Hands Songtext
von John Smith

Once I loved a woman
For her body, not her mind
Soon I loved another
Who would only have me walk behind her
Once I loved a girl
But love is unreliable at best
You keep a piece and burn the rest

The best thing is to love her while you can
And better think on what you′ve done
And wonder what you might have had
The best thing would be to hold her in your hands
And then let her go


Oh, once you loved a man
For his humour, not his smile
And you dug his perseverance
He's a man you′d get into a fight for
Once you've loved a man
Love lies down and makes of you a home
It opens doors and leaves you frozen

The best thing is to love him as and when you can
And better think on what you've done
And wonder what you might have had
The best thing would be to hold him in your hands
And then let him go

Let him go
Oh, let me go
