Gentle friend, I’ll be with you til the end – and then . . .
if you get there before I do
try to remember what we’ve been through
please touch me now and then with tender loving care
for I’d miss the warmth of your body from way out there . . .
Chorus: I know when loved ones die . . .
no one ever leaves
but our bodies are a treasure we receive
and the language of love through your body flow
lifts me when I’m feelin’ low
your loving touch releases me to flow
You’ve seen my pain, and I’ve seen plenty of yours
we’ve shed our tears as loved ones come and go
we’ve cried and laughed and sighed
at times we wanted to die
sometimes we with eagles soared . . .
and other times wondered why we signed up for the course
Chorus:
I know when loved ones die . . .
no one ever leaves
but our bodies are a treasure we receive
and the language of love through your body flow
lifts me when I’m feelin’ low
your loving touch releases me to flow
Gentle friend I’ll be with you til the end – and then . . .
if you get there before I do
try to remember what we’ve been through
please touch me now and then with tender loving care
for I’d miss the warmth of your body from way out there . . .
for I’d miss the warmth of your body from way out there . . .
if you get there before I do
try to remember what we’ve been through
please touch me now and then with tender loving care
for I’d miss the warmth of your body from way out there . . .
Chorus: I know when loved ones die . . .
no one ever leaves
but our bodies are a treasure we receive
and the language of love through your body flow
lifts me when I’m feelin’ low
your loving touch releases me to flow
You’ve seen my pain, and I’ve seen plenty of yours
we’ve shed our tears as loved ones come and go
we’ve cried and laughed and sighed
at times we wanted to die
sometimes we with eagles soared . . .
and other times wondered why we signed up for the course
Chorus:
