[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
Anf 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
An' I heard myself cryin'
Like a newborn baby cries

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
