Hands

THEY’VE BEEN BATTERED

THEY’VE BEEN BRUISED

THEY’VE BEEN BROKEN

THEY'VE BEEN ABUSED

BUT THESE TWO HANDS

WON'T STEAR YOU WRONG

AND I PROMISE WHEN YOU NEED THEM BABY

THEY’LL ALWAYS BE STRONG

I'LL LIFT YOU UP AND DUST YOU OFF

POINT THE WAY WHEN YOU GET LOST

HOLD YOU CLOSE AND PULL YOU IN

RUN MY FINGERS ON YOUR SKIN

HOW CAN I MAKE YOU UNDERSTAND

YOU'RE THE STRENGTH INSIDE THIS MAN

BEST THING THESE HANDS COULD EVER DO

IS KEEP ON HOLDIN ONTO YOU

SMOOTH AND GENTLE

SOFT AND KIND

YOU SANDED OFF MY EDGES

HELPED ME WALK A STRAIGHTER LINE

TWO HANDS TOGETHER STRONGER THAN ONE

YOURS IN MINE AND MINE IN YOURS

UNTIL OUR DAYS ARE DONE

I'LL LIFT YOU UP AND DUST YOU OFF

POINT THE WAY WHEN YOU GET LOST

HOLD YOU CLOSE AND PULL YOU IN

RUN MY FINGERS ON YOUR SKIN

GIRL I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND

YOU'RE THE STRENGTH INSIDE THIS MAN

BEST THING THESE HANDS COULD EVER DO

IS KEEP ON HOLDIN ONTO YOU

HOLDIN ON TO YOU

FROM OUR WEDDING DAY

TILL WE'RE OLD AND GRAY

IM GONNA HOLD YOUR HAND IN MINE

GIRL UNTIL THE END OF TIME

LIFT YOU UP AND DUST YOU OFF

POINT THE WAY WHEN YOU GET LOST

HOLD YOU CLOSE AND PULL YOU IN

RUN THROUGH HELL AND BACK AGAIN

GIRL I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND

YOU'RE THE STRENGTH INSIDE THIS MAN

BEST THING THESE HANDS COULD EVER DO

IS KEEP ON HOLDIN ONTO YOU

HOLDIN ON TO YOU

THEY'VE BEEN BATTERED

THEY'VE BEEN BRUISED

BUT THESE TWO HANDS

KEEP HOLDIN ON TO YOU
