"touch" "fly"
FIRST VERSE
Go easy on those eyes, I'm about to lose my grip
Go easy on that smile, I'm afraid that I might slip
Lay off on that calling and temptin' me to try
'Cause I'm so scared of fallin', I'll never learn to fly
CHORUS
Then you say 'Touch me. You can reach me.'
Now you can make me want to fly
You make it seem so easy
Catch me if I try
SECOND VERSE
You tempted me to step off the edge of reason
I thought that I knew better than to start believing in ...
Love, love, love ...
But if I read you right, you just might want to dance all night
Well I have risked a fall before, but not from this height
CHORUS
THIRD VERSE
And when I try it's only falling, just what could be the fear?
You'll never learn to fly unless you take that first step
Way up where your heart will be your only guide
Let up on your worryin', head up on your heart
CHORUS
CODA
Then you say 'Touch me. You can reach me.'
Then you say 'Touch me. You can reach me.'
Then you say 'Touch me. You can teach me ...
Teach me how to fly...'
