Ernest Tubb and Loretta Lynn – Our Hearts Are Holding Hands Lyrics
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
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 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 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
GENIUS
