Lay Your Hands on Me Lyrics

This old life seemed much too long With little point in going on I couldn't think of what to say Words just vanished in the haze I was feeling cold and tired Yeah kinda sad and uninspired But when it almost seemed too much I see your face And sense the grace And feel the magic in your touch (chorus) Oh lay your hands Lay your hands on me Oh lay your hands Woo-oo-oo-oo! Oh lay your hands Oh lay your hands on me Back and forth across the sea I have chased so many dreams But I have never felt the grace That I have felt in your embrace Oh I was tired and I was cold Yeah with a hunger in my soul When it almost seemed too much I see your face And sense the grace And feel the magic of your touch (REPEAT CHORUS) Now you made me feel so good Yeah like I never ever thought I would You know you make me feel so strong And now our laughter just goes on and on So c'mon lay your hands on me Cause close to you is where I really wanna be And if it ever gets too much I see your face And sense the grace And feel the magic in our touch (REPEAT CHORUS TO FADE)
