@music.lover5062: “Sometimes When We Touch” was written by Canadian singer-songwriter Dan Hill and released in 1977. The song became Hill's signature hit and reached the Top 10 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. The lyrics describe the emotional contradiction of loving someone while struggling with fear, insecurity, and vulnerability. Hill reportedly wrote the song when he was very young, capturing the complicated emotions of falling deeply in love. Its enduring appeal comes from its honesty: love isn't always confident or uncomplicated—it can make us feel exposed and afraid.
Sometimes When We Touch
Song by Dan Hill ‧ 1977
🎶🎶🎶🎶
You ask me if I love you
And I choke on my reply
I'd rather hurt you, honestly
Than mislead you with a lie
And who am I to judge you
On what you say or do?
I'm only just beginning
To see the real you
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you 'til I die
'Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you
'Til the fear in me subsides
Romance and all its strategy
Leaves me battling with my pride
But through the insecurity
Some tenderness survives
I'm just another writer
Still trapped within my truth
A hesitant prize fighter
Still trapped within my youth
Sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you 'til I die
'Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you
'Til the fear in me subsides
At times I'd like to break you
And drive you to your knees
At times I'd like to break through
And hold you endlessly
At times I understand you
And I know how hard you've tried
I've watched while love commands you
And I've watched love pass you by
At times I think we're drifters
Still searching for a friend
A brother or a sister
But then the passion flares again
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you 'til I die
'Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you
'Til the fear in me subsides

Stevie’s mom :
I have loved so deeply that just a touch or even just me thinking of them would give me butterflies, sadly they broke me and my heart will only ever love my children and their children.
