Lyrics Sammy Davis, Jr.

Sammy Davis, Jr.

The Shelter Of Your Arms

In this cold world

No matter where I go

The clouds are all the same

To them, I'm just

A pebble in the sand

A face without a name

Nobody gives a hang for

What I say or do but you

And in the shelter of your arms

I find peace and comfort and care

For I am wanted there

In this cold world

I struggle to survive

And sometimes I would fall

You think someone

Would lend a helping hand

They'd sooner see me crawl

But just when life itself

Seems more than I can bear

You're there

And in the shelter of your arms

I find strength and safety

And then I rise and start again

Just give me one good

Reason to go on living

To keep on trying for what

I ask you for what

If not for you and all your

Love to see me through

When times looked bad

The shelter of your arms

Would keep away each fear

And this cold world

Can never get me down

As long as you are near

That's why I pray to God

You'll never say goodbye

And I will know the shelter

Of your arms and your love

Through all of my life

Until the day I die
