Lyrics
I walked through the valley
Around corners of my life
I?ve seen colors beautiful beaming light
That was only a prelude
For the one who was to come
Merely practice learning to recognize love
Your handful of pearls becomes
A fistful of sand
That?s the way it?s been
SINCE I FIRST HELD HER HAND
There?s a harvest beneath a harvest moon
A season ending feast
She is the bounty of autumn?s gentle peace
Don?t tempt me with your scepter
Or entice me with your throne
Keep all those tokens
I got a fortune of my own
Glory and treasure
Come to those who wait
A new beginning never comes too late
Now gold is just a color
Holding no command
Nothing compares
SINCE I FIRST HELD HER HAND
Nothing compares
SINCE I FIRST HELD HER HAND
