Vision of You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Time moves, a summer wind
I can see your face again
Was it such a tragedy
Being you, being me?
Smoke clears, the picture fades
But I stay back in yesterday
All the strangers come and go
All of them will never know

[Chorus]
Nobody's touch feels like your touch
Nobody gets to me that much
Nobody's kiss moves me inside
And I have no place left to hide
Tell me, what can I do?
I have a vision of you
Tell me, what can I do
With this vision of you?

[Verse 2]
Did I walk? Did you run?
What's the way to love someone?
Oh, my darling did we know
What it meant when we let go?
[Chorus]
Nobody's touch feels like your touch
Nobody gets to me that much
Nobody's kiss moves me inside
And I have no place left to hide
Tell me, what can I do?
I have a vision of you
Tell me, what can I do
With this vision of you?
With this vision of you

[Bridge]
How can a candle ever burn so bright
Casting a shadow on my life?
I am blinded by your light
Even without you

[Chorus]
Nobody's touch feels like your touch
Nobody gets to me that much
Nobody's kiss moves me inside
And I have no place left to hide
Tell me, what can I do?
I have a vision of you
Tell me, what can I do
With this vision of you?
With this vision of you
With this vision of you
With this vision of you
With this vision of you
