HANDS ACROSS THE BORDER
(Ned Washington / Hoagy Carmichael) (1943)

Roy Rogers


Hands across the border,
Hands that reach my heart are stirring tender memories;
And the touch of them will haunt me forever,
Dream so much of them I'm never at ease;
I've held your hands across the border,
Since we've been apart;
But now I want to see things through
Back where dreams are made to order in our old rendezvous,
Hands across the border, calling me to you.
