When I Touch the Wall   When I Touch the Wall
And I touch your name, mem'ries take me back to yesterday
Deep in my heart you're always there beside me

When I Touch the Wall    When I Touch the Wall
The Wall feels so cold but your mem'ry warms me to my soul
I'm growing old, but you'll stay young forever in my dreams

I can see that place in time... Did we know it was goodbye?
I can see us. I see us standing there
(Everything we felt reflected in our eyes) saying goodbye
Everything we felt reflected in our eyes
Can see me?  I can  see you as I reach out and touch your name
Mem'ries take me back, back to yesterday

When I Touch the Wall    When I Touch the Wall
When I touch your name, you're so close to me,
You're there beside me
You are always with me alive in my memory

I can see that place in time... Did we know it was goodbye?
I can see us. I see us standing there
(Everything we felt reflected in our eyes) saying goodbye
Everything we felt reflected in our eyes
Can you see me? I can see you
As I reach out and touch your name
I can close my eyes (When I Touch the Wall)
I see you standing there (When I Touch the Wall)
I can close my eyes and see your face,
And your eyes are smiling back at me
When I Touch the Wall...
