"Touch Me In The Morning"

(As recorded by Diana Ross)
RON MILLER
MICHAEL MASSER

Touch me in the morning then just walk away
We don't have tomorrow but we had yesterday
Hey wasn't it me who said that nothin' good's gonna last forever
And wasn't it me who said let's just be glad for the time together
Must've been hard to tell me
That you've given all you had to give
I can understand your feelin' that way
Ev'rybody's got their life to live

Well I can say goodbye in the cold morning light
But I can't watch love die in the warmth of the night
If I've got to be strong don't you know I need to have tonight
When you're gone till you go I need to lie here and
Think about the last time you'll touch me in the morning
Then just close the door leave me as you found me
Empty like before

Hey wasn't it yesterday we used to laugh at the wind behind us
Didn't we run away and hope that time wouldn't try to find us
Didn't we take each other to a place where no one's ever been
Yeah I realy need you near me tonight
'Cause you'll never take me there again
Let me watch you go with the sun in my eyes

We've seen how love can grow now we'll see how it dies
If I've got to be strong don't you know I need to have tonight
When you're gone till you go I need to hold you until the tie
Your hands reach out and

Touch me in the morning then just walk away
We don't have tomorrow but we had yesterday
We're blue and gold and we could feel one another living
We walked with a dream to hold and we could take what the world was giving
There's no tomorrow here there's only love and the time to chase it
Yesterday's gone my love there's only now and it's time to face it
