Can I Sleep In Your Arms?

Can I Sleep in Your Arms?



Can I sleep in your arms, tonight, lady?
It's so cold lyin' here all alone.
An' I have no hold to hold on you.
An', I assure you, I'll do you no wrong.

Don't know why, but the one I love left me.
Left me lonely an' cold an' so weak.
And I need someone's arms to hold me.
Till I'm strong enough to get back on my feet.

Can I sleep in your arms, tonight, lady?
It's so cold lyin' here all alone.
An' I have no hold to hold on you.
An', I assure you, I'll do you no wrong.

I have always been a huge fan of Willie Nelson’s music and this song has a significant place in my grief journey. I cannot believe that the first time I heard this particular song until after Carol’s death. It was one of those profound moments that I will never forget.

As the third anniversary of Carol’s death closes in on me, I find myself turning to music for comfort. Music has brought me joy and comfort since my childhood. I would do almost anything to go back and relive those years, kinda a “do-over” but reality sinks in and I know that just ain’t a happenin’ thing. Oh well, I can dream.

For anyone reading this, I am just rambling about some of the random garbage running through my widow brain. I am determined to toss my “stuff” onto this blog and if it silly who cares if makes me feel better. I feel better.
