Hold Her While You Can

She's a flower among the weeds

More beautiful than any rose

I put the creases in her shoes

She put the crinkle in my nose

I'll have wrinkles when I'm young

From all the laughing I suppose

And I'll hold your heart forever

Long after I propose, oh

Hold her while you can

'Cause someday you won't get the chance

Cherish every moment

And all the time you spend

'Cause this life will all be over, my love for you won't end

So I'll hold her while I can

'Til the one day that I get the chance again

She's a doll at 83

Acting like we both just met

Reminding me of times

That I swore I'd not forget

Now I'm 85 years old

Alone lying on this bed

Missing the sound of her voice

And the three words that she once said

Hold her while you can

'Cause someday you won't get the chance

Cherish every moment

And all the time you spend

'Cause this life will all be over, my love for you won't end

So I'll hold her while I can

'Til the one day that I get the chance again

Hold her while you can

'Cause someday you won't get the chance

Cherish every moment

And all the time you spend

'Cause this life will all be over, my love for you won't end

So I'll hold her while I can

'Til the one day that I get the chance again
