Touch Me In The Morning

Now, I am strong enough. Now, I am strong enough to accept change. Yes, my darling, if you want to live in another place, I can understand it. It’s gonna hurt for a little while but, I can understand it. But, before you walk out of that door…

Touch me in the morning

Then just walk away

We don't have tomorrow

But we had yesterday

Wasn't it me who said

That nothin' good's gonna last forever

Wasn't it me who said

Let's just be glad for the time together

It must've been hard to tell me

That you've given all you had to give

I can understand your feeling that way

Everybody's got their life to live

Well, I can say goodbye

In the cold morning light

But I can't watch love die

In the warmth of the night

If I got to be strong

Don't you know I need your help tonight

When you're gone, till you go

I need to just lie here and

Think about the very last time you’ll ever…

Oh, touch me in the morning

Then just close the door

Leave me as you found me

All empty like before

Wasn't it yesterday

We used to laugh at the wind behind us

Didn't we run away and hope

That time wouldn't try to find us

Didn't we take each other

To a place where

No one's ever been

Yeah, I really need you

Near me tonight

'Cause you'll never take me there again

Let me watch you go

With the sun in my eyes

We've seen how love can grow

Now we'll watch how it dies

If I got to be strong

Don't you know I need your love tonight

When you're gone

Till you go

I need to hold onto you until the time

Your hands reach out and…

Oh, and touch me in the morning

Didn't we take each other

To a place where

No one's ever been

Yeah, I really need you

Near me tonight

'Cause you'll never take me there again

I let me watch you go

With the sun in my eyes

We’ve seen how love can grow

Ho, now we’ll watch how it dies

If I got to be strong

Don’t you know I got to have

’Til you’re gone I need to

Use all my imagination just to think about the time when you loved me so well

(Touch me)

I don’t mind it, if I got to be strong

(Have tonight when you're gone)

Just as long as I can have tonight, turn off the T.V., turn off all the lights and…come on

(Touch me)

If I got to be strong, I don’t mind it

(If I got to be strong)

(Have tonight when you're gone)

Give me tonight, darling

Forget about the neighbors, forget about all my friends

(Touch me)

Ooh, babe, if I got to be strong

(If I got to be strong)

I can use it

(Help tonight when you're gone)

Just tonight, baby

Just tonight, just tonight. I will not ask for tomorrow

Oh, no, no

(Touch me)

If I got to be stronger and stronger and stronger

(If I got to be strong)

(Need your help tonight when you're gone)

And my love will grow longer and longer and longer

I will have the memories of ya
