Lyrics

Touch me in the (D)morn ing.

Then just walk a (D)way.

(A7)We don’t have to (D)mor row,

but we had yes ter (C)day.

Was n’t it me who said that noth in’ (G)good’s gon na last for ev (A7)er?

And was n’t it me who said let’s just be (G)glad for the time to geth er?

Must ’ve been hard to tell me, that you’ve giv en all you had to give.

I can un der stand your feel in’ that way.

Ev ’ry bod y’s got their life to live.

Well, I can say good bye in the (F#m)cold morn ing (Bm)light.

But I can watch love die in the (F#m)warmth of the (Bm)night.

(G)If I’ve (F#7)got to be strong, don’t you know I need to (G)have to night when you’re gone?

Till you go I need to lie here and (A)think a bout, the last time that you’ll (Em7)touch me in the (D)morn ing.

This page shows “Touch Me In The Morning” by Diana Ross in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of D at 120 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.

Tips for parents & teachers

  • Start at 50% tempo using the BPM control. Speed up only when your child can play through without stopping.
  • Turn on the metronome from the top bar to build steady rhythm.
  • Use the segmented OFF / C / 1 button to toggle note labels on the staff and keys — kids learn note names faster with letters showing.
  • Tap a measure number on the timeline to jump to a specific section for repeat practice.
