Lyrics I walked through the valley Around corners of my life I’ve seen colors beautiful beaming light That was only a prelude For the one who was to come Merely practice learning to recognize love Your handful of pearls becomes A fistful of sand That’s the way it’s been SINCE I FIRST HELD HER HAND There’s a harvest beneath a harvest moon A season ending feast She is the bounty of autumn’s gentle peace Don’t tempt me with your scepter Or entice me with your throne Keep all those tokens I got a fortune of my own Glory and treasure Come to those who wait A new beginning never comes too late Now gold is just a color Holding no command Nothing compares SINCE I FIRST HELD HER HAND Nothing compares SINCE I FIRST HELD HER HAND Words and Music by Charles Parente copyright 1998 CLP Music, LLC (ASCAP) (***Contact Charles Parente at 703.528.5545 or emailforcharles@yahoo.com)	Since I first held her hand Credits Lyric Credits Charles Parente Music Credits: Charles Parente Producer Credits Charles Parente Publisher Credits CLP Music (ASCAP) Performance Credits Charles Parente Label Credits Perfect Circle Music Short Song Description: Pearls, Gold, Power.
