You require a lot of looking after
That's one job in which I take pride
You can always make me smile
Make my journey soon worthwhile
Why not keep me always at your side to guide you

Hold my hand
No matter what the weather
Just you hold my hand
We'll walk through life together
For you'll find in me that kind of friend
Who will see you through till the end

So if you hold my hand
We both shall walk more steadily
For understand
You broke my heart already
In that dreamland where I have Planned
That I shall hold your hand forever
