Chris Norman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Frozen tears
It was hard through the years
I'll never give up
Never one of my dreams.
Deep inside is my love still alive
When I'm in love it'll be for better
I gave you my heart for ever and ever.
No arms can ever hold you more than I do
No man can ever love you
No
It's true.
No arms can ever hold you more than I do
You came to me from heaven
Girl
It's true.
And if I ever lose your love
If I ever lose your heart
Oh baby
I'm dying for your love.
Baby
Now I'm alone and I try to be strong
But my baby
I cry
Silent tears without pride.
And I can't hold on to the feeling that's gone
And there's nothing to lose
'Cause I'm playing the fool.
When I'm in love it'll be for better
I gave you my heart for ever and ever.
No arms can ever hold you more than I do
And l ever lose your smile
And if I ever lose your heart
Everybody need someone to love
And I say,
No arms can ever hold you more than I do
