Sometimes When We Touch - Barry Manilow

You asked me if I loved you

And I choked on my reply

I rather hurt you honestly

Than miss lead you with a lie

And who am I to judge you

On what you say or do

I’m only just beginning

To see the real you

And sometimes when we touch

The honesty to much

And I have to close my eyes and hide

I want to hold you ’til I die

’til we both break down and cry

I wanna hold you ’til

The fear in me subsides

Romancing all his strategie

Leaves me battling with my pride

But through the insecurity

Some tenderness survives

I’m just another writer

Still trapped within my truths

A hesatant prized fighter

Still trapped within my youth

And sometimes when we touch

The honesty to much

And I have to close my eyes and hide

I want to hold you ’til I die

’til we both break down and cry

I wanna hold you ’til

The fear in me subsides

At times I like to break you

And drag you to your knees

At times I like to break through

And hold you endlessly

At times I understand you

And I know how hard you’ve tried

I watched why love comands you

And I watched love pass you by

At times I think we’re drifters

Still searching for a friend

A brother or a sister

But then the passion flares again

And sometimes when we touch

The honesty to much

And I have to close my eyes and hide

I want to hold you ’til I die

’til we both break down and cry

I wanna hold you ’til

The fear in me subsides
