Rebecca Lindsey Holding Hands lyrics

Verse 1
She was just a little girl,
She always held her Mama's hand,
She felt so safe and warm, wrapped around her finger,
She grew up in just a minute
She said she knows what it's about – she let go of Mama's hand
She's got it all figured out

Chorus 1
‘Cause holding hands is for little girls
But holding hands in this great big world is what Mommy's do best
Holding hands is for little girls
And Mama's gotta let her go – Mama's gotta let her go
But one day, she knows I'll understand
That holding hands, is for more
Then little girls

Verse 2
She's at college now
Following her plans
She felt so proud and free, fulfilling her dreams
She'd call and talk to Mom
She said she's doing fine – and rushed her off the line
She's got it all figured out


(Chorus 1)

Verse 3
Today she's
Gettin' married
And she's longing for her Mom
She missed her warm embrace
It's written all over her face
That she had been so wrong – She felt it for so long
And I hope you'll understand
Hurtin' you wasn't part of the plan

Chorus 2
‘Cause holding hands is how you love me
‘Cause holding hands in this great big world is what Mommy's do best
Holding hands – just for you and me
And Mama's gotta let her go – Mama's gotta let her go
But one day, she knew I'd understand
That holding hands, is for more
Then little girls
