Touch Of Your Lips

(Ray Noble)
When troubles get me
Cares beset me
And won't le me go
I turn to you
For consolation
There I find
New peace of mind
To leave behind my woe
I turn to you
As I shall always do
The touch of your lips
Upon my brow
Your lips that are cool
And sweet
Such tenderness
Lies in their soft caress
My heart forgets to beat!
The touch of your hands
Upon my head
The love in your eyes
A-shine
And now, at last,
The moment divine
The touch of your lips
On mine,
The love in your eyes
The touch of your lips
On mine,
Touch Of Your Lips
