Story Behind The Song

This is a song written when my wife was away visiting her family on the other side of the World. I really missed her and started to create images in my mind of the wonderful times we have shared together. Although the vocals are sung by a female the topic could apply to either sex. Lyrically, this could also be interpreted as a heartbreak song with the protagonist yearning for his true love to return once again.

Song Description

The concept of the human mind being able to re-create either a time, a place, or a moment is quite an extraordinary feat. We use this emotional photo album as a way to either fuel a particularly sad situation or alternately we can use this as a way of making ourselves smile as we capture those special moments of our life.

Lyrics

IN MY ARMS TONIGHT

1st Verse

As you move, right through my mind
Memories, they start to find
Empty space, that's left between
A million miles, but I'll always see

Chorus

Pictures of you
And the way we were that night
So true
Now you're out of my sight
I don't know what to do
I need you in my arms tonight
I need you in my arms tonight




2nd Verse

So I try to put aside
All the thoughts I can't abide
How far away you seem to be
A million miles, but I'll always see

Chorus

Pictures of you
And the way we were that night
So true
Now you're out of my sight
I don't know what to do
I need you in my arms tonight
I need you in my arms tonight

Middle Eight

I keep the lights on in the night
In case your face appears
Who's to say that I'm not right?
Each time I pray to hear
That maybe you are near


Chorus

Pictures of you
And the way we were that night
So true
Now you're out of my sight
Pictures of you
And the way we were that night
So true
Now you're out of my sight
Pictures of you
And the way we were that night
So true
Now you're out of my sight
I don't know what to do
I need you in my arms tonight
I need you in my arms tonight
