Dobie Gray Loving Arms Lyrics
If you could see me now
The one who said he rather roll away
The one who said he rather be alone
If you could only see me now

If I could hold you now
Just for one moment if could really make you mine
Just for a while turn the hands of time
If you could only hold you now

I've been too long in the rain, too long in the wind
Taking any comfort that I can
Looking back and longing for the freedom from of chains
Lying in your loving arms again

If you could hear me now
Singing somewhere through the lonely night
Dreaming of the arms that held me tight
If you could only hear me now

I've been too long in the rain, too long in the wind
Taking any comfort that I can
Yes I'm Looking back and longing for the freedom from of chains
And lying in your loving arms again
I can almost feel your loving arms again

[Houdini]

What an underrated masterpiece this is. Dobie Gray just killed it.

[robertcanham]

one of the saddest and beautiful songs ever written and only Dobie Gray can sing it with so much emotion

[graemef]

I found this song by watching Starsky and Hutch. What a song.
I also looked up Dobie Gray, what a man, never married and donated his wealth to good causes on his death in December 2011.
This is just a simply stunning song, executed so beautifully by Dobie.
Just stunning.

[robertpurdy]

This song has been done by a lot of people. This guy, Dobie Gray, he did it right.

[ShantellMoyo]

Who is still here with me 2023 it's still a hit

[PaulVineyard]

Many, many great people have covered this song but Dobie Gray’s version is the best.

[alainfrigon]

that's the definition of music and soul.

[bandpariah]

Dobie Gray was a awesome singer. He did some great songs. Sad he was overlooked and now forgotten about!!!

[murph]

It's so fantastic we have these live performances . Dobiie was and is one of our great ballad singers. Rip soulman

[starletohara]

Gorgeous!I grew up on this song and I still love it!

[robertcudlipp]

Have just come across this superb live rendition of the magic Tom Jans ballad.
Had the total privilege of seeing Dobie in concert in Australia, many years ago.
Have been lucky enough to see most of the world's top acts.
Nobody comes close to Dobie, with his towering vocal performances.
His lack of recognition was an absolute tragedy.

[sadlad]

Now in 2024 I'm still listening to this masterpiece. Really beautiful.

[bisokhize]

when the essence of music was more meaningful then ever.. I miss my father

[wayneroper]

Awesome song thank you Dobie Gray I always seem to be reminded of Dobie singing this song it lives on in my memory and touches me in a very warm and special way.

[robertryan]

Still listening here in Ireland ☘️ 2024. A classic.

[LostNCyberspace]

This guy is phenomenal. A bygone era unfortunately

[Laddie]

Best covers of this song are by Dobie and Elvis. Two great soulful singers.

[lala-gjoo]

[dineoburu]

If you could see me now
The one who said that she'd rather roam
The one who said she'd rather be alone
If you could only see me now

If I could hold you now
Just for a moment, if I could really make you mine
Just for a while, turn back the hands of time
If I could only hold you now

I've been too long in the wind
Too long in the rain
Taking any comfort that I can
Looking back and longing for
The freedom of my chains
And lying in your loving arms again

If you could hear me now
Singing somewhere through the lonely nights
Dreaming of the arms that held me tight
If you could only hear me now

I've been too long in the wind
Too long in the rain
Taking any comfort that I can
Looking back and longing for
The freedom of my chains
And lying in your loving arms again

I've been too long in the wind
Too long in the rain
Taking any comfort that I can
Looking back and longing for
The freedom of my chains
And lying in your loving arms again

I can almost feel your loving arms again
