The Touch of Your Hand

Leo Reisman

Words by Otto Harbach and music by Jerome Kern.



Introduced by Tamara and William Hain in the nusical "Roberta."



You and I throughout a summer day

Have walked a sunlit way

Or stopped to play.

You and I have wandered hand in hand

Throughout a happy land

That we had planned.

I had hoped that our way might end

Where the sky and blue horizon blend.

Yet we've both walked our one last mile,

It's goodbye for awhile.

When you shall see flowers that lie on the plain,

Lying there sighing for one touch of rain;

Then you may borrow,

Some glimpse of my sorrow,

And you'll understand

How I long for the touch of your hand.



From: Gloria "Montcomags"
