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)
