Here In My Arms 1925

I know a merry place
far from intrusion.
It's just the very place
for you seclusion.
There you can while away
Days as you smile away,
It's not a mile away
but it's new to you.

Here in my arms
It's adorable
It's deplorable
That you were never there
When little lips
are so kissable
It's permissible for me
to ask my share
Next to my heart
It is ever so lonely
I'm holding only air
While here in my arms
It's adorable
It's deplorable
That you were never there

Here in my arms
It's adorable
It's deplorable
That you were never there
When little lips
are so kissable
It's permissible for me
to ask my share
Next to my heart
It is ever so lonely
I'm holding only air
While here in my arms
It's adorable
It's deplorable
That you were never there

I know a pretty place
at your command, sir;
It's not a city place,
yet near at hand, sir;
Here if you loll away
Two hearts can toll away.
You'd never stroll away
if you only knew!

Here in my arms
It's adorable
It's deplorable
That you were never there
When little lips
are so kissable
It's permissible for me
to ask my share
Next to my heart
It is ever so lonely
I'm holding only air
While here in my arms
It's adorable
It's deplorable
That you were never there

Here in my arms
It's adorable
It's deplorable
That you were never there
When little lips
are so kissable
It's permissible for me
to ask my share
Next to my heart
It is ever so lonely
I'm holding only air
While here in my arms
It's adorable
It's deplorable
That you were never there.
