          A
She's a flower among the weeds
                    D        Esus4 E
More beautiful than any rose
            A
I put the creases in her shoes
                        Dmaj7 D Esus4 E
She put the crinkle in my nose
      A
I'll have wrinkles when I'm young
                      Dmaj7   D  E Esus4 E
From all the laughing I suppose
          A
And I'll hold your heart forever
               D         E
Long after I propose, oh

Chorus:
 A
Hold her while you can
                          D            E
'Cause someday you won't get the chance
  A
Cherish every moment
                  D
And all the time you spend
             A
'Cause this life will all be over,
             D
my love for you won't end
         F#m
So I'll hold her while I can
                         D               A Dmaj7 D
'Til the one day that I get the chance again

She's a doll at 83
Acting like we both just met
Reminding me of times
That I swore I'd not forget
Now I'm 85 years old
Alone lying on this bed
Missing the sound of her voice
And the three words that she once said

Chorus:
Hold her while you can
'Cause someday you won't get the chance
Cherish every moment
And all the time you spend
'Cause this life will all be over,
my love for you won't end
So I'll hold her while I can
'Til the one day that I get the chance again

Hold her while you can
'Cause someday you won't get the chance
Cherish every moment
And all the time you spend
'Cause this life will all be over,
my love for you won't end
So I'll hold her while I can
'Til the one day that I get the chance again
