The One I'm Holding Now Lyrics - Dr. Hook

(Hazel Smith) 

I've lost count of the ladies, I've held in my arms 

All shapes and sizes, they've come and they've gone 

I've found one that's a keeper, and I'm keeping every vow 

I've never held a lady, like the one I'm holding now 

She's younger and prettier, than anyone I've known 

The kind of a lady, that makes a man come home 

I'm mighty close to heaven, as close as God allows 

And I'm thankful I'm holding, the one I'm holding now 

On the streets she's a lady, but when she's in my arms 

The lady's all woman, she's all I'll ever want 

Lovin' comes so natural, Lord knows she knows how 

And I've never loved a lady, like the one I'm holding now 

She's younger and prettier, than anyone I've known 

The kind of a lady, that makes a man come home 

I'm mighty close to heaven, as close as God allows 

And I'm thankful I'm holding, the one I'm holding now 

I'm mighty close to heaven, as close as God allows 

And I'm thankful I'm holding, the one I'm holding now
