this is one of our favorite songs ever of all time, by one of our favorite artists ever of all time. if we could ever be sung to sleep, this would be the song, noooo question.
to us it’s about how the only thing that matters in real love is what a boy and a girl feel alone in a room together… face to face, heart to heart, soul to soul. nothing else matters. not her fears, not his worries, not time or circumstance or money, not what other people think, not even the world around them falling apart… just the truth that lives and breathes in a pure, faithful, and honest love… and that in his arms is the safest place she could ever be.
“Place your hands on my face, Close my eyes and say, Love is a poor man’s food…” ♥ ♥ ♥
Hold You In My Arms
Ray LaMontagne
When you came to me with your bad dreams and your fears
It was easy to see that you’d been crying
Seems like everywhere you turn catastrophe it reigns
But who really profits from the dying
I could hold you in my arms
I could hold you forever
I could hold you in my arms
I could hold you in my arms forever
When you kissed my lips with my mouth so full of questions
It’s my worried mind that you quiet
Place your hands on my face
Close my eyes and say
Love is a poor man’s food
With no proper side
I could hold you in my arms
I could hold you forever
And I could hold you in my arms
I could hold you forever
So now we see how it is
This fist begets the spear
Weapons of war
Symptoms of madness
Don’t let your eyes refuse to see
Don’t let your ears refuse to hear
Or you ain’t never going to shake this sense of sadness
I could hold you in my arms
I could hold on forever
And I could hold you in my arms
I could hold forever
