When She Held Me in Her Arms Lyrics
Through a market, I wandered and prayed
That I'd find me a woman I might marry some day
Well, I never dreamed when I prayed that prayer
That the woman I longed for was standing there
When she held me in her arms that night
I held her close, and I held her tight
And I swore that day forth, I'd love her all of me life
When she held me in her arms that night
She smelled of the sweetest lilac skin
And I admit it now it drew me in
Oh, her voice cast a spell I could not disobey
Every word was a river that swept me away
Oh, the market became a more beautiful place:
The flowers more fragrant, and the clothing all lace
And her eyes, oh, her eyes! They begged me to stay
And twenty years later, I've not regretted a day
That I'd find me a woman I might marry some day
Well, I never dreamed when I prayed that prayer
That the woman I longed for was standing there
I held her close, and I held her tight
And I swore that day forth, I'd love her all of me life
When she held me in her arms that night
And I admit it now it drew me in
Oh, her voice cast a spell I could not disobey
Every word was a river that swept me away
The flowers more fragrant, and the clothing all lace
And her eyes, oh, her eyes! They begged me to stay
And twenty years later, I've not regretted a day
