Janis Ian - Never Laid a Hand On Your Heart lyrics

[Janis Ian - Never Laid a Hand On Your Heart lyrics]

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 breathe 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 been
I always knew there was someone else
Beside us in the dark
And 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 and 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

And I never laid a hand on your heart
Even when it tore me apart
I only took what you gave from the start
I never promised more than a dream
Wonderful as it might have seemed
I always knew there was someone else
Beside us in the dark
So I never laid a hand on your heart
On your heart on your heart
On your heart
