The hands you're holdin' now, if you remember Are the very hands that gave you you're first rose They're reachin' out for one last dyin' ember In the ashes of the love that's lost it's glow But if you don't want me I won't try to keep you But there's just the smallest chance you may be wrong, so wrong, so wrong Until you sure I hope you'll never let go Of the hands that you've been holdin' for so long I can't forget the first time that I kissed you It's the sweetest fellin' I have ever known But every dream, they say, must have an ending And you leave the hands you're holding for so long But if you don't want me I won't try to keep you But there's just the smallest chance you may be wrong, so wrong, so wrong Until you sure I hope you'll never let go Of the hands that you've been holdin' for so long
