Music by henry mancini and words by jay livingston and ray evans

From the movie "what did you do in the war, daddy?" starring james coburn

(peak billboard position # 49 in 1966)

If i could hold you in the arms of love tonight
I'd never let you go
As the hours go by i'd show you why we've waited for this
As two lovers whisper low

If i could feel that magic kiss your lips invite
Imagine the joys i'd know
The day has died away, let's find a hideaway
And share the promise of a new tomorrow
In the arms of love tonight

<instrumental interlude>

The day has died away, let's find a hideaway
And share the promise of a new tomorrow
In the arms of love tonight

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
