Linger In My Arms A Little Longer, Baby
Louis Armstrong · Other Songs - Louis Armstrong
A little longer, baby
Hold me tight
While my love for you
Is growing stronger, baby
It ain't right to say goodnight
Though it may be getting
Past your dream time, baby
Don't think twice
Just linger in my arms
A little longer, baby
'Cause it's so nice, it's, oh, so nice
Linger in my arms
A little longer, baby
Hold me tight
While my love for you
Is growing stronger, baby
It ain't right to say goodnight
Though it may be getting
Past your dream time, baby
Don't think twice
Linger, linger, baby
'Cause it's, oh, so nice
'Cause it's, oh, so nice
