[VERSE 1]
B Dbm B E
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.
Gb B
And you leave the hands you're holding all alone.
[VERSE 2]
B E
Did God mean I could keep you for a lifetime?
B Gb
Or did He mean for just a year or two?
B E
If it's meant that I should have to lose you..
Gb B G
then what's these hands you're holding gonna do.
[VERSE 3]
C F
If you don't want me I won't try to keep you.

But there's just the smallest chance you may be wrong
C F
Until you're sure I hope you'll never let go..

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