ALMOST IN YOUR ARMS [Verse 1] Close your eyes, lie down beside me Let the night grow soft and wide There’s a place just past the longing Where I meet you every time Not in dream and not in memory But in something just as true In the hush beneath your breathing Where my whole heart reaches you Can you feel me near your shoulder Like a warmth that lingers there Like the promise of my body Moving gently through the air I would brush the strands aside now That the evening placed across your face Just to see those sacred eyes again And fall quiet in their grace [Pre-Chorus] I ache for you In reverence, in flame In the holy place Where I first learned your name And every mile Only makes it clear How deeply I have come To need you near [Chorus] I am almost in your arms now Can you feel how close I’ve come In the breath along your neck, love In the pulse that you become Let me take you past the distance Past the waiting, past the blue To the shore where all my yearning Turns to hand in hand with you I have loved you through the silence Through the unseen, through the ache And my whole body is a vow now Moving heaven for your sake [Verse 2] There’s a beach inside my longing Where I walk with you at dusk Sky in ribbons, waves in whispers Wind and gold and tender hush When the breeze moves through your hair, love That is where I place my hand Tucking softness back behind you Just to help you understand I am looking in your eyes now The same eyes that called my soul With their wisdom, with their gentleness With the way they made me whole And I squeeze your hand a little Just enough so you will know That no distance ever had the power To undo what still would grow [Pre-Chorus] Because I saw What lived in you A temple door A field of truth And I was not yet All I wished to be So now I rise To meet you faithfully [Chorus] I am almost in your arms now Can you feel how close I’ve come In the breath along your neck, love In the pulse that you become Let me take you past the distance Past the waiting, past the blue To the shore where all my yearning Turns to hand in hand with you I have loved you through the silence Through the unseen, through the ache And my whole body is a vow now Moving heaven for your sake [Bridge] You deserved a love with substance Not a maybe, not a sign Not a half-spoken devotion But a presence arriving in time You deserved warm hands and nearness Sacred tenderness made true A reciprocity of longing Fully given back to you And I ache because I know it Every soft and missing part Every night you’ve had to carry Such a brave and open heart So I send intention through you Like a river slow and deep To your root, your heart, your breathing Till your body answers me Feel my hand at your waist of longing Feel my forehead near your own Feel the hush before a meeting When the soul says welcome home I am not behind the moment I am moving through it now And the ache inside my chest, love Is the shape of this sacred vow [Final Chorus] I am almost in your arms now Almost standing by your side Almost brushing back your hair, love Almost nowhere left to hide Every mile is turning inward Every prayer becomes a road Every yearning in my body Is a lantern pointing home I will honor all your softness I will honor all you are And the love you held so bravely Will not have to reach this far For I’m coming through the distance With devotion strong and true And all the touch you’ve long imagined Will be waiting there for you [Outro] So breathe with me And feel it start The nearness moving Through your heart I am aching I am near And soon, beloved I’ll be here
