Never Laid a Hand On Your Heart - Janis Ian

I feel your heart against my hand tonight

I taste the colors of your skin

I see you tremble like a butterfly

Will you let me in?

Will you let me in?

I drink the wine that lingers in your hair

I breath your need upon the wind

I run my fingers through you everywhere,

Ready to begin — ready to begin

But I never laid a hand on your heart

Even when it tore me apart

I only took what you gave from the start

Never promised more than a dream

Wonderful as it might have seemed

I always felt there was someone else

Beside us in the dark

So I never laid a hand on your heart

I hold your restless body in my arms

Until the fever leaves your skin

I feel your heart beat underneath my palms

And I let you in. As I let you in

There is no sorrow in this heart of mine

There is no future and no past

I only hope to hold the hands of time

Long as it can last.

Long as it can last

'Cause I never laid a hand on your heart

Even when it tore me apart

I only took what you gave from the start

Never promised more than a dream

Wonderful as it might have seemed

I always felt there was someone else

Beside us in the dark

So I never laid a hand on your heart

On your heart

On your heart
