I'm almost in your arms

Tonight, the mood is right,

I'm almost in your arms

One sigh, one word

and I will rush to your embrace

Say that certain word,

sigh that certain sigh

And with all my heart,

to your arms I'll fly

It's strange, how we are changed

by things that seem so small

One look can write a book,

one touch can say it all

We know those nights alone,

and now we found our way

I'm almost in your arms,

nearly in your arms to stay
