This old life seemed much too long
With little point in going on
I couldn't think of what to say
Words just vanished in the haze
I was feeling cold and tired
Yeah, kinda sad and uninspired
When it almost seemed too much
I see your face
And sense the grace
And feel the magic of your touch

(Oh, lay your hands)
Lay your hands on me
(Oh, lay your hands)
Whoo-oo-oo-oo
(Oh, lay your hands)
Oh, lay your hands on me

Back and forth across the sea
I have chased so many dreams
But I have never felt the grace
That I have felt in your embrace
I was tired and I was cold
Yeah, with a hunger in my soul
When it almost seemed too much
I see your face
And sense the grace
And feel the magic of your touch

(Oh, lay your hands)
Lay your hands on me
(Oh, lay your hands)
Whoo-oo-oo-oo
(Oh, lay your hands)
Oh, lay your hands on me

---- Instrumental Interlude ----

Now you made me feel so good
Yeah, like I never ever thought I would
You know you make me feel so strong
And now our laughter just goes on
So c'mon lay your hands on me
'Cause close to you is where I really wanna be
And if it ever gets too much
I see your face
And sense the grace
And feel the magic in our touch

(Oh, lay your hands)
Lay your hands on me
(Oh, lay your hands)
Whoo-oo-oo-oo
(Oh, lay your hands)
Oh-oh-oh, lay your hands on me
