Lyrics
[Intro]
Touch me in the morning
Then just walk away
We don't have tomorrow
But we had yesterday, yeah, hey
[Verse 1]
Hey, wasn't it me who said
That nothing good's gonna last forever?
And 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 you're feeling that way
Everybody's got their life to live
[PreChorus]
Well, I can say goodbye in the cold morning light
But I can't watch love die in the warmth of the night
[Chorus]
If I've got to be strong
Don't you know I need to
Have tonight when you're gone?
Till you go, I need to
Lie here and think about
The last time that you'll
Touch me in the morning
Then just close the door
Leave me as you found me
Empty like before
[Verse 2]
Hey, 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 run)
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
[PreChorus]
Let me watch you go with the sun in my eyes
We've seen how love can grow, now we'll see how it dies
[Chorus]
If I've got to be strong
Don't you know I need to
Have tonight when you're gone?
Till you go, I need to
Hold you until the time
Your hands reach out and
[Outro]
Touch me
Mornings were blue and gold
In the morning
And we could feel one another living (Touch me)
Then just walk away
We walked with a dream to hold
And we could take what the world was giving (Touch me)
We don't have tomorrow
There's no tomorrow here
There's only love and the time to chase it (Touch me)
But we had yesterday
Yesterday's gone, my love
There's only now and it's time to face it
Touch me in the morning
