(Travis Tritt/Stewart Harris)

This old world can lay so heavy on my shoulders...

And this face in my mirror keeps getting older

But no matter how much pressure's on

I can lay it down when I get home

'Cause it all just fades away when I touch you

It's the kind of love

That lingers through the ages

A firm foundation, girl, to see us through

So let the storms of life go right on ragin'

For there's calm inside my heart when I touch you

Years from now when my life's nearly over

And there's nothing more this world needs me to do

If my feeble hand's still strong enough to reach out

I can be the happy man when I touch you

It's the kind of love

That lingers through the ages

Oh, a firm foundation, girl, to see us through...

So let the storms of life go right on ragin'...

For there's calm inside my heart when I touch you...

Yes, it makes everything alright when I touch you...
