Lyrics

Heaven (In Your Arms Tonight) Words and music by Alan Gillis

Verse 1
Did I die in your arms tonight?
This feels like Heaven to me
Like Heaven should be

When I lie in your arms tonight
Oh won't you hold me once more
Just like before?

When you breathe your whisper
Warm words in my ear
Words of love, when we are near
Will I die in your arms
When I'm in your arms tonight?

Bridge
Don't ask me to reason
I can't find the words to explain
How you drive me insane
I'm out of control and
Into the flame
In the heat of each moment
I'm calling your name

Verse 2
Guitar solo (1/2 verse)
The brush of your lips
On my face when I'm holding you near
Oh what a feeling!
I could die in your arms
When I'm in your arms tonight


Repeat verse 1

Will I die in your arms
When I'm in your arms tonight?

I could die in your arms
When I'm in your arms tonight
