A self-portrait

This song is on the album: What’s the Point?

Hold My Hand

This song is just an expression of how it is with Giselle. She is a hand-holder. The first time I met her and we spent a week+ together, we travelled all around Rio. She held my hand the whole time. And, I wondered the whole time… does she think I will get lost or does she already like me? The answer is kind of neither. It is who she is in a relationship.

In the six years since, we never walk together without holding hands. I now feel somehow abandoned if her hand is not in mine.

For some reason, I can’t find a written record of this song’s chords. You figure it out!

Your hand in mine as we walk side by side
Is worth all the time it took to have our Worlds collide
And the look in your eyes when we lie down at night
Is worth all the time we took to make sure love was right
Yes it is

I promise you every day and night to love you as you deserve
Everything I have is yours. I hold no reserve.

The smile on your face and laughter in your voice
Take my heart and make me yours. I had no choice.

The things you say and do are like love heaven-sent
The way you are with me is more than I ever dreamt
Yes it is.

I promise you this my love, there’s no more you need to do.
I have no want for anything. I am rich because of you.
Yes I am.

I can’t imagine my World without you near
In my heart and memories, this will never end
Tomorrow may bring sunshine or it may bring rain
To hearts in love it’s no concern. It’s all the same.

So, hold my hand day and night and let me see your eyes
Smile and laugh and talk to me. Give me one more surprise.

So, hold my hand day and night and let me see your eyes
Smile and laugh and talk to me. Give me one more surprise.
