Lyrics Skeeter Davis

Skeeter Davis

Hands You're Holding Now

I can't forget the first time that I kissed you

It's the sweetest feeling I have ever known

But every dream they say must have an ending

And you leave the hands you're holding all alone.

Did God mean I could keep you for a lifetime

Or did he mean for just a year or two

If it's meant that I should have to lose you

Then what's these hands you're holding gotta do.

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

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

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