Story Behind The Song
I was sitting at a stoplight & over heard a teacher ask her small students "now whose hand will you be holding when you cross the street?". It stuck me that this concept could be applied to a love relationship.

Lyrics
Did you really think she wanted
To know the time of day?
When she sidled up beside you
And through a glance your way?
She?s nothin? but a trixie
Lookin? for the chance to
Put her arms around you
For a one night stand romance ? (and tell me)
CHORUS : Whose hand will you be holding
When you cross the street of time?
Will you be holding hers?
When I want you holding mine? ??doodoodoodoodooo
Her eyes can see what I see
But her heart has not a clue
Cuz there?s absolutely no one
Who knows you like I do
She?ll reach into her bag of tricks
She knows by heart she?ll
Play her little game of love
How well she knows the part ? (so tell me)
CHORUS
LEAD GUITAR SOLO = ONE VERSE BACK IN ON CHORUS
She may have charms to turn your head
And be your girl not me instead
So if you let her have her way and
Come between our life today
I don?t know what I?ll do
But I?ll tell you here and now
The fantasy will fade you?ll see
And this my love I vow ---
CHORUS : Oh the hand you?ll want to hold
Across your street of time
You?ll know will not be hers
But forever will be mine---
