Lyrics

Lighter Touch

Look at me, the answer is so clear

Lying close by the fire place

I wish that you could see yourself this way

My love, with the firelight upon your face

Ain't it strange how love put things together?

One like you, someone like me

But no one ever moved me like the way you do

And held against you, love I am weak, oh yeah

Before us now, the dream of love is playin'

A butterfly risin' from the flame

You and me don't need no chain

Since this feeling came to us

A touch of love, a lighter touch

This touch of love, this lighter touch

Than hands of love through time

Reaching up to have and to hold you

But you know I'll always stay if i

Am free to go. you know I'll take

Your love into my soul. be lighter

Touch of love this lighter, lighter

Lighter touch
