As Soon as I Touched Him Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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
Soon as I touched him
I was born again
And I heard myself cryin'
Like a newborn baby cries

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
Soon as I touched him
I was born again
And I heard myself cryin'
Like our newborn baby cries
Soon as I touched him
As soon as I touched him
I felt like a woman
And the feelin' made me close my eyes
Soon as I touched him
As soon as I touched him
I heard myself cryin'
Like a newborn baby cries

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
