With These Hands

With these hands, I've scratched a living
From morning till night
With these hands, I held my baby tight
As he cried out in the night
Comforting him alright!
With these hands, I held you close held you tight
Over you softly, these hands have whispered
As I kissed you in the darkness of the night
These hands have touched your visage
Touched your mind your heart...
Softly whispering away into the night
These hands have wiped away your tears
As you cried in the darkness of the night
Holding on to me for life so dear...
These have has held you close to my heart
Even though you brushed them aside
But with these hands, I've touched your heart
I've touched your soul your mind with mine hands
I've touched your mind with mine
Right through the night as we held each other tight
In a vice holding me, your whispering's held me tight
Escaping not the imprisonment of your vice
With these hands, I've made you cry out
In the darkness of your night
This sense at my fingertips as I touched
And kissed your lips your eyes
Wishing you a good night sleep tight
And this sense upon your lips as I brushed
Yours with mine
Gazing into your eyes,
With these hands, I held your visage
As I touched your mind with mine...
