The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
I've woke up in places I couldn't remember Who's lying next to me or even how I got there And it's hard to believe that's how I used to roll One Tuesday night in an underground pool hall That's where I saw her for the first time Right around last call She stole my heart and I started walking down a new road And when I'm holdin' her It's like peace on earth Where time stands still Love's the only thing, yeah that I feel When she's in my arms No matter where we are You know I'm right at home when I'm holdin' her On a park bench down on fourth street I popped the question And to my amazement she actually said yes Tears filled my eyes as I slipped a ring on her hand Oh then a few short years later God put into my world A six pound eight ounce sweet baby girl And ever since that day, let me tell ya now I've been a brand new man Because when I'm holdin' her It's like peace on earth Where time stands still Loves the only thing, yeah that I feel When she's in my arms No matter where, no matter where we are I'm right at home when I'm holdin' her I'm right at home When I'm holdin' her
