The Softest Touch by Spider Tom
D
Please understand, a simple man like me,
C
Could never make a move, you could reject.
D
Beware! The slightest movement of the eye,
C
Might show some feeling, someone could detect.
G D
But worry not I'll hide emotion, be it slight or strong.
C G D
But let me touch you softly, with my song.
D
Do you listen to the words I spill, like tears,
C
That spring from crying of the heart,
D
Or smile on nonsense, in a song,
C
That I might finish soon, before you start.
G
As I was running up some hill,
D
Did your ears track my footsteps, weak or strong,
C
God knows I can't ignore you,
G D
So, let me touch you, softly, with my song.
(CHORUS)
D
You understand the meanings, I've wrapped within,
C
And, in between, the lines,
D
At times I trapped your smile in them,
C
I've caught your laughter, often, other times.
G
I wasn't singing solo, your mind was up there,
D
With me, all along.
C
All things in life are possible,
G D
So let me touch you softly, with a song.
(Chorus)
D G
Could I touch you with my song today,
D
For fate may never give another chance,
G D
Two paths may cross but once, and never stir the earth in dance.
G D
I'll keep it simple, you knew I was that, all along.
(Chorus)
C G D
Two paths may cross but once, yet, I might touch you, softly, with a song.
