Touching You
Touching You
It's been going on so long
still you don't know it's true.
Reaching from so deep in me
into the heart of you.
Trying to find a way somehow
to somehow just be near.
Looking for the words to say
that you so need to hear.
Like stumbling in the dark it seems
you can't hear what I've spoken.
So I'm reaching deeper still
to touch your heart that's broken.
Reminding you of happy days
through tears that still you cry.
Won't you let me touch you there?
Won't you let me try?
To take the pieces far away
oh let me, let me please.
Take away the hurt in you
that drives you to your knees.
For if you could only see in me
I know that you will find.
I only want to touch your heart
the way that you touched mine.
