Out of my Hands
(R.Spiegelhalter)

1st Verse: I could come and hold you for a little while. Hold back the tears and I’ll try to smile. ‘Cause I know you’re leaving me today. And you ain’t comin’ back.

2nd Verse: Son I hope that you understand. I’ve done everything that a daddy can, and you know I’d take your place if I could, so you could have a chance. ‘Cause things ain’t been the same since your mama passed away, and you’re the only reason I can make it through the day. He just looked at me, and he said daddy please, don’t let me go…

Chorus: Daddy hold on to me, and don’t let me go. I promise I’ll be good for you, I promise I’ll be strong. And as he said these words to me, I couldn’t understand, why a miracle, is out of my hands.

3rd Verse: Couldn’t hold back and I began to cry, and in my mind was the question why. And he wiped away the tears from my eyes, said daddy don’t you cry. And as he slipped off into a peaceful dream, I
remember the final words he said to me. He said don’t be sad, I really love you dad. Don’t let me go…

Chorus: Daddy hold on to me, and don’t let me go. I promise I’ll be good for you, I promise I’ll be strong. And as he said these words to me, I couldn’t understand, why a miracle, is out of my hands.

Bridge: If I could have one more moment. If I could have just one more day. I would give my life, I would give my life, just to hear him say…ohh.

Chorus: Daddy hold on to me, and don’t let me go. I promise I’ll be good for you, I promise I’ll be strong. And as he said these words to me, I couldn’t understand, why a miracle, is out of my hands.
