lehrerI hold your hand in mine

by

Tom Lehrer

I hold your hand in mine, dear
I press it to my lips
I take a healthy bite from
Your lovely fingertips

My joy would be complete, dear
If you were only here
But still I keep your hand
As a lovely 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
For our love was something fine!
Until they come to get me
I shall hold your hand in mine!

(1953)

Herzlich Dank an Mike Wuliger für den Hinweis.
