He holds the suitcase in his hand,
She just flew in from the eastern land,
The tweed on the luggage sticks to his pants,
He sheepishly grins.
Hold your hands and take a walk,
Down the stairs to Haystack Rock,
Startled the gulls, oh you scattered the flock,
You laughed as they flew.
Hold your love and try to let go,
Plane’s boarding now and then you know,
There’ll be three thousand miles or so,
Between your hands.
Hold her letter and put up the flag,
Hope that another one soon comes back,
Wait for the mailman to come with his bag,
And bring a reply.
Hold your breath as he walks in the door,
You’re hiding in a box on the living room floor,
Jump out and laugh, how your spirits will soar,
In his arms again.
Hold your vows and say, “I do,”
Showing off your love and how it grew,
Money will be borrowed, but no one will be blue,
And you’re on your way, it’s the walk of life.
Hold the first years in your deepest heart,
A new chapter of life, a bright new start,
Everybody says that it’s gonna be hard,
But you won’t be alone.
Hold your grief with your eyes closed tight,
Tears ‘cause there won’t be any cries in the night,
Nothin’ could ever fully make this right,
But somehow you move on.
Hold your baby boy and look into his eyes,
Feed him when he’s hungry,
Pull him close when he cries,
A parent’s gotta learn how to improvise,
In love all over again.
Hold your little children as they grow tall
They don’t know the half of it,
They’ll never know it all,
You’ve showed ‘em how to love,
And you’ve showed ‘em how to fall,
And how to get up again.
Hold in your souls these twenty-five years
Hold all of your hopes and all of your fears
Some were unfounded,
And some became tears,
But you were never alone.
Some days you were far,
And your others were near,
But you were never alone.
