I Got Lost in His Arms

Irving Berlin · Other Songs - Irving Berlin

Don't ask me just how it happened?

I wish I knew

I can't believe that it's happened

And still it's true

I got lost in his arms and I had to stay

It was dark in his arms and I lost my way

From the dark came a voice and it seemed to say

There you go, there you go

How I felt, as I fell, I just can't recall

But his arms held me fast and it broke the fall

And I said to my heart as it foolishly

Kept jumping all around I got lost

But look what I found

I Got Lost in His Arms
