The Way I Loved You Best

(album: Don't Let Me Touch You - 1977)

I'd give anything to feel again
The warmness of your body close to mine
Like the foggy dew that drifts away
A love we knew drifted away with time
I'd give anything to feel again
The warmness of your face upon my chest
Lord, I'd love to hear you whisper, once again
You like the way I loved you best

Oh, it's not your fault that you're not here
I and I can't take the blame, Lord knows I tried
I did everything that I could do
I wasn't man enough to satisfy
You were just too much a woman
But the urge to love you keeps my mind from rest
Lord, I'd love to hear you whisper, once again
You like the way I loved you best

And if I never have the pleasure of your love again
I'll always have my dreams
But the drive to love you wakes me
In the middle of the nighttime and it seems
I can almost feel the wetness of your warm
And salty tears upon my chest
Lord, I'd love to hear you whisper, once again
You like the way I loved you best
Lord, I'd love to hear you whisper, once again
You like the way I loved you best
