Merle Haggard - Our Hearts Are Holding Hands lyrics

We're far apart but our hearts are holding hands It's lonely just to sit here by myself each night Not knowing when I'll ever get to hold you tight Oh yes, I have temptations and 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 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 that said you love me so And there I found the strenght to tell him no '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 And come what may our hearts are holding hands
