In these two hands you'll find compassion
In these two hands you'll find kindness
I remember when we walked to town that evening
You were looking for your homeless friend
Your eyes grew wide with delight as you saw him round the bend
You said “Hey Charlie, would you like a smoke?”
and he said “My name's Bob”
But I remember you Maria, oh sweet Maria
For I was thirsty and you placed
your ice cold Dr. Pepper can
in these two hands
Well I remember the night when we went to the town pub
We drank until our hearts were merry
We laughed at a man who was yelling at the band
He'd had one too many
As we left the bar you saw him sitting in his car
and he turned to you and said...
Well he said nothing, he could barely even talk or walk
let alone drive anywhere
You pleaded for hours with that man
until he placed the keys to his big blue sedan
in these two hands
I confess I am captivated by your beauty
But it's your heart, not you lips
that keeps me comin' round
My heart says forever
My head says as long as I possibly can
I'm gonna wait right here
until you're ready to place that heart
in these two hands
