On The Other Hand Lyrics - Keith Whitley

On one hand I count the reasons I could stay with you 

And hold you close to me, all night long 

There are so many loving things I would love to say to you 

And on that hand I see no reason why it's wrong 

But on the other hand, there's a golden band 

To remind of someone who couldn't understand 

On one hand I could stay and be your lover man 

But the reason I must go is on the other hand 

In your arms I feel the passion, I thought had died 

When I looked into your eyes I found myself 

When I first kissed your lips I felt so alive 

I've got to hand it to you girl, you're something else 

But on the other hand, there's a golden band 

To remind of someone who couldn't understand 

On one hand I could stay and be your lover man 

But the reason I must go is on the other hand 

Yes, the reason I must go is on the other hand
