Holdin' Her (American Idol Performance)

When I'm Holdin' Her

I've woke up in places I couldn't remember
Who's lying next to me or how the hell I got there
It's hard to believe that's how I used to roll
But one Tuesday night in an underground pool hall
I met her at the bar, it was right around last call
She stole my heart and I started down a new road

And when I'm holdin' her
It's like peace on earth
Where time stands still
Love's the only thing, yeah that I feel
When she's in my arms
No matter where we are
You know I'm right at home when I'm holdin' her

On a park bench on 4th street I popped the question
And to my amazement she actually said yes
And tears filled my eyes as I slipped a ring on her hand
Then a few short years later into the world
Came a six pound eight ounce sweet baby girl
And ever since that day I tell ya, I've been a brand new man

Oh when I'm holdin' her
It's like peace on earth
Where time stands still
Loves the only thing, yeah that I feel
When she's in my arms
No matter where we are
You know I'm at home when I'm holdin' her

Yeah I'm right at home
Lord knows I'm right at home
Yeah I'm right at home when I'm holdin' her
