Diana Ross - "Touch Me In The Morning" Live 1999

From the TV Special 'An Audience With Diana Ross' (1999)
LYRICS:
(Ron Miller/Michael Masser)

Touch me in the morning
Then just walk away
We don't have tomorrow
But we had yesterday
Hey,hey, hey
Wasn't it me who said that
Nothing good's gonna last forever?
And wasn't it me who said
Let's just be glad for the time together?
It must've been hard to tell me
That you've given all you had to give
I can understand you're feeling that way
Everybody's got their life to live
Well, I can say good-bye in the cold morning light
But I can't watch love die in
the warmth of the night
If I've got to be strong
Don't you know I need to have
tonight when you're gone?
'Till you go I need to lie here and think about
The last time that you'll touch me in the morning
Then just close the door
Leave me as you found me, empty like before
(Hey!)
Wasn't it yesterday
We used to laugh at the wind behind us?
Didn't we run away and hope
That time wouldn't try to find us (Didn't we run)
Didn't we take each other
To a place where no one's ever been?
Yeah, I really need you near me tonight
'Cause you'll never take me there again
Let me watch you go
With the sun in my eyes
We've seen how love can grow
Now we'll see how it dies
If I've got to be strong
Don't you know I need to have
tonight when you're gone?
'Till you go I need to hold you until the time
Your hands reach out and touch me in the morning
(Mornings where blue and gold and we
could feel one another living)
Then just walk away
(We walked with a dream to hold
and we could take what the world
was giving)
We don't have tomorrow,
(There's no tomorrow here,
there's only love and the time
to chase it)
But we had yesterday
(But yesterday's gone my love,
there's only now and it's time
to face it)
Touch me in the morning...

Beautiful arrangement of this song, such a classic and Diana looks great.

[konumers]

I love the full version of this song!!

[mrberryv]

@gca1011 Yes, the jazzy touches are excellent. I don't care for the original version from '73, which I find annoyingly melodramatic, so I'm glad I stumbled upon this performance. This rendition makes it more than a regular pop ballad. And Diana sounds simply wonderful.

[divalish]

I love how she moves her right leg forward and gently rocks those hips. I tried this on my man; it works!!! LOL!

[tythoward]

This is that feel good music

[fabolousity202]

Can you say AMAZING!

[DaveWollenberg]

Billboard's 340th #1 hit of the rock era. God bless ya, Miss Diana!

[gca1011]

I love this jazzy version.....she is, without s doubt, a true American national treasure. I look forward to seeing her (again) in March, 2011.

[RenMarieAustinMusic]

Yes! yes! Yes!! She sounds so good. Better with age. This song is timeless!!
