Can I sleep in your arms tonight, mister
It's so cold lying here all alone
And I have no hold to hold on you
I assure you I'll do you no wrong

Don't know why but the one I love left me
Left me lonely and cold and so weak
And I need someone's arms to hold me
'Til I'm strong enough to get back on my feet

Can I sleep in your arms tonight, mister
It's so cold lying here all alone
And I have no hold to hold on you
I assure you I'll do you no wrong

I haven't smiled since you left me
'Cause a smile somehow seems out of place
And I just need two lips to kiss me
Then I can smile again and I can show my face

Can I sleep in your arms tonight, mister
It's so cold lying here all alone
And I have no hold to hold on you
I assure you I'll do you no wrong

Can I sleep in your arms tonight, mister
