Timmy Thomas
(Dying Inside) To Hold You
[Verse 1]
It's turning out just another day
I took a shower and I went on my way
I stopped there as usual
Had a coffee and pie
When I turned to leave
I couldn't believe my eyes
Standing there I didn't know what to say
Without one touch
We stood there face to face

[Chorus]
(And) I was dying inside to hold you
I couldn't believe what I felt for you
Dying inside, I was dying inside
But I couldn't bring myself to touch you

[Verse 2]
You said hello then you asked my name
I didn't know if I should go all the way
Inside, I felt my life have really changed
I knew that it would never be the same
Standing there, I didn't know what to say
First time, looked away when I whispered your name

[Chorus]
(And) I was dying inside to hold you
I couldn't believe what I felt for you
Dying inside, I was dying inside
But I couldn't bring myself to touch you
(And) I was dying inside to hold you
I couldn't believe what I felt for you
Dying inside I was dying inside
But I couldn't bring myself to touch you

[Bridge]
One hello changed my life
I didn't believe in love at first sight
But you've shown me what is life
And now I know my love (I know it's coming right)

[Chorus]
(And) I was dying inside to hold you
I couldn't believe what I felt for you
Dying inside, I was dying inside
But I couldn't bring myself to touch you
