Hands You're Holding Now Lyrics

The hands I'm holding now if you remember

Are the very hands that gave me my first rose

They're reaching out for one last dying ember

In the ashes of a love that's lost its glow



But if you don't want me I won't try to keep you

But there's just smallest chance you may be wrong

Until you're sure I hope you'll never let go

Of the hands that you've been holding for so long



Did God mean I could keep you for a lifetime or did he mean for just a year or two

And if it's meant that I should have to lose you

Then what's these hands you're holding gonna do



But if you don't want me I won't try to keep you

But there's just smallest chance you may be wrong

Until you're sure I hope you'll never let go

Of the hands that you've been holding for so long
