Story Behind The Song
I had been living with a man for a year and we fit hand in glove from the first date . He wanted to take another step and I was unsure of the future and yet felt very sure of us and this song bubbled out in one piece .
Song Description
What makes one person mesh with another as if they've always been there? Love is examined like a pro and con list of events and feelings through three verses . 1.How the tears were shed in the past but now it's easier with this new love , 2. Is this the partner for her ? 3. comparing everyone else's love to her love . ...and still the repeating chorus of how there's always something intangible in the touch .

Lyrics
THE WAY YOU TAKE MY HAND
It's partly in the way
That they say that's how it goes
It's partly in the way
That a lover always knows
It's something in the air
That makes it better than you
Ever thought it could be
It's something in the way you take my hand
I'm trying to make some sense of it all
Am I learning to love or am I starting to fall
I'm feeling independant and strong
Yet I feel myself drawn, is it where I belong (chorus)
Love was a reward and a source of the fears
It was earned with a goodness
But then payed for in tears
But everything seems easy with you
Could it be our good times were just over due (chorus)
Everyone you see is in love when you're alone
Singles seem so free when you've got
Someone waiting at home
But I envy not the ways that I have been
These are the happiest days I've ever seen (chorus)
