These Arms Long To Hold You
These Arms Long To Hold You
The first time we met, I knew you were stress,
Met again, and again, I stopped counting,
Your photo at work, cannot stop glancing,
Promised me, you would not leave, you said yes.
Signed the papers and all within minutes,
Not a couple, a temporary tease,
For the guys in the office, that did please,
Your life seemed always joined to some pivots.
Hope your past, is no longer your present,
After all, you did give me your promise,
Not go church on me, a doubting Thomas,
Chose a path away from me, not was meant.
You had me believe that your words were true,
Promised your word, signed here your signature,
Well, lawbreaker, you are my prisoner,
I am the law, these arms long to hold you.
