On The Other Hand

Album: Storms Of Life (1985)

  • On one hand I count the reasons I could stay with you
    And hold you close to me, all night long
    So many lover's games I could play with you
    And on that hand I see no reason why it's wrong

    But on the other hand, there's a golden band
    To remind of someone who would not understand
    On one hand I could stay and be your loving man
    But the reason I must go is on the other hand

    In your arms I feel the passion, I thought had died
    When I looked into your eyes I found myself
    When I first kissed your lips I felt so alive
    I've got to hand it to you girl, you're something else

    But on the other hand, there's a golden band
    To remind of someone who would not understand
    On one hand I could stay and be your loving man
    But the reason I must go is on the other hand Writer/s: Don Schlitz, Paul Overstreet
