Lyrics:

The woman in my dream, too beautiful to touch
And I'm afraid to speak, I may say too much
Then I'll begin to plead and I'll begin to pray
And show the fool I am and she'll just run away

Chorus:
I turn to my guitar and touch her silver strings
Oh, the more I hurt, the prettier she sings
I live on the Earth and love is on a star
If I can't have love, I'll turn to my guitar

The lovers from my past have vanished in the wind
But they come to my room to see my now and then
The kiss me on the cheek and tell me 'Please don't cry.'

They say they love me still and then they say goodbye

Chorus:
You hold me to the fire and you read me like a book
I'm older than I act and younger than I look
And knowing me so well, you know it's no surprise
To see it isn't love but pity in your eyes

Chorus:
