  • Have you seen the sunlight pourin' through her hair?
    Felt her warm mouth on you in the summers, yeah
    Runnin' in a field of brown
    Laughin', rollin' on the ground now
    Smilin' as she pulls you down

    That's the way she feels about you
    That's the way she feels about you

    If your dreams can wake you screaming in the night
    She can touch your face and take away your fright
    Like a tree in the meadow wind
    She will bend to take you in now
    Makes no difference of where you been

    That's the way she feels about you
    That's the way she feels about you

    If you wake up screamin'
    Scared about what you're dreamin'
    You know, she is there, she can share
    You're aware she cares about you

    In the mornin' wake up laughing with the day
    She will smile and ask you with her eyes to stay
    Like the sunshine warms the sand
    She will touch you with her hands now
    Touchin' makes you understand

    That's the way she feels about you
    That's the way she feels about you

    Like the sunlight warms the sand
    She will touch you with her hands now
    Touchin' makes you understand

    That's the way she feels about you
    That's the way she feels about you, yeah
    That's the way she feels about you

  • Stever from ArizonaTastefully paints the tasteful, beautiful, exhilarating sensuality that you have known. I've been there: out in nature, touching makes you understand, smiling as she pulls you down; like a tree in the meadow wind, she will bend to take you in ... A rite of passage that I wouldn't want any young person to miss out on.
