Take Me In Your Arms
Tony Osborne And His Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take me in your arms,
Before you take your love away,
Take me in your arms
Before we part.

Let me thrill again
To your cares of yesterday,
Let me fill again
My hungry heart.

One hour of gladness
That we knew in the past,
One moment's madness,
Although it be the last, hold me fast.

Blind me with your charms,
With all the stardust in the sky,




Take me in your arms,
And then goodbye.

What is this joke : Only the first track is from the LP and after it's disco sound ?!!!!!

@bobdavis4848

No, not only the first track is from the LP; most of the intended album is at the end. See my longer comment in response to S Chak.

@subhrenduchakraborty9440

Wrong tracks are being played... And these are obviously don't sound like 50s rather 80s 90s

@gmoralesmx2

obviously that is, I do not want to play original tapes with their annoying noise of LPs already very worn, I prefer a cleaner sound and if possible mastered thanks for your comment greetings

@subhrenduchakraborty9440

@@gmoralesmx2 ok , but I am not clear.. because then why did you post it under that caption and the track listing ?

@bobdavis4848

@@subhrenduchakraborty9440 S Chak: You are referring only to the additional, inappropriate 80s or 90s sounding music between 2:36 and 46:27, which should not be here. The rest of this post is the accurate music.

@bobdavis4848

@@gmoralesmx2 Gustavo Morales Battagglini: But the subject here is not about clarity and mastering. The mastered music here is of more than just the Tony Osborne and his Orchestra “Hands Across The Table” album. You list song titles that total 31 minutes and 38 seconds. But the music you put for this video is 75 minutes and 50 seconds. The playing and production of inappropriate, uncredited additional music here, from 2:36 through 46:27,  do not sound like 1957 but much more recent. For example, the music starting at about 39 minutes in has a post disco sound.  Also you misspelled parts of the standard song title “I’m Getting Sentimental Over You”  which is clipped at the end.

@@bobdavis4848 Actually after listening the 1st track I didn't go beyond 15 to 20 mins & I discovered that. I did not listen what was there after 46... I guessed it would be same throughout. It is a Hodgepodge
