Analysis of Touched again
Jade Monty O'Neill 1969 (Pretoria)
And when I again rest your hand in mine
After all that's said, after all this time.
When again you will feel the warmth of my touch
Then you will know what you feel and how much?
And when our eyes meet and we see love intense
With the flame still alive in the flood that we sense.
Will you face the intensity and see what I feel?
Will you love me and make my dream real?
As I know when we fall in the wildest embrace
As our hearts gallop and your body I trace.
That in climaxing clinches the moment will come
That our hearts will unite and we'll touch God as one
