I will be there to hold your hand
This is a very special song dedicated to my Grandson. Essentially, my daughter had formed a relationship with someone who really wasn't cut out to be a proper Father or accept the responsibilities, financially and emotionally, that parenthood involves. He certainly wasn't around much as my Grandson was growing up and I tried my best to offer him the love and security that every child needs. "So when you wake up in the dark - I will be there to hold your hand". This is a very emotional song and it often brings a tear to my eye as i play it.
Of all the things that made me cross, I could never understand
Why in the times when you were lost
He wasn’t there to hold your hand
I will do the best I can , to make up for his loss
So when you wake up in the dark
I will be there to hold your hand
Throughout the years I’ve watched you grow
You were such a little man
And as we watched the rainbow set
I squeezed your tiny little hand
When you grow up to be a man I know you’ll understand
That if you ever have a Son
You will be there to hold his hand
Of all the things that made me cross, I could never understand
Why in the times when you were lost
He wasn’t there to hold your hand
As Father Time now takes his toll, you’ll find that I can hardly stand
But I know you’ll take my arm
And help me walk out on the sands
And at the end you’ll squeeze my hand
As I slip off, from this land
