Dobie Gray - Loving Arms Lyrics






If you could see me now
The one who said he rather roll away
The one who said he rather be alone
If you could only see me now

If I could hold you now
Just for one moment if could really make you mine
Just for a while turn the hands of time
If you could only hold you now

I've been too long in the rain, too long in the wind
Taking any comfort that I can
Looking back and longing for the freedom from of chains
Lying in your loving arms again

If you could hear me now
Singing somewhere through the lonely night
Dreaming of the arms that held me tight
If you could only hear me now

I've been too long in the rain, too long in the wind
Taking any comfort that I can
Yes I'm Looking back and longing for the freedom from of chains
And lying in your loving arms again
I can almost feel your loving arms again

    No comparison...this is the Definitive version.

  10. n.... ....

    very nice, but i think i like the elvis version.

  11. G.... K....

    Just love this song written by Tom Jans. Remember slow dancing to it over and over again. IMO: this is the best version. Dobie Gray puts his heart into.

  12. S.... P....

    This was my dad's favorite song he passed away after a long battle with diabetes. You are at peace now dad

    S.... P....

    😔 so sorry

    S.... P....

    @Anja hill thank you friend

  13. S.... 1....

    Ndise ndikumbule utata wam

  14. n.... n....

    nice love song

  15. B.... B....

    One of my favourite songs reminds me of the time I started my teaching career

  16. E.... T....

    "We Had It All" version from the 1979 Infinity album titled "Dobie Gray" and pictured here would be welcome. Thanks

    E.... T....

    'We had it all' is on another level

  17. M.... K....

    This is one powerful song and Dobie really delivers the way it...nice arrangement as well. Dobie could really sell a song. He was so good. Hard to believe this was on the same album as “Drift Away”. Michael 2019

  18. G.... M....

    This Song reminds me of my dad who past away few weeks ago

    G.... M....

    Sorry about your father.
    Ke rata music o thata❤

  19. N.... N....

    Sunday soul sessions

  20. M.... ....

    Thanks Rhett. Thank you Dobie.

  21. s.... ....

    Who else is here because of Ear Biscuits?

    s.... ....

    Well I already knew the other song Link mentioned very well, but I never heard of this one. Yet another reason I love those guys, they always introduce me to new music I didn't know about lol.

  22. E.... A....

    I use to listen to this a lot when me and girlfriend broke up

    E.... A....

    Another one like that is a country song called I'd be better off in a pine box by Doug Stone.  That one kind of hits you in the heart too.

  23. d.... M....

    I knew this song from my father while I was still young .....I miss u paa hope u rested by peace cause is being long without you 😑😑

  24. N.... S....

    Is this the original

  25. C.... V....

    I have this whole album on vinyl!!!
    Good vibes!!!

  26. k.... h....

    Learn something new everyday (at 70). I thought the title was Freedom of My Chains and happened upon Loving Arms. Like so many artists of that era, Dobie Gray was taken too early and too much potential lost.

    k.... h....

    I believe he was one of the most underrated singers ever.  He had such a strong soulful voice.

  27. J.... h....

    Dobie's version of this song is the best, but it is just a beautiful song. Any version of it is great. I have 4 versions of it. Elvis, Dixie Chicks, Dobie Gray and Etta James. Etta's is the next best but Dobies is great.

    J.... h....

    It's such a great song and it is hard to believe it only made it to #61 on the Billboard chart.  Dobie sadly never had a #1 record.  Drift Away went to #5 and that was his biggest success.

  28. T.... S....

    Just Got From The Past Even Though I An In The Present!!!👌Dankie Mr Gray

  29. M.... M....

    Great song by a great singer. We all have that moments of " If you could see me now"

  30. B.... S....

    2019🙋‍♀️

  31. W.... Y....

    Timeless music....this song still goes in DEEEEP!!!Wish i was born in their era

  32. J.... F....

    Listened to this to compare with Elvis, both versions beautiful,both bring tears 😢😢😢

  33. W.... R....

    My best

  34. Z.... W....

    2019 still here, dis song reminds me of my late mother. She loved it

  35. I.... I....

    My sweet Alysa died in my arms in the car we were in. We were on the run from my parents as they didn’t want us together. I didn’t know it but she had taken enough percs to kill her after she found out my parents had a warrant issued for us. Man we drove and listened to music across Kansas. This song came on when I realized she was gone. It was Feb 1987 and we were both 16. Still can’t handle this song but I come here on our anniversary. Rest easy my lady.

  36. o.... n....

    I'm young but this song is woooowwww to me

  37. L.... M....

    I wish i could find a woman my age that liked older music like this. There is no feeling in todays music. All sing for greed.

    "Within the heart of every stray lies the singular desire to be loved" ♥

    There is a moment in every warm-blooded soul where it looks around its world, and questions themselves; “Which way is home?”
    The curse of the loner is, they'll keep walking past it. Will

  83. M.... L....

    Ditto to your comments Robert D, Toby Mc. Sung with heart and soul . Pity he passed without achieving more fame and accolades he so richly deserved. At least his music lives on in the minds of people who appreciate class and not bullshit music.

  94. L.... W....

    After 40 years... still so beautiful...brings back all the memories of long gone past...

    L.... W....

    I actually heard this song 44 years ago in the PI. Sooooooooooooo many good memories. ;-)

    L.... W....
