LYRICS
On My Arm - (Rick McGee, Jared Coats)
There's more gray around my temples
Lines are deeper on my face
I'll ignore the years behind them
But the marks of time can't be erased
I don't wear my heart on my sleeve
I keep emotions out of view
But take a closer look and you will see
Her pretty face in this tattoo
It's a permanent reminder of the love we shared
On a blanket in the park, ran my fingers through her hair
The memories fade slowly, I know in my heart
That until the day I die
She'll be on my arm
That bathroom mirror every morning
Takes me to another time
I can't help the smile on my face
When I see her on my side
Then I hide her eyes with my shirt
And I pretend I'm alright
But the truth is clearly revealed
When that shirt comes off at night
It's a permanent reminder of the love we shared
In a crowded shopping center we kissed while others stared
The memories fade slowly, I know in my heart
That until the day I die
She'll be on my arm
A broken heart is a wound that heals
But you can't always see the scar
The only love I ever loved
Is right here on my arm
It's a permanent reminder of the love we shared
On an empty beach at sunset, we... ohh
Those memories fade slowly, I know in my heart
That until the day I die
When all my blood is dry
Until the day I die she will be right here, (she'll be with me)
Until the day I die she will be with me
On my arm
She'll be with me
On my arm
Forever with me
