My Heart is in Your Hand

Soft kisses blowing in the wind
from me, to you, with love I send
across the seemingly endless sea
to distant shores so far from me

I lift my head to catch a breeze
it sweeps my face so tenderly
knocks me to my humble knees
this kiss you return on wind to me

"On bended knee in sand I pray
grant my wish some happy day
...bring my love to me
Too weak to even try to stand
on knees in sand I will remain
my heart is in your hand
be gentle with it, please"

I gaze out across the mighty sea
longing for the day when you hold me
and rock me in your arms so gently
like the ocean does these waves

I scan the horizon and believe I can see
the distant shore so far from me
a silhoutte of a man down by the sea
alone in the sand on bended knee
blowing soft kisses right back at me
...and I can almost hear him say

"On bended knee in sand I pray
grant my wish some happy day
...bring my love to me
Too weak to even try to stand
on knees in sand I will remain
my heart is in your hand
be gentle with it, please"

My vision then turns from this man
back to myself down in the sand
feeling lonely, pitying
And I cry at what I see
His loving heart is in my hand
