Demis Roussos Sometimes When We Touch Lyrics

Sometimes When We Touch Lyrics

You ask me if I love you
and I choke on my reply,
I'd rather hurt you
honestly
than mislead you with a lie.

For who am I to judge
you,
in what you say or do,
I'm only just beginning
to see the real
you.

And sometimes when we touch,
the honesty's too much,
and I
have to close my eyes and hide.
I wanna hold you till I die,
till we both
break down and cry.
I wanna hold you till the fear in me
subsides.

Romance with honest strategy
leaves me battling with my
pride,
but through the insecurity
some tenderness survives.
I'm just
another writer,
still trapped within my truth,
a hesitant
prize-fighter,
still trapped within my youth.

And sometimes when we
touch,
the honesty's too much,
and I have to close my eyes and hide.
I
wanna hold you till I die,
till we both break down and cry.
I wanna hold
you till the fear in me subsides.

At times I'd like to break you,
and
drive you to your knees.
At times I'd like to break through,
and hold you
endlessly.

At times I understand you,
and I know how hard you
try.
I've watched whil love commands you,
I've 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's too much,
and I have to close my eyes and
hide.
I wanna hold you till I die,
till we both break down and cry.
I
wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides.
