Marty Robbins - Sometimes When We Touch lyrics

rate me

You ask me if I love you<br />

And I choke on my reply<br />

I'd rather hurt you honestly<br />

Than mislead you with a lie<br />

<br />

For who am I to judge you<br />

In what you say or do<br />

I'm only just beginning<br />

To see the real you<br />

<br />

And sometimes when we touch<br />

The honesty's too much<br />

And I have to close my eyes<br />

And hide<br />

I wanna hold you till I die<br />

Till we both break down and cry<br />

I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides<br />

<br />

Romance's an honest strategy<br />

Leaves me grappling with my pride<br />

But through the years of maturity<br />

Some tenderness survives<br />

I'm just another writer<br />

Still trapped within my truth<br />

A hesitant prize-fighter<br />

Still trapped within my youth<br />

<br />

At times I'd like to break you<br />

And drive you to your knees<br />

At times I'd like to break through<br />

And hold you endlessly<br />

At times I understand you<br />

And I know how hard you try<br />

I've watched whil love commands you<br />

And I've watched love pass you by<br />

At times I think we're drifters<br />

Still searching for a friend<br />

A brother or a sister<br />

But then the passion flares again...
