Alas, the second song that I am singing with Orchestra is named "The Tender Touch." It is a song that was never released for popular use. Instead, it is a part of the private Nelson Riddle library, and it was especially written for a girl named Sandy, yet.. none of us know who this Sandy girl is, but damn is she lucky to have this song written for her. God knows how Dr. Clements found it, but I am so grateful that he did. This song contains some of the most beautiful lyrics I have ever heard in my life. The detail, the diction (effects of english 4 Ap. cut me some slack). absolutely amazing. Paints pictures in your mind that are hard for you to forget. So here goes.

"The Tender Touch"

What makes the rosebud tingle to the kiss of the bee,

what makes a lover mingle all his thoughts with ecstasy,

what makes a kiss like yours reveal the world to me,

the tender touch. 

What starts the night birds sighing to the glow of a star,

what makes him think that heaven's really not very far,

why does my heart start flying to the place where you are?

The tender touch. 

I know now why the gentle things are the simple sentimental things,

and why every touch of you thrills me sweetly, through and through. 

What makes a moonbeam glisten in that someone's misty eye?

What makes that someone listen to her every gentle sigh?

What makes our hearts whisper of a love that never dies?

The tender touch.

Hopefully, you all enjoy these enticing lyrics as i do.
