Dolly Parton — The Tender Touch of Love

I've felt the sturdy hand of fate upon me And I've felt the stings of love's burning pain And I've felt the happiness of those around me But I've never felt the touch of love's sweet hand The tender touch of love and understanding That makes your body trembling with true love They say oh that words could not describe it Oh but I've never felt the tender touch of love Though I've felt needy hands say "I love you" But when the need is gone, they turn away And leave my heart with emptiness inside it The hands of hurting touch the empty place I've never felt the touch of understanding That makes your body tremble with true love They say [?] could not describe it But I've never felt the tender touch of love Oh no I've never felt the tender touch of love
