Verse 1 
 C  
I've lost count of the ladies 
                      F   
That I've held in my arms 
                 C 
All shapes and sizes 
                          G 
They've come and they've gone 
 
Verse 2

I've found one thats a keeper  
                         F

I've never held a lady 
          G               C 
Like the one I'm holding now 
 
chorus 
         G 
She's younger and prettier

The kind of a lady

That makes a man come home 
 
Vers 3 
 C 
I'm mighty close to heaven  
                  F  
As close as god allows

I've never held a lady 
          G               C 
Like the one I'm holding now 
 
Lead Break 
 
On the streets she's a lady 
But when she's in my arms 
The lady is a woman 
She's all I ever want 
 
And loving comes so natural 
But when she's in my arms 
I've never held a lady 
Like the one I'm holding now 
 
Chorus 
 
I'm mighty close to heaven 
As close a god allows 
I've never held a lady 
Like the one I'm holding now

I've never held a lady

Like the one I'm holding now
