[Verse 1: Brandy Clark]
Raven is the color of her long, curly hair
Red is the dress that she knows how to wear
Bluest eyes I've ever seen, maybe just a touch of green
Oh, she could steal most any woman's man
This'd be a real good time to hold my hand

[Verse 2: Brandy Clark]
She walked up and said, "Hello, it's been awhile"
Don't think I didn't notice the nervous in your smile
Wasn't that long ago you were a whole lot more than friends
This'd be a real good time to hold my hand

[Chorus: Brandy Clark, Dwight Yoakam, & Both]
Don't let this moment linger
Now would be the time
To reach out with your fingers
And get 'em tangled up with mine
Let her know for sure (Oooh oooh)
That I'm more than just a soft place to land
This'd be a real good time to hold my hand

[Bridge: Brandy Clark & Both]
If I'm your future and she's your past
If it's over with her and our love's gonna last
[Chorus: Brandy Clark, Dwight Yoakam, & Both]
Don't let this moment linger
Now would be the time
To reach out with your fingers
And get 'em tangled up with mine
Let her know for sure (Oooh oooh)
That I'm more than just a soft place to land
This'd be a real good time
Oh, this'd be a real good time
This'd be a real good time to hold my hand
