A Hand To Hold
Nancy Price
September 11 2006


Don't say it's better not to try
Or it's safer just to be a friend
Think of how much better
it could be in the end

You say you're leaving soon
and this isn't worth the risk
So you're wasting time
but think of everything we will have missed

[chorus]
Sometimes when you're all alone, all alone
the world seems very cold
you could be the one
or just for fun
but sometimes it's nice
to have a hand to hold

I want this time to hold you
or just to take your hand
to see you here but not be near
is more than I can stand

You would rather stay apart
and never risk the fall
but it's better to have loved and lost
than never love at all

[chorus]

I'm not talking forever
I'm not saying stay all year
but I want a life that's built on hope
not on fear

I'm not asking for your heart
I don't need your excuses
I just want little bits of time
from the one who just refuses

You can say you can't commit
but I still have my uses
give me your hand to hold
not your pitiful excuses

[chorus]
