“The Tender Touch of Love” was first released as a bonus track on the 2007 reissue of Dolly Parton’s landmark album Coat of Many Colors. The song was penned by Parton’s longtime duet partner, Porter Wagoner.
I've felt the sturdy hand of fate upon me
And I've felt the stings of love's burning pain
And I've felt the happiness of those around me
But I've never felt the touch of love's sweet hand
The tender touch of love and understanding
That makes your body trembling with true love
They say oh that words could not describe it
Oh but I've never felt the tender touch of love
Though I've felt needy hands say "I love you"
But when the need is gone, they turn away
And leave my heart with emptiness inside it
The hands of hurting touch the empty place
I've never felt the touch of understanding
That makes your body tremble with true love
They say [?] could not describe it
But I've never felt the tender touch of love
Oh no I've never felt the tender touch of love
The Tender Touch of Love was written by Porter Wagoner.
The Tender Touch of Love was produced by Bob Ferguson.
