Verse When’s the last time I have whispered
With my head beside your ear?
When’s the last time I have seen you
And your whole face could appear?
When’s the last time I have smiled
And have no mask to interfere?
Chorus There’s a tender place for joy
Hidden underneath the void
Touch it and the tears will come again
Waiting for the day to come
When we don’t need to feel so numb
The sorrows of this troubled time will end
Verse When’s the last time I embraced you
With no thought that I should fear?
When’s the last time I could breathe
And always trust the atmosphere?
When’s the last time I have laughed
So both my eyes were filled with tears?
Chorus There’s a tender place for joy
Hidden underneath the void
Touch it and the tears will come again
Waiting for the day to come
When we don’t need to feel so numb
The sorrows of this troubled time will end
Bridge There is too much grief
We need some relief
Hold me close, I’ll try to cry
In this tender place
In your sweet embrace
Hold me close, my eyes are dry
Verse When’s the last time I had words
To make a worry disappear?
When’s the last time I was fine
And you could know I was sincere?
When’s the last time I could weep
Like there’s no end to all my tears?
Chorus There’s a tender place for joy
Hidden underneath the void
Touch it and the tears will come again
Waiting for the day to come
When we don’t need to feel so numb
The sorrows of this troubled time will end
The sorrows of this troubled time will end
The sorrows of this troubled time will end
