Can I sleep in your arms, tonight, lady?

It's so cold lyin' here all alone.

An' I have no hold to hold on you.

An', I assure you, I'll do you no wrong.



Don't know why, but the one I love left me.

Left me lonely an' cold an' 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 lyin' here all alone.

An' I have no hold to hold on you.

An', I assure you, I'll do you no wrong.



Instrumental break.



Can I sleep in your arms, tonight, lady?

And I have no hold to hold on you.

Instrumental close.
