Some day my happy arms will hold you
And some day I'll know that moment divine
When all the things you are, are mine

Miles was using more or less that lick in 1945 on the Now's the time and Billie's Bounce recordings with Bird. It's quite difficult during the classic jazz era of the 20's, 30's and 40's to determine which lick came from where. Later it's much easier.
