touch me in the morning

touch me in the morning

then just walk away

we don't have tomorrow

but we had yesterday

wasn't it me who said that

nothing good's gonna last forever?

and wasn't it me who said

let's just be glad for the time together?

it must've been hard to tell me

that you've given all you had to give

i can understand you're feeling that way

everybody's got their life to live

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've got to be strong

don't you know i need to have tonight when you're gone?

'till you go i need to lie here and think about

the last time that you'll touch me in the morning

then just close the door

leave me as you found me

empty like before

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

let me watch you go

with the sun in my eyes

we've seen how love can grow

now we'll see how it dies

if i've got to be strong

don't you know i need to have tonight when you're gone?

'till you go i need to hold you until the time

your hands reach out and touch me in the morning

then just walk away

we don't have tomorrow

but we had yesterday

touch me in the morning.
