Walking down this winding road
for a million miles I'd guess
Telling stories, singing songs,
I feel my life's been blessed
There are angels walking through this world, and indeed I've met a few
Little miracles that lift you up
Inspiring us in all we do

If words could say what this heart holds
What's on my mind what's in my soul
I'd write it down to let you know
If words could say what this heart holds

I'd conjured up a song for you
Made of love and gratitude
The birds they sing, but they don't know
They sing because they love the song
If words could say what this Heart holds What's on my mind what's in my soul
I'd write it down to let you know
If words could say what this Heart holds

Resting by this winding stream
beneath a million stars I'd guess
Thanking each and everyone
I feel my life's been blessed

Sometimes it leaves me speechless
As if I didn't have a clue
I try to express what's in my heart
and all my love for you.
If words could say what this Heart holds What's on my mind what's in my soul
I'd write it down to let you know
If words could say what This Heart holds.

Shake’s Comments:

This is a song of thanks and gratitude to everyone who has helped me and supported the music along the way…all these years. After a show one night, we Dee and I were having dinner with friends and I was asked, “How it made me feel to have people coming out to hear your songs?”. I said, “I felt very blessed and grateful, but beyond that I couldn’t find the words to express it”, so our friend said, “Kind of like, if words could say what your heart holds?” BINGO. There was my title!

Thanks to our friends at dinner that night.  Patty and Scott Kennedy.

Always

Shake
