In My Arms Tonight

The sun was setting and everything was just right,
In my arms she'd be for tonight,
Not just a friend but so much more,
I had been where she's at many times before,
I felt her pain and let her cry,
I held her close trying to understand why,
It wasn't about the intimate times we had spent,
More love and friendship the way it was meant,
Keeping her close til the demons break free,
So she would know she could count on me,
She held me through out the night,
Fell asleep I still held her tight,
No sounds did I try to make,
Her misery I could not awake,
Loving her as if she was mine,
Had to be sure she would be fine,
She called and said she couldn't be alone,
I picked her up after I hung up the phone,
She really had no place to go,
I was her friend she surely did know,
The demons don't have to be bold,
They come into your life and just take hold,
Control you now have not,
That is what the demons have got,
Relax sleep and let your head clear,
Don't worry for you I'll always be there,
Believe it's friendship and not what I can get,
There's a very special place in my heart where you fit,
This is a promise I make to you,
If you ever need a friend you know what to do,
Put some money in the slot and dial the phone,
My voice will tell you your never alone!
Come to me and take a seat,
Love and friendship can never be beat!
