Just A Touch (Live In Toronto 1983) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What in the world? Women in black
Don't you remember? Sonny's packed
A day in the life, nobody laughed
Look to the days, how long can this last? Huh

[Chorus]
Kevin heard it on the radio, Hugh informed word of mouth
Carla read it in the news, caught it all, just a touch
Touch

[Verse 2]
You set the pace, what was to come
You have to carry on now that you're gone
A day in the life, nobody laughed
Look to the days, how long can this last? Oh

[Chorus]
Kevin heard it on the radio, Hugh informed word of mouth
Carla read it in the news, caught it all, just a touch
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh

[Bridge]
There's someone in our dreams, in our pre-assemblеd dream
[Verse 3]
What in the world? Women in black
Don't you rеmember? Sonny's packed
A day in the life, nobody laughed
Look to the days, how long can this last? Huh

[Chorus]
Kevin heard it on the radio, Hugh informed word of mouth
Carla read it in the news, caught it all, just a touch
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
A touch, a touch, a touch

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
