[Verse 1]
A D
She's a flower among the weeds, more beautiful than any rose
A D
I put the creases in her shoes, she put the crinkle in my nose
A D
I'll have wrinkles when I'm young, from all the laughing I suppose
A D
And I'll hold your heart forever, long after I propose
[Chorus]
A D
Hold her while you can, cause someday you won't get the chance
A D
Cherish every moment and all the time you've spent
A D
Cause this life will all be over, but my love for you won't end
F#m D
So, I'll hold her while I can, till the one day that I get the chance again
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
A D
She's a doll at 83, acting like we both just met
A D
Reminding me of times, that I swore I'd not forget
A D
Now I'm 85 years old, alone, lying on this bed
A D
Missing the sound of her voice and the three words that she once said
[Chorus]
A D
Hold her while you can, cause someday you won't get the chance
A D
Cherish every moment and all the time you've spent
A D
Cause this life will all be over, but my love for you won't end
F#m D
So, I'll hold her while I can, till the one day that I get the chance again
[Interlude]
A D A D
[Chorus]
A D
Hold her while you can, cause someday you won't get the chance
A D
Cherish every moment and all the time you've spent
A D
Cause this life will all be over, but my love for you won't end
F#m D
So, I'll hold her while I can, till the one day that I get the chance again
