Touch me lightly on the heart
Gently, softly, please don't push
And pressure me where I can't loose
A belt, suspender, noose.
Please touch me light upon the heart.
Don't weaken or let me see a sigh
In my direction. Be nice? That it would
Be if aimed at me; a sigh! If you should,
Do you think or hope or wish you could,
In my direction, pass a sigh...?
Your hand is heavy now its relaxed.
Pain's not far away.
Don't touch the heart so strong I say
You never know just when I may
Begin to get relaxed.
Touch me warm upon the mind.
Yes, you, stranger, I don't mind.
