G                      Em
Heartbeat, way down on Dove Street
            C
Playing to lady luck
                  G         D
But wanting that tender touch

And fantasy is the trick of the dance you see
Hiding that need for love,
but wanting you close to me

Chorus:
D       G              C      D
Oh that one sweet and tender touch
                             G          D
That's what I'm missing and need so much
G              C      D
One sweet and tender touch

Oh the bright lights
Pretty colours that shine on all through the night
But I don't need them, not half as much

As I'm wanting your tender touch
And loneliness makes the strongest heart
a wilderness
That's wilder than you see, is wanting you
close, oh so close to me

Chorus:
For that one sweet and tender touch
That's what I'm missing and need so much
One sweet tender touch

Ooh, one sweet and tender touch
Just one sweet and tender touch
One sweet tender, sweet tender touch
