Sometimes When We Touch with Kenny Rogers

[D: 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

K: Who am I to judge you

On what you say or do

I'm only just beginning

To see the real you



Both: Sometimes when we touch

The honest is 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



D: Romance and all its strategy

Leaves me battling with my pride

K: But through the insecurity

Some tenderness survives

D: I'm just another writer

Still trapped within my truths

K: And your hesitant prize fighter

Trapped within your youth



Both: 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



K: At times I understand you

D: And I know how hard you've tried

K: I've watched while love commands you

D: And I've watched love pass you by

K: And at times I think we're drifters

Searching for a friend

D: A brother or a sister

But then the passion flares again



Both: And sometimes when we touch

The honest is 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



I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides ]
