With these hands I will cling to you
I'm yours forever and a day
With these hands I will bring to you
A tender love as warm as May
With this heart I will sing to you
Long after stars have lost their glow
And with these hands I'll provide for you
Should there be a stormy sea
I'll turn the tide for you
And I'll never, no, I'll never let you go
(Instrumental Interlude)
With these hands I'll provide for you
Should there be a stormy sea
I'll turn the tide for you
And I'll never, no, I'll never let you go
