Mathis, Johnny - Lovin' Arms Lyrics






If you could seback the he me now
The one who said that he'd rather roam
The one who said he'd rather be alone
If you could only see me now
If I could hold you now
Just for a moment
If I could really make you mine
Just for a while
Turn back the hands of time
If I could only hold you now
I've been too long in the wind
Too long in the rain
Taking any comfort that I can
Looking back and longing for the freedom of my chance
At lying in your lovin' arms again
If you could hear me now
Singing somewhere through the lonely nights
Dreaming of the arms that held me tight
If you could only hear me now
I've been too long in the wind
Too long in the rain
Taking any comfort that I can
Looking for the freedom of my chance
At lying in your lovin' arms again
I can almost feel your lovin' arms again

    Love IT!!!

    @lenoremewton I realized, after I posted an answer to your comment, that I sent the message to myself instead of you. So sorry. Yesterday was a long day and I was very tired when I wrote it.

  19. l.... ....

    @luvmusic581 I heard an interview with JM recently and he mentioned that he does not sing some of his earlier recordings because of the upper range notes. I think "Maria" was one of them. But everything he sings is perfection. You are right, commitment is critical and common sense.

  20. l.... ....

    @luvmusic581 - wonderful early training and commitment to his voice- most singers do not have - after a certain age- that kind of commitment. Also- his own words- he loves to sing- so probably like his golf, he's meticulous about making this possible. We're all the lucky beneficiaries:) . enjoy.

  21. l.... ....

    Johnny's voice sounds wonderful on this recording. Not too many vocalists, at age 75, can sing the way he does. I studied voice for about two years and was told by my teacher that vocal ability starts to decline after age 60. Apparently not so for JM.

  22. l.... ....

    @mcoble84 - he can sing anything- and always brings his inimitable style to any song he touches. Enjoy.

  23. e.... w....

    Only Johnny can make me enjoy country.

  24. l.... ....

    @sweetsandy43 - i'm so glad people are enjoying it so. You're very welcome:)

  25. S.... R....

    My favourite from this album - thanks for posting

  26. l.... ....

    @mathismagic37 ;-) So glad! was a pleasure to put together -enjoy!

  27. l.... ....

    @LawrenceRReedRyd777 - i'd like to think Johnny could see this- but I highly doubt it- Glad you go to see him at the Greek Theatre that must've been quite the experience- and your artistry. Hopefully he has your portrait

  28. l.... ....

    @serpentinecreature Johnny's latest CD, Let It Be Me, Mathis In Nashville, is a completely country focused CD- the songs. several are on YT, are beautiful sung through JM's signature emotive style. He has such versatility. Enjoy:)

  29. s.... ....

    Is this sort of "country western style"? First time hearing it,peaceful,easy ridin'! Johnny always does it right.Thank you.

  30. l.... ....

    @mimibella12 thank you!:) I dont' see how he could stop- he just keeps thrilling people wherever he goes. Lucky us. Enjoy.

  31. m.... ....

    Beautiful - I'm convinced that Johnny will sing forever! Thank you.

  32. l.... ....

    @jmsgirlger1 - you're welcome, Geraldine, very glad people are enjoying this so much- it's a lovely song. Another Mathis fan put the same song up earlier in the week- a lovely visual video . Johnny's interpretation is inspiring.

  33. j.... ....

    How lovely...this is a beautiful song...thank you, Lenore.

  34. l.... ....

    @FannylowInc - the whole CD is of country songs- he really does a beautiful job- frankly he can sing or has sung- just about anything- he's so versatile. so glad you like it:) x

  35. l.... ....

    @sweetsandy43 - it is really a heartfelt song- as I said above- as always - Johnny's simplicity brings so much depth. enjoy.

  36. l.... ....

    @guitargod6997 - you're right that Alison is Johnny's partner on "Let It Be Me" the title track- but this song has no duet partner named- however i do think it's Vince Gil. Either way- it's all wonderful. thank you. enjoy.

  37. S.... R....

    Beautiful, beautiful song, love it

  38. l.... ....

    @gemeyes2 - sounds like the song "It had to be you..."- nice, Jane. And true. enjoy.

  39. l.... ....

    @wendywoo52 - thank you, Wendy, you're welcome .So glad you like it. We all love 'capturing' Johnny in one format or another! enjoy.

  40. g.... ....

    It is YOU Johnny, It's always been YOU..

  41. w.... ....

    wonderful, thank you so much and what lovely pictures too, thanks, Wendy x

  42. l.... ....

    @guitargod6997 - as you say- Johnny brings us right into the song - from his heart to ours. I believe,yes, that is Vince Gil. Not sure why you do not see his name on the CD- but they sound wonderful together - a very sweet pairing in those parts of the song.. enjoy.

  43. l.... ....

    @Hetty4u - you're welcome- it is a really a very special song - and i've listened to others sing it- but absolutely no one brings the real emotion to it like Johnny. .

  44. l.... ....

    @mathismagic37 - i'm so glad you like it, Carol! you're very welcome. It was a joy to make- I appreciate your lovely words. Take care x

  45. J.... D....

    Lovely, lovely song exquisitely sung by the man who makes you feel the heart and the soul in every note.

    Is he singing his own harmony or is that Vince Gill I hear? Tonight I just heard this song for the first time and had to transcribe it for the classic beauty of this country ballad.

    It does not get much sweeter, nor much better than this. Wonder

  46. H.... H....

    Beautiful song, Thank You very much

  47. l.... ....

    to Readmereadyou (i erased your comment by mistake! so here it is again) --I was just about to sign off and got this nice surprise. What a beautiful song and sung as only Johnny can sing it. Of course, I own it. It's a lovely album. Your video is wonderful. You always capture his expressions so perfectly. It was also nice to see Gil in the video and you captured him as well. Your work is lovely. Thanks for sharing.....

  48. l.... ....

    @ReadMeReadYou - thanks very much, Angela. Appreciate it. It is a lovely song. The photos of Johnny and Gil are very nice shots- seems like they are singing the duet together!
