Sometimes When We Touch

Sometimes When We Touch

Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton

You asked me if I love you and I choke on my reply
I’d rather hurt you honestly than mislead you with a lie
Who am I to judge you on what you say or do
I’m only just beginning to see the real you

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

Romance and all its strategy leaves me battling with my pride
But through the insecurity some tenderness survived
I’m just another writer still trapped within my truths
And you’re a hesitant prize fighter trapped within your youth

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

At times I understand you and I know how hard you’ve tried
I’ve watched while love commands you and I’ve watched love pass you by
And at times I think we’re drifters searching for a friend
A brother or a sister but then the passion flares again

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