Send "Heavenly Arms" Ringtone to Cell

Heavenly arms reach out to hold me
Heavenly arms entice you to dance
In a world of ill will, the dancers are still
Heavenly arms reach out to me

Heavenly arms, soft as a love song
Heavenly arms bring a kiss to your ear
In a world that seems mad, all the dancers seem sad
Heavenly arms reach out to me

Sylvia, Sylvia, Sylvia, Sylvia,

Heavenly arms come to my rescue
Only a woman can love a man
In a world full of hate, love should never wait
Heavenly arms reach out to me

Heavenly arms, strong as a sunset
Heavenly arms, pure as the rain
Lovers stand warned of the worlds impending storm
Heavenly arms reach out to me

Sylvia, Sylvia, Sylvia, Sylvia,

Send "Heavenly Arms" Ringtone to Cell

    General Comment:This one's dedicated to Lou's then wife Sylvia Morales. She also designed the cover album. Lou mentions Sylvia in the opening track too: "My House"

    General Comment:Hmmm...interesting, seems to be continued in that one part in Sweet Jane, when he says, "Heavenly wine and roses...."
