As Soon As I Touched Him Lyrics
Dolly Parton
He came to me like a bright idea
Shining like the sun
And the way his eyes burned into mine
I knew he must be the one
Oh, he drew me in like a magnet does
So I couldnt pull away
But the kind of lovin that I gave to him
Im not ashamed to say
1st chorus:
Oh, as soon as I touched him
Soon as I touched him
I felt like a woman
And the feelin made me close my eyes
I was born again
An I heard myself cryin
Like a new born baby cries
He told me what I meant to him
Swore that I was sent to him
All my lovin went to him
Now hes gone, oh, hes gone
Now I hide myself from the light of day
So no one else can see
A part of him that I cant forget
Thats growin deep inside of me
2nd chorus:
Oh, as soon as I touched him
Soon as I touched him
I felt like a woman
And the feelin made me close my eyes
I was born again
An I heard myself cryin
Like our new born baby cries
