about

I first heard this song in my teens and it touched me completely - It was from the Nina Simone and PIano! album on RCA- It has been a dream come true to be able to record it with the perfect group of musicians - Tino
is playing accordion - and it just makes it all work...

lyrics

No one seems to care as much
No time to smile, laugh or cry as much
Have we lost the touch that means so much
Have we lost the human touch

No one wants to be alone
To walk or talk and sleep and weep alone
Have we lost the touch that does so much
Have we lost the human touch

Touch me now and let me know
Hold me tight so I can go
Through this misery unafraid
And really knowin' what life is all about

No one wants to live alone
Who wants to smile, laugh or cry alone
Have we lost the touch that means so much
Have we lost the human touch
Yes, yes, yes ( I'm just askin...)
