Hands You're Holding Now Lyrics

The hands you're holding now if you remember
Are the very hands that gave you your first rose
They're reaching out for one last dying ember
In the ashes of a love that lost its glow

If you don't want me I won't try to keep you
But there's just the 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
[ steel ]
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

I can't forgive the first time that I kissed you
It's the sweetest feeling I had ever known
But every dream they say must have had an ending
And you leave the hands you're holding all alone

But if you don't want me...
