Nitty Gritty Dirt Band — Holding lyrics

Lyrics

I'm standing here and hoping for you
Holding my door open for you now
Ask just what you will of me
I'll bend just like a willow tree
And now I'm holdin'
Holdin' my door open to the wind
Well seven times she came to me And each time seemed the same to me She knows just what to ask me now
And I can't help but wonder how
And now I'm holdin'
Holdin' my door open before the wind
I wrote my name upon the sands
With questioningly weary hands
The tide arose and answered me And washed my name into the sea
And now I'm holdin'
Holdin' my door open before the wind
