Lyrics

Reach Out

[Verse 1]

Don't walk away

I need you more than words can say

I feel for you

This everlasting flame

My everlasting flame

[Pre-Chorus]

I will wash away your tears

Through the pain and through the sorrow

Better days are still to come

(Better days)

If you would only turn around and

[Chorus]

Reach out and touch me

Reach out and hold me

Reach out and touch me

(Reach out and touch me)

[Verse 2]

You feel the rain

I feel the teardrops run down my face

You hide your fear

In everlasting shame

My everlasting flame

[Pre-Chorus]

We have wasted so much time

So you're saying now its over

Better days are still to come

(Better days)

Don't turn your back on me now, darlin'

(Don't turn your back on me now, darlin')

Reach out and touch me

(Reach out and touch me)

Reach out and hold me

(Reach out and hold me)

Reach out and touch me

(Reach out and touch me)

(Reach out)

[Bridge]

[Pre-Chorus]

I will wash away your tears

Through the pain and through the sorrow

Better days are still to come

(Better days)

If you would only turn around and

[Coda]

Reach out and touch me

(Reach out and touch me)

Reach out and hold me

(Reach out and hold me)

Reach out and touch me

(Reach out and touch me)

Don't walk away from me now, darlin'

(Reach out and touch me)

I need you now much more than ever

(Reach out and hold me)

Don't you walk away from me now, my darling

(Reach out and touch me)

Don't walk away from me now, darlin'

Reach out and touch me

(Reach out and touch me)

I need you now much more than ever

Reach out and hold me

(Reach out and hold me)

Don't you walk away from me now, my darling

Reach out and touch me

(Reach out and touch me)
