Oh my Lord, is it a miracle? That I've fallen down your river twice First it was your presence Now it is the gift of the beauty of your favorite flower Am I dancing with a Kentucky rose Only few have ever got to hold? There's a mystery to her being That has drawn me into the full ground of angelic flow Holding you close to me tonight Holding you close to me tonight Forever in my arms is where you'll always be I have drift into the heaven realm For the marvel of your moonlit glow Oh darling, don't you know You ain't gotta do much just to be the one I want to hold? There's no words that I could ever say To make clearer 'bout the way I feel Still your beauty fills the silence of a thousand years With my shoulder rubbed up against your face Holding you close to me tonight Holding you close to me tonight Forever in my arms is where you'll always be Oh honey, won't you come on down To the river where we both we're found? On the shore I see reflections of a painted scene To hearts that want to beat as one Won't you tell me about your fallen stars And the one's that I ain't never seen Well, I know you ain't a wisher But just pull one down and make it for you and me Holding you close to me tonight Holding you close to me tonight Forever in my arms is where you'll always be Holding you close to me tonight Holding you close to me tonight Forever in my arms is where you'll always be Forever in my arms is where you'll always be Forever in my arms is where you'll always be
