Lyrics
This old life seemed much too long
Little point in going on
I couldn't think of what to say
Words just vanished in a haze
I was feeling cold and tired
Yeah, kinda sad and uninspired
When it almost seemed too much
I see your face and sense the grace
And feel the magic in your touch
(Ooh, lay your hands) lay your hands on me
(Lay your hands) whoo-hoo-ooh
(Ooh, lay your hands) oh, lay your hands on me
(Lay your hands)
Back and forth across the sea
I have chased so many dreams
But I have never felt the grace
That I have felt in your embrace
I was tired and I was cold
Yeah, with a hunger in my soul
When it almost seemed too much
I see your face and sense the grace
And feel the magic of your touch
(Ooh, lay your hands) oh, lay your hands on me
(Lay your hands) woo-hoo
(Ooh, lay your hands) oh, lay your hands on me
(Lay your hands) oh, oh-oh-oh
You know, you make me feel so good
Yeah, like I never ever thought I would
You know, you make me feel so strong
And now our laughter just goes on and on (and on)
So c'mon lay your hands on me
'Cause close to you is where I really wanna be
And if it ever gets too much
I see your face and sense the grace
And feel the magic in our touch
(Ooh, lay your hands) lay your hands on me
(Lay your hands) whoo-hoo-ooh
(Ooh, lay your hands) oh, lay your hands on me
(Lay your hands) oh-oh-oh, lay your hands on me
(Ooh, lay your hands) oh, lay your hands on me
(Ooh, lay your hands) whoo-hoo-ooh
(Ooh, lay your hands) oh, lay your hands on me
(Ooh, lay your hands) oh, lay your hands on me
(Oh, lay your hands)
