"You're In My Arms" (Anne Shelton, 1941)

An unlikely and mesmerizing Beguine--in the Brit style. Anne Shelton's dusky voice teamed with the Bert Ambrose Orchestra make this a gem worth rediscovering...

Written by Jack Popplewell and Michael Carr (Recorded in November, 1941).

YOU'RE IN MY ARMS

You're in my arms and I thrill to your touch while we're dancing,
You look as sweet as the music the violins play,
I'm so foolish to cling to a thing that's no longer entrancing,
You're in my arms and a million miles away.

You're in my arms but you heart's far away while we're dancing,
Lost in a world of its own where I've no right to stray,
Why do I still pretend there's no end to our lovely romancing?
You're in my arms and a million miles away.

Wasn't it yesterday you whispered "I love you so"?
Or, was it yesterday a million years ago?

You're in my arms and I gaze in those eyes while we're dancing,
Deep in your heart I can see that our love's had its day.
So, I'll just say "Farewell", it was sweet--it was swell--while it lasted,
Bring down the curtain, we've come to the end of the play,
You and your love are a million miles away...
