Touch

I don't want to sleep now,

my mind is tired and my body is weak.

I can hear the children's voices -

Was it so long ago?

If I could reach out my arms

to touch them now,

I would give you every tear my heart has cried.

I would give them all the love I have,

so deep ,and so wide.

If I could just touch them now.

I don't want to sleep now.

When I sleep you are with me again.

You ,the deceiver who stole my dreams.

You wrapped them in their little coats,

tied their shoes and stole away.

If I could reach with my arms

and touch them now,

I would give you every tear my heart has cried.

I would give them all my love,

so deep and wide.

If I could touch them now.
