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 built to see us through
So let the storms of life go right on raging
For there's calm insde my heart, when I touch you.

Years from now when my life is 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 leave a happy man when I touch you.

It's the kind of love that lingers through the ages
On a firm foundation built to see us through
So let the storms of life go right on raging
For there's calm insde my heart, when I touch you.

Yes, it makes everything alright, when I touch you...
