Story Behind The Song
I wrote this song when my wife was many miles away from me for a period of time. I missed her very much and I was capturing photos in my mind of the amazing times we have shared together. I started to think about this on a higher level and began to explore the concept that your mind is the greatest photo album you could possible have. No matter who you are, male or female, we all reach back into our memories and pluck out images of that special person in your life. This also applies to lost love as we can pine for somebody that is no longer with us and literally have a deep desire to hold them in our arms once again.
Song Description
This is a song about yearning and heartache. It's relevant to a love lost scenario and also a situation where your soul mate is spending time many miles away from you. The process of missing somebody so much can manifest itself in many different ways. Your emotion takes control as you search your mind for memories and images of that person. Just as you would an old photograph album.

Lyrics
IN MY ARMS TONIGHT
1st Verse
As you move, right through my mind
Memories, they start to find
Empty space, that's left between
A million miles, but I'll always see
Chorus
Pictures of you
And the way we were that night
So true
Now you're out of my sight
I don't know what to do
I need you in my arms tonight
I need you in my arms tonight
2nd Verse
So I try to put aside
All the thoughts I can't abide
How far away you seem to be
A million miles, but I'll always see
Chorus
Pictures of you
And the way we were that night
So true
Now you're out of my sight
I don't know what to do
I need you in my arms tonight
I need you in my arms tonight
Middle Eight
I keep the lights on in the night
In case your face appears
Who's to say that I'm not right?
Each time I pray to hear
That maybe you are near
Chorus
Pictures of you
And the way we were that night
So true
Now you're out of my sight
Pictures of you
And the way we were that night
So true
Now you're out of my sight
Pictures of you
And the way we were that night
So true
Now you're out of my sight
I don't know what to do
I need you in my arms tonight
I need you in my arms tonight
