Hand in Hand with Me

HAND IN HAND WITH ME

Oh, wake me up when these strange times are over
When foolish things have ever ceased to be
And walk around - and tarry, yet, a while
Whilst you are here, hand in hand with me.

Oh, wake me up when this is all but gone
And you are back and think again of me ...
Oh, take my hand when life's again worth living
And, if you can, stay hand in hand with me.

The days are gone we used to walk together
In pastures fresh, with gentle sights to see ...
Oh, take my hand when love's again worth having
And, if you can, stay hand in hand with me.

The night is dark; and, to be true, I fear
The time ahead, for you may not back be
By morning's light, when I will dream once more
Of only thee, the one who's meant for me.

Oh, wake me up when back you are once more
And softly call my name so tenderly
And I will gaze upon the gentle soul you are,
And, hand in hand, I'll walk around with thee.
