I recall the way she looked the first time we met
Short brown hair and a red rain jacket
Oh, how could I forget?
The voice inside my head said, "Oh my Lord"
She kissed me and I opened up my eyes
A better way of waking up, I'll never find
The words inside my mind, mm-hmm

She said, "Where you wanna go now? "
I said, "I'm easy, darling
you know I've never been to this town"
She said, "Why you gotta go now? "
I'm looking at her smile, I'm thinking
"Man, I better hold on to this one"

I hope I can hold on to this one
I hope I can hold on to this one, mm-hmm

The voice inside my heart said, "Oh my Lord"
A better way of waking up, I'll never find, mm-hmm

She said, "Where you wanna go now? "
I said, "I'm easy, darling
you know I've never been to this town"
She said, "Where we gonna go now? "
I'm looking at her face, I'm thinking
"Man, I'm pretty fond to this one"
She asked, "Why you gotta go now? "
I'm looking at her smile, I'm thinking
"Man, I better hold on to this one"

I hope I can hold on to this one
I hope I can hold on to this one
I hope I can hold on to this one, mm-hmm

The words inside my mind
I recall the way she looked the first we met
Short brown hair and a red rain jacket
Oh, how could I forget? MM-hmm
