A Woman’s Touch
I lie awake beside you
No thought of tomorrow
And you just hold me close
The whole night through
I’m learning to love
And the meaning of
This one thing I always knew
A woman’s touch can give so much
When nothing else will do
It was there for me
When I first saw a ray of light
It’ll be there when I close these eyes
To one last peaceful night
I know I’ll be richer man
When I give it all to you
A woman’s touch can give so much
When nothing else will do
You might say I’m just
A sad, romantic fool
That’s just a chance I’ll take on you
I know I’ll be a richer man
When I give it all to you

I suppose every man at one time or another has been inspired to write,
paint, sculpt or in some other way create an homage to all the women in
his life.
As a man, as a human being, how I could I not acknowledge
the debt of admiration and gratitude I owe to all the women in my life —
from the mother who gave birth to me to the woman who is now my life partner?
I wrote this one in 1992, when I was newly divorced and I
was seeing other women again. It occurred to me that, however each relationship
began or ended, each one left me a better man.
