I'll Hold You In My Heart
by Eddy Arnold, Hal Horton, and Tommy Dilbeck
"I recorded this in
1947, and it was a very successful song. I used to get
letters from mamas and sweethearts. It was a universal
kind of song, because it said something everybody could
identify with. A mama could say it about her own son
away from home, 'I'll hold you in my heart till I can
hold you in my arms,' or lovers could use the same
expression. I wish I could find another one like that."
—Eddy Arnold
I'll Hold You In My Heart
I'll hold you in my heart till I can hold you in my arms
Like you've never been held before
I'll think of you each day, and then I'll dream the
night away
Till you are in my arms once more.
The stars up in the sky know the reason why
I feel so blue when I'm away from you
I'll hold you in my heart till I can hold you in my arms
So, darling, please wait for me.
