Look Heart, No Hands
Randy Travis
The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
I remember how it used to feel Riding down old two mile hill Tennis shoes up on the handle bars Paying no mind to the passing cars No doubts, no fears, just like when you are here No chains, no strings, no fences, no wall No net, just you to catch me when I fall Look heart, no hands. It took a little time to get up to speed To find the confidence and strength I need To just let go and reach for the sky You Know sometimes it felt I could fly. No doubts, no fears, just like when you are here. No chains, no strings, no fences, no wall No net, just you to catch me when I fall Look heart, no hands. It doesn't take much, just a smile or a touch And I'm a kid again, I can almost feel that wind On one hand I count the reasons I could stay with you And hold you close to me, all night long. So many lover's games I could play with you And on that hand I see no reason why it's wrong No chains, no strings, no fences, no wall No net, just you to catch me when I fall Look heart, no hands. But on the other hand, there's a golden band To remind of someone who would not understand On one hand I could stay and be your loving man But the reason I must go is on the other hand In your arms I feel the passion, I thought had died When I looked into your eyes I found myself When I first kissed your lips I felt so alive I've got to hand it to you girl, you're something else No chains, no strings, no fences, no wall No net, just you to catch me when I fall Look heart, no hands.
