The Shelter Of Your Arms

Sammy Davis Jr. · Definitive Collection [2006]

In this cold world

No matter where I go

The clouds are all the same



To them, I'm just

A pebble in the sand

A face without a name



Nobody gives a hang for

What I say or do but you

And in the shelter of your arms

I find peace and comfort and care

For I am wanted there



In this cold world

I struggle to survive

And sometimes I would fall



You think someone

Would lend a helping hand

They'd sooner see me crawl



But just when life itself

Seems more than I can bear

You're there



And in the shelter of your arms

I find strength and safety

And then I rise and start again



Just give me one good

Reason to go on living

To keep on trying for what

I ask you for what



If not for you and all your

Love to see me through



When times looked bad

The shelter of your arms

Would keep away each fear



And this cold world

Can never get me down

As long as you are near



That's why I pray to God

You'll never say goodbye



And I will know the shelter

Of your arms and your love

Through all of my life

Until the day I die
