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.
