When I Touch You

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
