Sometimes When We Touch

Sometimes When We Touch - Oscar Peterson

Sometimes when we touch

The honesty's too much

And i have to close my eyes

And hide

I want to hold you till i die

Till we both break down and cry

I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides

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

And what you say or do

I'm only just beginning

To see the real you

Sometimes when we touch

The honesty's too much

And i have to close my eyes

And hide

I want to hold you till i die

Till we both break down and cry

I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides

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'd like to break you

And drive you to your knees

At times i'd like to break through

And hold you endlessly

Sometimes when we touch

The honesty's too much

And i have to close my eyes

And hide

I want to hold you till i die

Till we both break down and cry

I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides
