Lyrics
I was standing by the ocean when I saw your face I couldn't look at you I guess you knew it but I never realized That we were through And now I'm down here all alone with every feeling that I own You can't take that away And with every breath we take and the illusions we create Will come to you someday And I was touched By the hand of God Never knew it But of course I was I never hoped to do the things in this world I wanted to Because everything I own It belongs to you I've never looked at you in a sexual way In my life before And I've never woken up like this So desperately before And I was touched By the hand of God Never knew it But of course I was I was touched By the hand of God Never knew it But of course I was Touched By the hand of God Never knew it But of course I was I was touched By the hand of God Never knew it But of course I was Ooh Ooh I was touched (touched) I was touched (touched)
