Hold You In My Arms Lyrics

I actually picked this song to be covered by one of our friends during our wedding ceremony. It's such a beautiful song...As my fiance and I understand it (or what it means to us)...there's a million bad things going on in the world, bad dreams, fears, catastrophe, weapons of war, symptoms of madness. Even though there's all these bad things going on in the world, I can comfort you and you can comfort me...love can conquer all. This is really driven home with me when he sings:

Don't let your eyes refuse to see Don't let your ears refuse to hear Or you ain't never going to shake this sense of sadness

Basically, see me, hear me. I love you and I'm here and as long as we hold on to eachother, life isn't so bad. "Love is a poor mans food." If man doesn't have love then he'll get so bogged down with all the bad in the world. Love is necessary for survival.

Anyways, that's our take on it. I can't wait to hear it sung at our wedding.

@melanieo7 I love every bit of y'alls thoughts! I wish yall many many wonderful years of happiness! And, I pray someday I will find that as well! Go on now, live that happy life and Always Always have at least a dozen smiles a day for each other! Best Wishes, Bev
