Holding You In My Arms
by Ben Scales

Walkin' down the street with my baby, Holding you in my arms. Oh, the people we'll meet As we walk down the street With me holdin' you in my arms.

Holding you in my arms. [2x] Oh, the people we'll meet, As we walk down the street, With me holding you in my arms.

Here's a serious man in a suit. He's too busy to notice something cute. But as he hurries by, I catch a twinkle in his eye, As I'm holding you in my arms.

Holding you in my arms. [2x] Oh, the folks we'll get to know, As we're going for a stroll, With me holding you in my arms.

How 'bout this couple over here. They've been together fifty-seven years. We know their kids are grown And have kids of their own, Cuz I'm holding you in my arms.

Holding you in my arms. [2x] Oh, life is so sweet, From your view of the street, As I'm holdin you in my arms.

Oh, I could walk like this for miles, Where everyone we meet, smiles. And you're just glad to be The one they're glad to see, As I'm holding you in my arms.

Holding you in my arms. [2x] It's plain to see, that God has smiled on me, As I'm holding you in my arms.

There's a poor young man, Leaned up against a garbage can. And as we hurry by, I catch a teardrop in his eye, As I'm holding you in my arms.

Holding you in my arms. [2x] It's plain to see, that God has smiled on me, When I'm holding you in my arms.

Oh, I'm the best I'll ever be, When you're holding on to me, And I'm holding you in my arms.
