
I no longer cry in pain
I wipe away the tears I’ve shed
And start to live again.
♥
With your arms around me
Through rhyme and note and song,
The distance that’s between us
Has made our friendship strong.
♥
With your arms around me
The world is opened wide
I smile at each new morning
With love and hope inside.
