Stay in My Arms (Arr. for Voice, Piano, Guitar, Bass, Drums and Strings by R. Mounsey)

In this great city

Where will I find one peaceful, pretty spot

Where noise is not?

A bit of quiet,

Untouched by all the hectic riot

Would help things a lot.

Our tempo's automatic –

Science reveals.

Our pace is acrobatic –

Life moves on wheels

Here's my admission –

I haven't very much ambition

For the mad existence of our time.

Let's just be old fashioned.

Let's just be lazy.

The world's gone crazy

So stay in my arms.

My most dear; come close dear.

Don't be afraid to.

My hands were made to

Shield you from alarm.

What's all the shooting for?

Where are they rushing?

Whom are they rooting for?

Whom are they crushing?

Forget them or let them

Grow dim and hazy.

The world's gone crazy

So stay in my arms.

Let's lie here

Nearby here, midfield and daisy.

The world's gone crazy

So stay in my arms.

While millions of millions

Go wildly prancing,

I'll be romancing a song of your charms.

They dance a dance that kills –

Mad and defenseless.

Such jumping Jacks and Jills.

It's all so senseless.

I love you.

You love me.

That much is plain, dear.

The world's insane, dear:

So stay in my arms.
