Can I sleep in your arms tonight
Lady, it's so cold lying here all alone
And I have no hold to hold on you
And I assure you I'll do you no wrong

Don't know why but the one I love left me
Left me lonely and cold and so weak
And I need someone's arms to hold me till
I'm strong enough to get back on my feet
Can I sleep in your arms tonight
Lady, it's so cold lying here all alone
And I have no hold to hold on you
And I assure you I'll do you no wrong

[ piano ]

Can I sleep in your arms tonight
Lady, it's so cold lying here all alone
And I have no hold to hold on you
And I assure you I'll do you no wrong

[ guitar - harmonica ]
