I have seen the girl, I have touched the hand
She has smiled the smile that saves
She is heaven sent, she makes a man repent
Of his childish, solitary ways
Witness me
When I see her face, I slip away
To a better place, a brighter day
And when she speaks to me, it's like a song
Better than the ones I sing and twice as strong
And when she sleeps at night, she gets so warm
She could melt away the bitter storm
And when she rises, it's a perfect thing
Raining daylight down on everything
I have seen the girl, I have touched the hand
She has smiled the smile that saves
She is heaven sent, she makes a man repent
Of his childish, solitary ways
Mercy me
And I might be the biggest con of all
I ain't too handsome, and I ain't too tall
But she has given everything to me
Is this providence or thievery?
I have seen the girl, I have touched the hand
She has smiled the smile that saves
She is heaven sent, she makes a man repent
Of his childish, solitary ways
Lonely days in this lonely house was wasting me away
All I had was this dirty job to do
She has brought a deeper kind of meaning to my days
She changed my point of view
I have seen the girl, I have touched the hand
She has smiled the smile that saves
She is heaven sent, she makes a man repent
Of his childish, solitary ways
I have seen the girl, I have touched the hand
She has smiled the smile that saves
She is heaven sent, she makes a man repent
Of his childish, solitary ways
