Until you, I never knew the healing power of touch

I was focused on doing life

I was looking for the success I wanted

I had no time to stop and sit with people

Then I met you and everything changed

*

Until you, I never knew the healing power of touch

I could feel your eyes follow me around

I could sense your interest in me

I could feel the watching over me

When I met you everything changed

*

Until you, I never knew the healing power of touch

It was never very big things

It was never overt gestures

It was never fancy words or places

When I met you everything changed

*

Until you, I never knew the healing power of touch

You held my hand and I instantly calmed

You held my hand and peace descended

You held my hand and my mind stopped racing

When I met you everything changed

*

Until you, I never knew the healing power of touch

Your gaze was direct and never wavered

Your eyes challenged me to be honest and true

Your look was playful and stern

When I met you everything changed

*

Until you, I never knew the healing power of touch

I learnt that a smile could be felt

I understood that a smile could speak volumes

I believed that a smile changes everything

When I met you everything changed

*

Until you, I never knew the healing power of touch

You hugged me and I lost my breath

You hugged me and my words failed for a second

You hugged me and held on tight

When I met you everything changed

*

Until you, I never knew the healing power of touch

You hugged me and my world righted

You hugged my and my heart healed

You hugged me and I found my home

When I met you everything changed

*

Until you, I never knew the healing power of touch

Your touch rearranged my life

Your touch transformed my perspectives

Your touch was my gift from heaven

Your touch was my healing

When I met you everything changed

*

Until you, I never knew the healing power of touch
