The Touch Of Your Lips
Bing Crosby · Other Songs - Bing Crosby
And won't let 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, that moment divine,
The touch of your lips on mine.
The touch of your hands upon my head,
The love in your eyes a-shine,
And now, at last, that moment divine,
The touch of your lips on mine.
The Touch Of Your Lips
Recorded by Bing Crosby, this classic vocal performance exemplifies the smooth, crooning style that defined the crooner era of the 1940s. The track features Crosby's signature warm tone and intimate delivery, characteristic of his partnership with the Glen Campbell Orchestra. As a staple of his discography, the song captures the romantic sentiment of the period, reflecting the polished production values and orchestral arrangements typical of Crosby's radio and film soundtracks. It remains a representative work of his body of work, showcasing his ability to convey emotion through subtle vocal inflection rather than complex instrumentation. The recording stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of mid-century American pop music and Crosby's mastery of the genre.
