Neil Young - When I Hold You In My Arms Lyrics






When I hold you in my arms
it's a breath of fresh air,
when I hold you in my arms
I forget what's out there,
All those people with their faces
walkin' up the street,
They don't have to say a thing
just look around and you see.

New buildings going up,
old buildings coming down,
New signs going up,
old signs coming down,
You gotta hold onto something in this life.

Well the older generation
they got something to say,
But they better say it fast
or get outta the way.
All those gangsters with their crimes
they make it look so good,
We've been blowing up the planet
just like the old neighbourhood.

New buildings going up,
old buildings coming down,
New signs going up,
old signs coming down,
You gotta hold onto something in this life.

If I only had a heart
it would beat all night for you,
If I only had a heart
I would cry the whole day through,
When I hold you in my arms
it's like a breath of fresh air,
when I hold you in my arms
I forget what's out there.

Old heart's going up,
old heart's coming down,
My feelings going up,
my feelings coming down,
You gotta hold onto someone in this life.

When I hold you in my arms
it's a breath of fresh air.
When I hold you in my arms
I forget what's out there.

    New buildings going up
    Old buildings coming down
    New signs going up
    Old signs coming down
    You got to hold onto something in this life



    Well the older generation
    They got something to say
    But they better say it fast
    Or get out of the way
    All those gangsters with their crimes
    They make it look so good
    We've been blowing up the planet
    Just like the old neighbourhood

    Musical genius!! There will never be another Neil. I think my pride gets in the way of me holding on to someone in this life.

  3. R.... S....

    What a great song! The words and music from Neil & the band is simply magical :-D

  4. B.... M....

    I love Neil Young, he is timeless and his words are so near to my heart

  5. O.... ....

    The live performance here is better than the studio version. Drumming is way less clunky and more refined, complementing the overall sound better. Studio version sounds like it was recorded in shed, which it probably was knowing Neil

  6. R.... ....

    One of his best videos, and my favorite song from Are You Passionate.

  7. A.... S....

    I always come back to Neil. Once again he didn't disappoint.

  8. r.... ....

    Great!!

  9. R.... ....

    This live version is better than the album version, and I believe the album version is the best song on the album.

  10. V.... 7....

    It's gonna be a sad day when this man leaves us. Thanks for all the great beautiful music Neil. The best to ever do in my eyes. Rock on friend.

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

    My favorite song from Are You Passionate. None of the reviews I read about the album even mention this song. Oh well.

  12. D.... B....

    Makes me melt!!!

    D.... B....

    Me too Dianna....can't get enough of Neil!

  13. T.... B....

    Oh, this is beautiful.

  14. R.... ....

    I think it's one of Neil's best, overlooked because it was on one of his lesser albums, no doubt.

  15. m.... ....

    Be-au-tiful!!!You

  16. s.... ....

    Goosebumps every time I watch this!  Simply beautiful!

  17. C.... N....

    It's good to hear Neil on the piano..."

  18. J.... S....

    Says more than only words could ever convey.

  19. r.... c....

    Passionate compassion.....fleeting...that guitar.

  20. T.... ....

    A sad world it must be for the 'thumbs down' person.

  21. R.... S....

    Beautiful and romantic. I saw Neil with Crazy Horse a couple of days ago in Stockholm. An evening in our capital. Thanxx guys :-)

  29. M.... L....

    Yep, still as wonderful as I thought it was. . . . 

  30. E.... U....

    When I hold you in my arms, it's a breath of fresh air. . . one more time.

  32. M.... L....

    Okay - once again. You've gotta hold on to somethin' in this life.

  33. M.... L....

    I must listen to this song one more time.

  34. e.... e....
