Will You Hold My Hand?

Story Behind The Song

I saw an old couple in the parking lot at Albertson's. She was very unsteady and started to fall. He reached out to her and took her hand and steadied her with great gentleness, and she looked up at him with great love. I tried to imagine their life together.

Lyrics

Preacher man's waiting don't her face just shine?
She's daddy's little girl for the very last time
Walking down the aisle to the tune of a bridal song
They stand before the preacher Daddy lifts her veil
Kisses her cheeks as the tears roll down
She looks at him who will be her life
And she says to him as she become his wife

Will you hold my hand...Will you keep me steady...Will you be here by my side
Will you hold my hand ...Will you always be ready to catch me when I fall?

Looks like baby's coming in the middle of the night
What we gonna do now that money's so tight
Guess we should have waited for a better time
I not quite sure that I'm really ready
squeeze my hand now, I don't feel steady
She looks at him who has been her life
And she leans on him, like she did that night


Will you hold my hand...Will you keep me steady...Will you be here by my side
Will you hold my hand ...Will you always be ready to catch me when I fall?

Now the baby's grown and moved on to the city
And with each day her memory's getting dim
But in the twilight of her years she still remembers
The moment that she first laid eyes on him

Something must have happened in the middle of the night
woke up in the morning something don't seem right
But here's so much do and there's always so little time
She asks him to get the car warmed up and ready
Drive her to the doctor she don't feel steady
She looks at him who has been her life
And she leans on him, like she did that night


Will you hold my hand...Will you keep me steady...Will you be here by my side
Will you hold my hand ...Will you always be ready to catch me when I fall?
