Hold My Heart In Your Hands

La la la la  la…la la la  la la la la  la…

I know… I could never live without you
But there’s so much I wanna learn about you
You know… I could spend my nights beside you
So take my hand, girl, and let me guide you

When you hold my heart in your hands
Come on, listen, baby
Can’t you feel my love?
It’s just you and me now
When you hold my heart in your hands
Don’t you know I love you?
Can’t you feel my love?
Kiss me, little darling

You know… I won’t ever let you leave me
I’ll prove my love each day so you’ll believe me
I know… you’re the only one for me, dear
Open up your heart and then you’ll see clear

When you hold my heart in your hands
Come on, listen, baby
Can’t you feel my love?
It’s just you and me now
When you hold my heart in your hands
Don’t you know I love you?
Can’t you feel my love?
Kiss me, little darling

When you hold my heart in your hands
Come on, listen, baby
Can’t you feel my love?
It’s just you and me now
When you hold my heart in your hands
Yes you do…
Can’t you feel my love?
Won’t you kiss me, little darling

Hold My Heart In Your Hands

This creative team met back in high school in Houston, Texas in 1969. They became friends quickly and discovered a unique synergy early on – songwriting. Keith manifested his expressions mostly in the area of lyrics, while Raji fashioned his creativity through melodies and arrangements.

The number of songs that they generated as young teens in a short period of time was incredible. What was even more astonishing was that neither of them could read a musical note, and yet they were able to compose lyrics, tunes, chords, beats, and develop sophisticated arrangements.

School, work, marriage, children, and associations with other bands threw them onto separate life paths. Raji continued composing with other bands and on his own, while Keith officially took a long hiatus.

The team temporarily regrouped in the early 1980’s for a few profound Christian musical offerings. Eventually, Raji found the time and energy to record many of their earlier songs and publish them – both in several of his novels and on soundcloud.com. Then in late 2021 they regrouped once more to continue their creative journey together.
