Píseň: Theme From Houseboat (Almost In Your Arms)

Interpret:
Sam Cooke
Album:
Try A Little Love
You're here, that moment's near,
 I'm almost in your arms
 Tonight, the mood is right,
 I'm almost in your arms


 One sigh, one word
 and I will rush to your embrace
 Say that certain word,
 sigh that certain sigh
 And with all my heart,
 to your arms I'll fly
 It's strange, how we are changed
 by things that seem so small
 One look can write a book,
 one touch can say it all


 We know those nights alone,
 and now we found our way
 I'm almost in your arms,
 nearly in your arms to stay


 {repeat first and last verse)
