I HOLD YOUR HAND IN MINE
I hold your hand in mine, dear
I press it to my lips
I take a healthy bite from
Your dainty fingertips
My joy would be complete, dear
If you were only here
But still I keep your hand as
A precious souvenir
The night you died I cut it off
I really don't know why
For now each time I kiss it
I get bloodstains on my tie
I'm sorry now I killed you
Our love was something fine
Until they come to get me
I will hold your hand in mine
