Loving Arms - Lyrics - Darden Smith

Darden Smith is an Austin-based singer-songwriter known for his lyrics and for weaving folk and Americana influences with rock, pop, and the musical roots of his home state. His debut album, "Native Soil," was released in 1986. His fourteenth album, Love Calling, came out August 27, 2013. Over the past decade, Smith has developed two programs, The Be An Artist Program and SongwritingWith . Both use collaborative songwriting to work with groups ranging from children in the classroom to soldiers returning home from combat. Smith established SongwritingWith:Soldiers as a separate non-profit organization in 2012. In a recent presentation for TEDxAustin called "Fearing Your Gift," Darden Smith discusses what led him to these projects and how, going forward, creativity is central to everything he does.

Half of this morning and most of last night I've been taking tally on the last years of my life I've been pretty righteous, but God only knows A couple of calls were not even close At least my indiscretions were sweeter than most Oh, those loving arms Those sweet, sweet loving arms Count the bad, count the good And all I wouldn't change even if I could I used to stumble back when I was young And I'm still stumbling but now it's a lot more fun And I'm falling, I'm falling, I flew too close to the sun To get your... Loving arms, your loving arms, your loving arms Your sweet, sweet loving arms To get to your loving arms, your loving arms, Your loving arms Your sweet, sweet loving arms Empty pockets, motel beds Airline tickets, words better left unsaid Strange kisses get the ghost What I miss is what she'll never know Every day another mountain, another mountain to climb To get to your... Loving arms, your loving arms, your loving arms Your sweet, sweet loving arms To get to your loving arms, your loving arms, Your loving arms Your sweet, sweet loving arms And the world could be perfect Even if we are not If everything is forgiven Even if not forgot And when the morning comes a-breaking And I call out your name My heart will be running, oh running to get to your Loving arms, your loving arms, your loving arms Your sweet, sweet loving arms To get to your loving arms, your loving arms, Your loving arms Your sweet, sweet loving arms... To get to your loving arms, your loving arms, Your loving arms Your sweet, sweet loving arms...
