Lyrics: 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 ]
