Touch Me In The Morning

[Intro: Spoken]
Now, I am strong enough. Now, I am strong enough to accept change. Yes, my darling, if you want to live in another place, I can understand it. It’s gonna hurt for a little while but, I can understand it. But, before you walk out of that door…

[Chorus]
Touch me in the morning
Then just walk away
We don't have tomorrow
But we had yesterday

[Verse 1]
Wasn't it me who said
That nothin' good's gonna last forever
Wasn't it me who said
Let's just be glad for the time together

[Verse 2]
It must've been hard to tell me
That you've given all you had to give
I can understand your feeling that way
Everybody's got their life to live

[Bridge]
Well, I can say goodbye
In the cold morning light
But I can't watch love die
In the warmth of the night
If I got to be strong
Don't you know I need your help tonight
When you're gone, till you go
I need to just lie here and
Think about the very last time you’ll ever…

[Chorus]
Oh, touch me in the morning
Then just close the door
Leave me as you found me
All empty like before

[Verse 3]
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 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

[Bridge]
Let me watch you go
With the sun in my eyes
We've seen how love can grow
Now we'll watch how it dies
If I got to be strong
Don't you know I need your love tonight
When you're gone
Till you go
I need to hold onto you until the time
Your hands reach out and…
Oh, and touch me in the morning

[Interlude]

[Bridge]
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
I let me watch you go
With the sun in my eyes
We’ve seen how love can grow
Ho, now we’ll watch how it dies
If I got to be strong
Don’t you know I got to have
’Til you’re gone I need to

[Outro]
Use all my imagination just to think about the time when you loved me so well
(Touch me)
I don’t mind it, if I got to be strong
(Have tonight when you're gone)
Just as long as I can have tonight, turn off the T.V., turn off all the lights and…come on
(Touch me)
If I got to be strong, I don’t mind it
(If I got to be strong)
(Have tonight when you're gone)
Give me tonight, darling
Forget about the neighbors, forget about all my friends
(Touch me)
Ooh, babe, if I got to be strong
(If I got to be strong)
I can use it
(Help tonight when you're gone)
Just tonight, baby
Just tonight, just tonight. I will not ask for tomorrow
Oh, no, no
(Touch me)
If I got to be stronger and stronger and stronger
(If I got to be strong)
(Need your help tonight when you're gone)
And my love will grow longer and longer and longer
I will have the memories of ya
