When Holding My Hand

In my singing days, I used to come up with some of the weirdest lyrics that would pop up in my head and put a melody to them and the rest would be history...yet I used to put so much pressure on every lyric and then I would be asking myself,

"What if everyone hates it? What if I don't make sense? Then I won't ever want to make another song again!"

This is what happens when "ART" is involved in a daily life! Although, now, I'm so much better with balancing my thoughts and especially most aspects of my crafts! Just the other day I had mentioned it to 2 of my good friends that I was wanting to get back to writing another set of original songs and record them...as one of them put it, "That takes up a lot of your time"...she's right...then again, if I go slowly...I can take my time and put out something worth while and worth listening to...

So now, here is the first of many songs that will be coming to LIFE hopefully sooner than later...

Enjoy everyone!

When Holding My Hand

You say that it's a better place

To linger in my heart,

You say it's a comfort 

You don't feel 'torn apart'

Then as you get what you need,

You follow your path with LIFE

As it should be.

One day 

I will show you LOVE

When Holding My Hand,

One day,

I will give you LOVE

When Holding My Hand

One Day.

Your smile says a thousand words

It speaks to my heart,

I didn't know what was

Until you gave it a jump start,

Now, it needs you 

Like a night sky to the stars,

I can still see you shine

No matter how far you are.

One day 

I will show you LOVE

When Holding My Hand,

One day,

I will give you LOVE

When Holding My Hand,

What will come of us 

Only time will say and show

When Holding My Hand,

One day.

I better say it now

Before LOVE shows up,

I better live it now

Before 'the goin' get's tough',

Though all I know,

All I can show,

Is what you'll feel

When Holding My Hand.
