Sometimes When We Touch Dan Hill (#3 in 1978)

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
And who am I to judge you on what you say or do?
I'm only just beginning to see the real you
 
    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 till the fear in me subsides
 
Romance and all its strategy leaves me battling with my pride
But through the insecurity some tenderness survives
I'm just another writer still trapped within my truth
A hesitant prize fighter still trapped within my youth    Chorus
 
At times I'd like to break you and drive you to your knees
At times I'd like to break through and hold you endlessly
 
At times I understand you and I see how hard you've tried
I've watched while love commands you and I've watched love pass you by
 
At times I think we're drifters still searching for a friend
A brother or a sister but then the passion flares again    Chorus
