TOUCH ME IN THE MORNING
(R. Miller / Michael Masser)
Diana Ross
Touch me in the morning
Then just walk away
We don’t have tomorrow
But we had yesterday
Hey, wasn’t it me who said
That nothing good’s gonna last forever
And wasn’t it me who said
Let’s just be glad for the time together
It must’ve been hard to tell me
That you’ve given all you had to give
I can understand you’re feelin’ that way
Everybody’s got their life to live
Well, I can say goodbye
In the cold morning light
But I can’t watch love die
In the warmth of the night
If I’ve got to be strong
Don’t you know I need to
Have tonight when you’re gone
Till you go I need to
Lie here and think about
The last time that you’ll
Touch me in the morning
Then just close the door
Leave me as you found me
Empty like before
Hey, wasn’t it yesterday
We used to laugh at the wind behind us
Didn’t we run away and hope
That time wouldn’t try to find us
(Didn’t we run Didn’t we take each other
To a place where no one’s ever been
Yeah, I really need you near me tonight
‘Cause you’ll never take me there again
Let me watch you go
With the sun in my eyes
We’ve seen how love can grow
Now we’ll see how it dies
If I’ve got to be strong
Don’t you know I need to
Have tonight when you’re gone
Till you go I need to
Hold you until the time
Your hands reach out and
Touch me in the morning
(Mornings where blue and gold and we could feel one another livin’)
Then just walk away
(We walked with a dream to hold and we could take what the world was givin’)
We don’t have tomorrow (There’s no tomorrow here, there’s only love and the time to chase it)
But we had yesterday (Yesterday’s gone my love, there’s only now and it’s time to face it)
Touch me in the morning (Wasn’t it me who said that nothing good’s gonna last forever)
Then just walk away (And wasn’t it me who said let’s just be glad for the time together)
We don’t have tomorrow (Wasn’t it yesterday we used to laugh at the wind behind us)
But we had yesterday (Yesterday’s gone my love, there’s only now and it’s time to face it)
