Story Behind The Song

Written after tour in Northern California in 2004.

Song Description

Missing someone close to me after spending time together in Redwood area of CA.

Lyrics

The strength that grows within our souls
Is a gift that we must keep
Hold on to it for all that we?re worth
And this connection has roots that run so deep
Like the Redwood tree into to the very earth
The branches spread so vast and wide
As they cast their shade
The morning mist drifts across the land
And this bond of love we share
It will never fade
You know you hold my heart in your hand
I hated to see you disappear through that gate
I stood and stared until you were gone
There were so many things I should have said
But it was too late
I tried to see what plane you were on
The wings they spread so vast and wide
As they cast their shade
The sound of the engines filled the land
And this bond of love we share
It will never fade
You know you hold my heart in your hand
I won?t forget the way we walked and ran into the night.
I won?t forget the way you made me feel
I won?t forget the way it felt to hold your hand so tight
It was so meaningful and so real.
And the darkness spread so vast and wide.
The moon cast its shade.
The cold wind blew across the land.
This bond of love we share
It will never fade.
You know you hold my heart in your hand.
