Barry Manilow - Sometimes When We Touch

You ask me if I love you
And I choke on my reply
I'd rather hurt you honestly
Than mislead you with a lie
K: Who am I to judge you
On what you say or do
I'm only just beginning
To see the real you

Sometimes when we touch
The honest is too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you till I die
Till we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

Romance and all its strategy
Leaves me battling with my pride
But through the insecurity
Some tenderness survives
I'm just another writer
Still trapped within my truths
And your hesitant prize fighter
Trapped within your youth

Sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you till I die
Till we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

At times I understand you
And I know how hard you've tried
I've watched while love commands you
And I've watched love pass you by
And at times I think we're drifters
Searching for a friend
A brother or a sister
But then the passion flares again

And sometimes when we touch
The honest is too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you till I die
Till we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
