Arms Around My Life - Janis Ian

ALL THOSE BROKEN PROMISES

ALL THOSE SHATTERED DREAMS

ALL THIS ACHE AND LONELINESS

THAT HIDES INSIDE OF ME

I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG

I’VE FORGOTTEN WHAT IT’S LIKE

TO FEEL SOMEBODY’S ARMS AROUND MY LIFE

ALL THIS LONGING

ALL THIS YEARNING

ALL THIS HOPELESS

TWISTING AND TURNING

I’VE BEEN LONELY FOR SO LONG

I’VE FORGOTTEN WHAT IT’S LIKE

TO FEEL SOMEBODY’S ARMS AROUND MY LIFE

I KNOW YOU’RE OUT THERE, SOMEWHERE

UNDERNEATH THE STARS

AND WHEN YOU FINALLY FIND ME

I’LL KNOW WHO YOU ARE

STAR LIGHT, STAR BRIGHT

HAVEN’T I THE RIGHT

TO FEEL SOMEBODY’S ARMS AROUND MY LIFE

ALL THE BROKEN PROMISES

ALL THE SHATTERED DREAMS

ALL THIS ACHING LONELINESS

WILL FINALLY BE SET FREE

I HAVE WAITED FOR SO LONG

TO REMEMBER WHAT IT’S LIKE

TO FEEL SOMEBODY’S ARMS AROUND MY LIFE
