Touch me
Touch the hand of a man 
Who once owned all the world

And touch me 
Touch the arms That once held all the charms
Of the world's sweetest girl

Touch me
Maybe someday you may Need to know 
How it feels when you lose

So touch me
And you will know how you'd feel 
With the blues

Watch me
Watch the eyes that have seen 
All the heartache and pain in the land

And be thankful 
That you're happy though standing so close 
To the world's bluest man

Don't forget me
Take a good look at someone who's lost 
Everything he can lose

And then touch me 
And you'll know how you'd feel with the blues

Don't forget me
Take a good look at someone who's lost 
Everything he can lose

Then touch me 
And you'll know how you'd feel with the blues

Willie Nelson

Willie Hugh Nelson (pronounced /wɪli nɛlsən /; born April 30, 1933) is an American country music singer-songwriter, as well as an author, poet, actor, and activist. The critical success of the album Shotgun Willie (1973), combined with the critical and commercial success of Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Stardust (1978), made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music. He was one of the main figures of outlaw country, a subgenre of country music that developed at the end of the 1960s as a reaction to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound. Nelson has acted in over 30 films, co-authored several books, and has been involved in activism for the use of biofuels and the legalization of marijuana. more »
