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
