You touch my hand and suddenly
A smile appears inside of me
And when your lips are close to mine
I know the taste of joy divine
You made skies blue
That's why I love you
Whoa-oh

Love is here to stay this time
And it's all because
You touched my hand
Touch me again

The love you give
Has brought to me an everlasting melody
And somewhere in the darkest night
Our love is always shining bright
My whole life through
I'll always love you
Whoa-oh

Love is here to stay this time
And it's all because
You touched my hand
Touch me again

Mm-mm-mm...

And I know by now
You understand
Touch me again
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Touch me again
Ooh-ooh-ooh
