  • I let my heart fall into careless hands
    Careless hands broke my heart in two
    You held my dreams like worthless grains of sand
    Careless hands don't care when dreams slip through

    I brought you joy
    And girl I loved you so
    But all that sunshine didn't make the roses grow
    If you don't change

    Someday you'll know the sorrow of careless hands
    That can't hold onto love

    I let my heart fall into careless hands
    Careless hands broke my heart in two

    You held my dreams like worthless grains of sand
    Careless hands don't care when dreams slip through
    I brought you joy
    And dear I loved you so

    But all that sunshine didn't make the roses grow
    If you don't change
    Someday you'll know the sorrow of careless hands
    That can't hold onto love

    Careless hands that can't hold onto love
    Talking 'bout those hands
    That can't hold onto love
    Talking 'bout those hands
    That can't hold onto love Writer/s: Bob Hilliard, Carl Sigman
