When Two Loving Arms Are Around You

A popular song from 1910.
Words and music by Milton Ager.

Laurence (Milton’s nephew) says: “These are really nice renditions of very interesting songs.  I really like his 16 year old song about “Two Loving Arms”–he was quite a charming little guy it seems.  And those Oh-oo-ho! sequences seem very original.”

Lyrics

  1. There are many kinds of sensations
    Oh-o-o-ho, Oh-o-o-ho
    Which awaken queer exclamations
    Oh-o-ho, Oh-o-ho, Oh
    There’s the sensation of drinking beer and wine
    The sensation of finding a gold mine
    But I know one that is still more fine
    Oh-o-o-o-o-ho, Oh-o-o-ho

Chorus
When two loving arms are around you
When one loving heart has found you
When two loving eyes look into your own
When one loving mouth says: “You’ve got me goin'”
When two loving pairs of ears listen
To one loving “set” of lips kissin’
Then you holler: “Keep it up, do!”
When two loving arms are around you

2. There’s a time when there’s joy in living
Oh-o-o-ho, Oh-o-o-ho
That’s when kisses you are a giving
Oh-o-ho, Oh-o-ho, Oh
One loving squeeze tickles you up from your feet
Makes you holler out: “Won’t you please repeat?”
Talk about feelings, this is a treat
Oh-o-o-o-o-ho, Oh-o-o-ho
