Keep My Hand Lyrics

There's thorns among the roses and thorns among the berries

Just gotta mind our way as we pick a basketful to carry, and

There are rivers to ford and shadows moving across the way

But I got a rope and I got a light, and we can't make time stay

So keep my hand darlin

Keep my hand tight

Pray you keep my hand darlin

For a long long time

Now there's no rush darlin, we'll take the long way ahead

We've many pages to write before our story's read

We'll bolt right through the hollers and linger on the hilltops

Dance our way through the meadows and love till our hearts stop

So keep my hand darlin

Keep my hand tight

Pray you keep my hand darlin

For a long long time

Be my Bonnie and I'll be your Clyde

And just like David we'll slay Goliath

You take the left, I'll take the right

Don't let nothin' slip in behind us

So keep my hand darlin

Keep my hand tight

Pray you keep my hand darlin

For a long long time

If ever there's a time when you stumble or lose your way

I'll be there to catch you and this is what I'll say

Just keep my hand darlin

Keep my hand tight

Pray you keep my hand darlin

For a long long time
