Almost in Your ArmsSinéad O’Connor

Songwriter: Jay Livingston Ray Evans

Producer: Phil Ramone Sinéad O’Connor

You're near, that moment's here
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 the things that seem so small
One look can write a book
One touch can say it all

We know those nights of love
And now we found our way
I'm almost in your arms
To stay

You're near, that moment's here
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 the things that seem so small
One look can write a book
One touch can say it all

We know those nights of love
And now we found our way
I'm almost in your arms
Almost in your arms
Almost in your arms
To stay

Sinéad O’Connor

Sinéad O'Connor (who goes by Shuhada' Sadaqat in her private life) is an Irish singer-songwriter who rose to fame in the late 80s with her album The Lion and the Cobra and achieved worldwide success with her cover of Prince’s “Nothing Compares to You” in 1990.

O'Connor was discovered in 1985 when Nigel Grainge of Ensign Records saw her band Ton Ton Macoute perform. Although he was not fond of the band’s music, he was impressed by O'Connor’s ‘amazing voice’. Grainge had O'Connor record four songs with Karl Wallinger (World Party) and signed her to his label. O'Connor’s first single was the song “Heroine” which she co-wrote with U2’s guitarist The Edge for the film Captive.

Her debut album The Lion and the Cobra was a sensation when it was released in 1987, reaching gold record status and earning a Best Female Rock Vocal Performance Grammy nomination. O'Connor’s debut single “Troy” charted in The Netherlands and Belgium, and “Mandinka”, released in late 1987, cracked the top 20 in the UK and top 30 in three other European countries, helping her album chart well in Europe. Spin Magazine described the album as a “remarkable, still-spine-tingling first record”.
