This old world can lay so heavy on my shoulders...
and this face in my mirror keeps getting older
but no matter how much pressure's on
i can lay it down when i get home
'cause it all just fades away when i touch you
It's the kind of love
that lingers through the ages
a firm foundation, girl, to see us through
so let the storms of life go right on ragin'
for there's calm inside my heart when i touch you
Years from now when my life's nearly over
and there's nothing more this world needs me to do
if my feeble hand's still strong enough to reach out
i can be the happy man when i touch you
It's the kind of love
that lingers through the ages
oh, a firm foundation, girl, to see us through...
so let the storms of life go right on ragin'...
for there's calm inside my heart when i touch you...
Yes, it makes everything alright when i touch you...
