Dolly Parton - As Soon as I Touched Him Lyrics

(Norma Helms - Ken Hirsch)

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 couldn't pull away
But the kind of lovin' that I gave to him I'm not ashamed to say.

Oh, soon as I touched him, soon as I touched him
I felt like a woman and the feelin' made me close my eyes
As soon as I touched him, oh, I was born again
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 he's gone, oh, he's gone
Now I hide myself from the light of day so no one else can see
A part of him that I can't forget that's growin' deep inside of me.

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
As soon as I touched him, oh, I was born again
I heard myself cryin' like our new born baby cries.

Oh, soon as I touched him, soon as I touched him
I felt like a woman and the feelin' made me close my eyes
As soon as I touched him, oh, I was born again
I heard myself cryin' like a new born baby cries...
