I found a place full of charms A magic world in my baby's arms Her soft embrace like satin and lace Wondrous place What a spot in a storm To cuddle up and stay nice and warm Away from harm in my baby's arms Wondrous place Man I'm nowhere When I'm anywhere else But I don't care Everything's right when she holds me tight Her tender hands on my face I'm in heaven in her embrace I want to stay and never go away Wondrous place Man I'm nowhere When I'm anywhere else But I don't care Everything's right when she holds me tight Her tender hands on my face I'm in heaven in her embrace I want to stay and never go away Wondrous place
