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   Then I took out your last letter where you wrote you love me so   And there I found the strenght to tell him no      Cause our hearts are holding hands...   And come what may our hearts are holding hands
