There's a woman in my arms
As close as skin can get
I want to fall in love again
I'm still not ready yet
Your shadow slips between us
Like every other time
And as cold chills cool the passion
Her love can't cross the line
My arms are full of memories of you
I pull the shades and lock the doors
But yesterday comes through
As I hold her in the dark
I still hold you in my heart
My arms are full of memories of you
I found her at an upscale dance
She's all woman to the bone
But I slipped and cried your name again
And I knew the night was gone
She slipped right through my fingers
Cause her pride can't play that role
She wants all of me or nothing
But it's not in her control
CHORUS

There's a woman in my arms
As close as skin can get
I want to fall in love again
I'm still not ready yet
Your shadow slips between us
Like every other time
And as cold chills cool the passion
Her love can't cross the line
My arms are full of memories of you
I pull the shades and lock the doors
But yesterday comes through
As I hold her in the dark
I still hold you in my heart
My arms are full of memories of you
I found her at an upscale dance
She's all woman to the bone
But I slipped and cried your name again
And I knew the night was gone
She slipped right through my fingers
Cause her pride can't play that role
She wants all of me or nothing
But it's not in her control
