Hands Across The Table

Fats Domino · Other Songs - Fats Domino

Hands across the table while the lights are low

Though you blush, your lips, your fingertips

Tell me what I want to know



[Chorus:]

Hands across the table meet so gently

And they say in their little way

That you belong to me



[Chorus]
