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 the love that lost its 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're sure I hope you'll never let go Of the hands that you've been holding for so long [ piano ] 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 an ending And you leave the hands you're holding for so long But if you don't want me..
