My Hand To God Lyrics

Words by Terry Taylor Music by Daniel Amos ©1995 Twitchen Vibes Music (ASCAP) There's a displacement in the air Someone else is breathing Tonight could be the night I think I may be leaving There's a slight pressure in my ear Something here is moving Never seen the moon so big and bright Or had a dream this strangely soothing It's good you're sleeping, baby I won't wake you, sweetheart My hand to God I believe this is true Beyond the dark gate I see here now I'll be waiting for you All we've dreaded and hoped for is here What we both welcome and fear I pray you don't despair I'll always be near My hand to God, my hand to God We've both embraced the sobering truth: It's a world without happy endings Now it's as if the film has stopped And real life is just beginning You know I love you, sweetheart See you again soon, baby Well, it's easier than I thought it would be My chest is full and singing with blood You're the only reason I hesitate But, it's like swimming against a flood Be strong, sweetheart Won't be long now, baby
