lyrics

I would like to call your bed my home
It’s the only place that I feel safe and not alone
Wrapped up in your arms
Wrapped up in your arms

I love it when you’re taking care of me
You lock the doors turn out the lights and climb in next to me and
Wrapped up in your arms

My mother used to sing me sound asleep
Pray to the Lord and ask for angels for my soul to keep me
Wrapped up in your arms

Now there’s only one right way to say goodnight
It’s underneath the covers with you holding me so tightly
Wrapped up in your arms

So tell me baby how has it come to this?
Without a look without a touch without a kiss
You turn your back on me and I cease to exist
You send me out into the night with a goodnight oh how ironic can it get?
And there aren’t any niceties to couch it in
You know you’ve ruined me forever sleeping alone
Without a home, without being
Wrapped up in your arms

This is not the way that bedtime stories end
Where the children find their way back home and parents tuck them into bed
Wrap them in their arms
And kiss them on the head
And turn out the lights
Please don’t turn out the lights
