Touch
Diane Schuur Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The time has come for true confession
We seem to grow apart
But change is one of loves concession
Don't let passion fade
Protect the vow me made
Can't we find a way to try?
Everything we feel
Touch (Whisper)
Don't loose touch
Don't loose your touch
Baby my heart is crying
Don't loose touch
Don't loose your touch
It's not too late for trying
I need you so.
We lost our faith
Afraid that the spell might be broken
Caught in our ways
Too many words went unspoken
We can stand our ground
Proud of what we found
Good has come from how we've changed
Pretend this is day one
You know how it's done
Touch (Whisper)
Don't loose touch
Don't loose your touch
Baby my heart is crying
Don't loose touch
Don't loose your touch
It's not too late for trying
Don't loose touch
Don't loose your touch
Baby Comfort and guide me
Don't loose touch
Don't loose your touch
Spend a lifetime beside me
I need you so.
Don't let passion fade
Protect the vow me made
Can't we find a way to try?
Hold on to what is real
Everything we feel
Don't loose touch
Don't loose your touch
Baby my heart is crying
Don't loose touch
Don't loose your touch
It's not too late for trying
Don't loose touch
Don't loose your touch
Baby Comfort and guide me
Don't loose touch
Don't loose your touch
Spend a lifetime beside me
I need you so.

A razão do meu "like" foi motivada por uma familiar impressão ainda que eu não sei nada do idioma russo, mas a música é universal!
