Come Hold My Hand

Yes, there are times I feel so glad I cry,
And, there are times my heart’s so sad I die, a little,
So hold my hand awhile, I’d love to see your smile,
And gaze into your eyes before I go.

Oh you’re the one that sets my soul on fire,
You filled my heart with passion and desire,
Come hold my hand awhile, I’d love to see you smile,
And wrap my loving arms around you so.

The very day I saw you first I knew,
That we would be together me and you,
I’d hold your hand awhile, and try to make you smile,
And see that loving ember start to glow.

We loved to take our strolls up in the park,
And start to capture kisses after dark,
I’d hold your hand awhile, and you would start to smile,
And every lover’s passion we would know.

As blossoms bloomed we found that you and me,
Our love would soon include a family,
Come hold my hand awhile; come see the baby smile,
And you and I will see how true love grows.

Now and forever more this has to be,
I’ll see you soon in heaven, look for me,
So hold my hand awhile, I’d love to see your smile,
And gaze into your eyes before I go.
