We're far apart but our hearts are holding hands Yes it's hard to sit here by myself each night Not knowing where you are or when I'll hold you tight Yes I have temptations sometimes it's pretty rough But temptation's never strong as our sweet love Cause our hearts are holding hands across the miles Even though we're lonely we can smile Cause I know you're my woman and I know you're my man We're far apart but our hearts are holding hands [ steel ] Today a stranger looked my way and flashed his gold And said he'd buy me all the treasures I could hold But I took out your last letter where you wrote you love me so And there I found the strength to tell him no Cause our hearts are holding hands... And come what may our hearts are holding hands
