Touch Me

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)



Come to me when you’re feeling lonely
Come to me when you’re feeling sad
Come to me when you need some comfort
And I will be your loving Dad

When you rise in the morning touch my hands
And all day long I’ll help you stand
When you rise in the morning touch my feet
I’ll make sure you have something good to eat

And when you lie down on your bed at night
Put your hand in my side and hold on real tight
We are going to go on a trip but it’s late
So, don’t bother to pack we’ll get carried away
