In Your Hands
Cliff And Ivy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the girl in your arms is the girl in your heart,
Then you've got everything,
When you're holding the dream, you've been dreaming you'd hold,
You're as rich as a king,

So hold her tight and never let her go
Day and night let her know you love her so.
With the love of your life, spend a lifetime of love
Make her yours forevermore (key change)

8 bars guitar/piano solo

So hold her tight and never let her go
Day and night let her know you love her so.

With the love of your life, spend a lifetime of love




Make her yours forevermore...
Make her yours forevermore....

Amazing !
I can’t remember what or how I heard of you !
Maybe from Martin !
Whatever it doesn’t matter as I know now and you both have got vinyl out !
I love vinyl and hate cd , and the downloadable stuff !
I am really old school .
Did you say that you met at a Clash gig ?
I saw them on the white Riot tour and a few times afterwards .
You live in Anchorage !
I have heard of that town ! As I watch all the Alaskan programs what seem to be on tv now I find them interesting .
I also live in a street called The Anchorage !
How many albums have you had out and what labels
