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...
