"Love is touching souls"
Surely you touched mine
’Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time
Oh, you’re in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweetOh I could drink a case of you darling
And I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet" - ’A Case of You’, Joni Mitchell
