Sometimes When We Touch by Dan Hill
You ask me if I love you
And I choke on my reply
I'd rather hurt you honestly
Than mislead you with a lie
And who am I to judge you
On what you say or do?
I'm only just beginning to see the real you
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
Romance and all its strategy
Leaves me battling with my pride
But through the insecurity
Some tenderness survives
I'm just another writer
Still trapped within my truth
A hesitant prize fighter
Still trapped within my youth
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
At times I'd like to break you
And drive you to your knees
At times I'd like to break through
And hold you endlessly
At times I understand you
And I know how hard you've tried
I've watched while love commands you
And I've watched love pass you by
At times I think we're drifters
Still searching for a friend
A brother or a sister
But then the passion flares again
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

From Wikipedia:
Dan Hill (born Daniel Hill Jr, in Toronto, Ontario, on 3 June 1954 to American émigrés) is a Canadian pop singer and songwriter. He had a major hit in 1977 when he sang the song "Sometimes When We Touch", which continues to be the song for which Hill is most remembered in America.
Though he had many hits in his native Canada, further singles did not fare as well in America.
In 1987, he returned to the Billboard charts with the Top 40 hit "Can't We Try", a duet with the then-unknown Vonda Shepard, as well as the near Top 40 hit "Never Thought (That I Could Love)". He continues to record, and in the 90s, scored a stream of popular hits in Canada. In 2007 he is touring with the CBC Radio program The Vinyl Cafe.
Additional note - "Sometimes when we touched" shot up the charts quickly after its release. Many musicians & bands cite this as a deeply influential song while other view it as "another sappy love ballad". The song continues to appears on TV songs & movies and has stood the test of time, despite some harsh reviews by 70's music critics.

That is an old song by Dan Hill. It was just on VH1's 40 supersoft rock songs.
