I never met a woman
Who made me feel like Holly would
She wrapped her arms around me
And made me feel like nobody could
She'd do the things that nobody else would
She'd do the things that nobody else could
I left her arms
in the deep heat of the summer
That decision that I made then
Forever makes me wonder
I'll always love being misunderstood
But still she loves, like nobody else could
CHORUS
Holly would, she'd do the things
that make my heart sing
Holly would, I found heaven with Holly.
My eyes are open,
the woman I love is gone
She left these arms that loved her
and the years have proved me wrong
She'd do the things that nobody else would
She'd do the things that nobody else could
CHORUS
CHORUS to fade
