Last One to Touch Me

(Dolly Parton)



If there ever was an angel

Then surely you must be one

If there ever was a perfect love

When I look at you I see one.



If there's heaven here on earth

Then this must surely be

I want you to be

The last one to touch me.



The last thing I remember

Before I go to sleep

Is the touch of your sweet lips

Softly kissing me.



And so when I awaken

From my eternal sleep

I want you to be

The last one to touch me.



And when it's time to lay me down

For my eternal sleep

Once more let your fingers

Softly touch my cheek.



If I know that you have touched me

Then I can sleep in peace

I want you to be

The last one to touch me.



And when the night is over

And time will be no more

They say that we shall meet again

Upon the golden shore.



And so when I awaken

From my eternal sleep

I want you to be

The last one to touch me.



I want you to be

The first, the last, the only one

To touch me...
