  • Did you ever see a man with no heart
    Baby, that was me
    Just a lonely, lonely man with no heart
    Till you set me free

    Now I can breathe
    I can see
    I can touch
    I can feel

    I can taste all the sugar sweetness in your kiss
    You give me all the things I've ever missed
    I've never felt like this
    I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

    I used to think I was living
    Baby, I was wrong
    No I never knew a thing about living
    Till you came along

    Now I can breathe
    I can see
    I can touch
    I can feel

    I can taste all the sugar sweetness in your kiss
    You give me all the things I've ever missed
    I've never felt like this
    I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

    Now I can breathe
    I can see
    I can touch
    I can feel

    I can taste all the sugar sweetness in your kiss
    You give me all the love I've ever missed
    I've never felt like this
    I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive Writer/s: RUSSELL GLYN BALLARD

  • Teresa from Mechelen, BelgiumThe Hollies, a very good band. I like their songs very much, always a pleasure to hear them again.
  • Guy from Wellington, New ZealandLove this song -- my Hollies favourite. Love the way the singer's all five senses are engaged by the subject of his affection. I can understand why the Hollies wanted to get their version out before the other group (naughty boys!). The song has an irresistible , infectious energy.
