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
Until the day I die she will be with me

On my arm
She'll be with me
On my arm
Forever with me
