auntie robin, you're the best

for my friend, b

i'm holding your heart

in the palm of my hand-

like a treasure with strings 

of pearls and shining diamonds

i'm holding your heart 

in the palm of my hand-

beating as it does

alone in the night

i'm holding your heart

in the palm of my hand-

weeping like rain

as the mystery unfolds

i'm holding your heart

in the palm of my hand-

holding it high

to the night

and the fierceness

of blue visions

i'm holding your heart

in the palm of my hand-

and listening as it speaks

from far, far away

i'm holding your heart

in the palm of my hand-

seeing courage

and faith

keeping it close, close

to mine
