Arms Of The One Who Loves You
Xscape · Traces of My Lipstick [1998]
I know you're going, I can't make you stay
I can only let you know I'll love you anyway
And if the road you take, leads to heartbreak
Somewhere down the line
If someone ever hurts you, or treats your heart unkind
(CHORUS)
Chorus:
You just run, to the arms of the one who loves you
You just run to these arms
And these two arms will keep you warm
When rain has filled your heart, never fear
I'm never far, you just run
To the arms of the one who loves you
I want you happy, I want the best for you
And if you have to leave to find your dream,
I hope that dream comes true
But if the world you find brings you hard times
Or someone makes you cry
I'll be there to hold you, I'll be standing by
Chorus: Sing 2x
Oh,my love is strong enough you know,
strong enough to let you go,
but I'll always hold you, inside my heart
And if you should have a change in mind
You can come back anytime
And when you do (and when you do)
You( you can run..........)
(Chorus: Sing til fade of song)
I can only let you know I'll love you anyway
And if the road you take, leads to heartbreak
Somewhere down the line
If someone ever hurts you, or treats your heart unkind
(CHORUS)
Chorus:
You just run, to the arms of the one who loves you
You just run to these arms
And these two arms will keep you warm
When rain has filled your heart, never fear
I'm never far, you just run
To the arms of the one who loves you
I want you happy, I want the best for you
And if you have to leave to find your dream,
I hope that dream comes true
But if the world you find brings you hard times
Or someone makes you cry
I'll be there to hold you, I'll be standing by
Chorus: Sing 2x
Oh,my love is strong enough you know,
strong enough to let you go,
but I'll always hold you, inside my heart
And if you should have a change in mind
You can come back anytime
And when you do (and when you do)
You( you can run..........)
(Chorus: Sing til fade of song)
