HAND IN HAND (Pete Ham)
[from 7 Park Avenue CD - recorded 1970 - released U.S. 1997]
[from 7 Park Avenue remastered CD - recorded 1970 - released Japan 1999]

Don't want perfection
As long as it's you
Want a reflection
Just as long as you do

Can't you see the rainbow
Waiting 'round the corner?
Don't you understand?

We gotta move together
Gotta do it hand in hand

Know it ain't easy
And no one's to blame
If you can't please me
Well, that ain't no shame

But can't you see the rainbow
Waiting 'round the corner?
Don't you understand?

We gotta move together
Gotta do it hand in...
Gotta move together
Gotta do it hand in...
Gotta move together
Gotta do it hand in hand
In my hand
Yes, my hand
Take my hand

So, just think it over
And give it a try
And if you don't make it
I guess you'll know why

If you can't see the rainbow
Waiting 'round the corner
You don't understand

We gotta move together
Gotta do it hand in...
Gotta move together
Gotta do it hand in...
Gotta move together
Gotta do it hand in hand
In my hand
Yes, my hand
Take my hand.

HAND IN HAND (alternate version in a higher key) (Pete Ham)
[from "Acoustic" - recorded 1970 - released 2025]

Don't want perfection
As long as it's you
Don't want a reflection
Just as long as you do

Can't you see the rainbow
Waiting 'round the corner?
Don't you understand?

We gotta move together
Gotta do it hand in hand

I know it ain't easy
And no one's to blame
And if you can't please me
Well, that ain't no shame

But can't you see the rainbow
Waiting 'round the corner?
Don't you understand?

We gotta move together
Gotta do it hand in...
Gotta move together
Gotta do it hand in...
Gotta move together
Gotta do it hand in hand
In my hand
Yes, my hand
Take my hand

Just think it over
And give it a try
If you don't make it
I guess you'll know why

You can't see the rainbow
Waiting 'round the corner
You don't understand

We gotta move together
Gotta do it hand in...
Gotta move together
Gotta do it hand in...
Gotta move together
Gotta do it hand in hand
