Intro: Verse 1 I've lost count of the ladies That I've held in my arms All shapes and sizes They've come and they've gone Verse 2 I've found one thats a keeper And she's keeping every vow I've never held a lady Like the one I'm holding now chorus She's younger and prettier Than any one I've known The kind of a lady That makes a man come home Vers 3 I'm mighty close to heaven As close as god allows I've never held a lady 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 End: This song was written 58 years ago by Ray Sawyer. It has now been revived and recorded by Benny Woodley in Perth Western Australia which he has sung it in the country style way.
