Touch me in the morning

Touch me in the morning
then just walk away
we donand't have tomorrow
but we had yesterday
(hey!)
wasnand't it me who said that
nothing goodand's gonna last forever?
and wasnand't it me who said
letand's just be glad for the time together?
it mustand've been hard to tell me
that youand've given all you had to give
i can understand youand're feeling that way
everybodyand's got their life to live
Well, i can say goodbye in the cold morning light
but i canand't watch love die in the warmth of the night
if iand've got to be strong
donand't you know i need to have tonight when youand're gone?
and'till you go i need to lie here and think about
the last time that youand'll touch me in the morning
then just close the door
leave me as you found me, empty like before
(hey!)
wasnand't it yesterday
we used to laugh at the wind behind us?
didnand't we run away and hope
that time wouldnand't try to find us (didnand't we run)
didnand't we take each other
to a place where no oneand's ever been?
yeah, i really need you near me tonight
and'cause youand'll never take me there again
let me watch you go
with the sun in my eyes
weand've seen how love can grow
now weand'll see how it dies
If iand've got to be strong
donand't you know i need to have tonight when youand're gone?
and'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 living)
then just walk away
(we walked with a dream to hold and we could take what the world was giving)
we donand't have tomorrow,
(thereand's no tomorrow here, thereand's only love and the time to chase it)
but we had yesterday
(but yesterdayand's gone my love, thereand's only now and itand's time to face it)
touch me in the morning
