IF I COULD TOUCH YOU

[Verse 1]
The alleyways grow narrower as I wander through the night,
And I can't come any closer to the one light in my life,
I'm burning with the passion every time I see your face,
But if I held you I might lose control, so take your hands away,
Please don't let your life be mine, (don't come any closer,)
I've already crossed the line,

[Chorus]
If I could touch you one more time without falling in love again,
If I could breathe you in tonight and still be sane,
If I could look at you just once without needing you, then
Maybe I wouldn't have to go away,
But I love you too much to stay,

[Verse 2]
I can't help but to love you, and you know it hurts so bad
To know you're my deliverance, but the one thing I can't have,
I'm giving in to passion, so I turn my eyes away,
And you hate me for leaving you, but it's the only way,
You can't let your life be mine, (don't come any closer,)
I've already crossed the line,

[Repeat chorus]

[Bridge]
I'll love you for eternity,
So I can't be by your side,
Don't make me look at you,
Just let this be goodbye,

[Repeat chorus]

[Ending]
I'll love you for eternity,
Goodbye...
Goodbye...
