If I Could Touch You

Legal stuff: Inspired by Joss Whedon's Angel & Buffy, 'Buffy the
Vampire Slayer', belonging to 20th Century Fox, The WB Television
Network, and Mutant Enemy. Didn't create 'em, got nothing to do with
them, wish I did. Otherwise, it's (c) me. Same deal with re-posting; if
you want to, go ahead, so long as it carries my name as copyright
holder and these messages, and you let me know.

Gimmicky promo stuff: This song is from Angel's point of view, based on
what I've heard is happening in the USA right now (Australia is waaaay
behind). Look out for its counterpart, 'Angel', which is from Buffy's
point of view around the episode 'Surprise'. Also, my first 'Buffy'
fanfic, 'Atherlae'. Now showing on a 'Buffy' page near you. Coming
soon, my second 'Buffy' fanfic 'There Can Be Only One', and my third,
'A Night To Remember'.

Special note (!!!!!!!!!): Anybody interested in writing music to this
or its counterpart, we should talk. But it IS a ballad - keep it soft.

Verse 1:
The alleyways grow narrower as I wander through the night,
And I can't come any closer to the one light in my life,
I'm burning with the passion every time I see your face,
But if I held you I might lose control, so take your hands away,
Please don't let your life be mine, (don't come any closer,)
I've already crossed the line,
        
Chorus:
If I could touch you one more time without falling in love again,
If I could breathe you in tonight and still be sane,
If I could look at you just once without needing you, then
Maybe I wouldn't have to go away,
But I love you too much to stay,
        
Verse 2
I can't help but need you, and you know it hurts so bad
To know you're my deliverance, but the one thing I can't have,
I'm giving in to passion, so I turn my eyes away,
And you hate me for leaving you, but it's the only way,
You can't let your life be mine, (don't come any closer,)
I've already crossed the line,
        
Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
I'll love you for eternity,
So I can't be by your side,
Don't make me look at you,
Just let this be goodbye,

Repeat Chorus

Ending:
I'll love you for eternity,
Goodbye...
Goodbye...
