#11 on BB Hot Country on RCA Records in 1961 [INTRO] B Gb [VERSE 1]
  B        Dbm     B                 E
I can't forget the first time that I kissed you.

         B                            Gb
It's the sweetest feeling I have ever known.

    B                                 E
But every dream they say must have an ending.

        Gb                                 B
And you leave the hands you're holding all alone.
[VERSE 2]
B                                   E
Did God mean I could keep you for a lifetime?

   B                              Gb
Or did He mean for just a year or two?

B                                   E
If it's meant that I should have to lose you..

     Gb                                      B     G
then what's these hands you're holding gonna do.
[VERSE 3]
   C                                F
If you don't want me I won't try to keep you.

            C                                   G
But there's just the smallest chance you may be wrong

  C                                   F
Until you're sure I hope you'll never let go..

       G                                     C
of the hands that you've been holding for so long.
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
