Will I Be Afraid to Touch Her Tonight?

Will I be afraid to touch her tonight?
Will she welcome my warm, soft, touch,
Or turn hard, and cold, as ice?
Lord knows how much I love her.
I’ll love her until I die.
Will I be afraid to touch her tonight?

When she was just a young girl, someone swept her life away.
The innocence that he stole can never be replaced.
Noone dared believe her, they all lived behind a lie.
Will I be afraid to touch her tonight?

She screams, “You just don’t understand!”
And sometimes, Lord she’s right.
Why must I pay for his mistake, night after night.
Why can’t she see that I’m not him,
Can’t she see it in my eyes?
Will I be afraid to touch her tonight?

Will I be afraid to touch her tonight?
Will she welcome my warm, soft, touch,
Or turn hard and cold as ice?
God knows how much I love her,
I’ll love her until I die.
Will I be afraid to touch her tonight?

Will I be afraid to touch her tonight?
