Our Hearts Are Holding Hands

(Bill Anderson)

Merle Haggard & Bonnie Owens



We're far apart but our hearts're 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...
