Our Hearts Are Holding Hands Lyrics - Merle Haggard

We're far apart but our hearts're holding hands 

It's lonely just to sit here by myself each night 

Not knowing when I'll ever get to hold you tight 

Oh yes I have temptations and sometimes it's pretty rough 

But temptation's never strong as our sweet love 

Cause our hearts are holding hands across the miles 

Even though we're lonely we can smile 

Cause I know you're my woman 

And I know you're my man 

We're far apart but our hearts are holding hands 

Today a stranger looked my way and flashed his gold 

And said he'd buy me all the treasures I could hold 

But I took out your last letter that said you love me so 

And there I found the strength to tell him no
