"You're In My Arms" (Anne Shelton, 1941)

"You're In My Arms" (Anne Shelton, 1941)

  

An unlikely and mesmerizing Beguine--in the Brit style. Anne Shelton's dusky voice teamed with the Bert Ambrose Orchestra make this a gem worth rediscovering... Written by Jack Popplewell and Michael Carr (Recorded in November, 1941). YOU'RE IN MY ARMS You're in my arms and I thrill to your touch while we're dancing, You look as sweet as the music the violins play, I'm so foolish to cling to a thing that's no longer entrancing, You're in my arms and a million miles away. You're in my arms but you heart's far away while we're dancing, Lost in a world of its own where I've no right to stray, Why do I still pretend there's no end to our lovely romancing? You're in my arms and a million miles away. Wasn't it yesterday you whispered "I love you so"? Or, was it yesterday a million years ago? You're in my arms and I gaze in those eyes while we're dancing, Deep in your heart I can see that our love's had its day. So, I'll just say "Farewell", it was sweet--it was swell--while it lasted, Bring down the curtain, we've come to the end of the play, You and your love are a million miles away...
