(G major) flower among the weeds, (Gsus4) (G major)

more (Gsus4) beauti ful (G major) than (C minoraj7) any rose (C major) (Dsus4)

I put the (G major) creases in her shoes, (Gsus4) (G major)

she put the (Gsus4) crinkle in (G major) my (C minoraj7) nose (C major) (Dsus4)

I'll have (G major) wrinkles when I'm young, (Gsus4) (G major)

from all the (Gsus4) laughing I (G major) (C minoraj7) suppose (C major) (Dsus4)

And I'll (G major) hold your heart for (Gsus4) ever, (G major)

long (Gsus4) after I (G major) pro (C minoraj7) pose (C major) (Dsus4)

(G major) Hold her (Gsus4) while you (G major) can, 'cause (Gsus4) someday

you (G major) won't (C minoraj7) get the chance (C major) (Dsus4)

(G major) Cherish (Gsus4) eve ry (G major) moment

and (Gsus4) all the time (G major) you've (C minoraj7) spent (C major) (Dsus4)

'Cause this (G major) life will (Gsus4) all be (G major) over,

but my (Gsus4) love for you (G major) won't (C minoraj7) end (C major) (Dsus4)

So, I'll (E minor) hold her while I can, 'til the one day

that I (C minoraj7) get the chance (C major) again (Dsus4)

(G major) doll at 83, (Gsus4) (G major)

acting (Gsus4) like we both (G major) just (C minoraj7) met (C major) (Dsus4)

Re (G major) minding me of times (Gsus4) (G major)

that I (Gsus4) swore I'd (G major) not (C minoraj7) forget (C major) (Dsus4)

Now I'm (G major) 85 years old, (Gsus4) (G major)

alone, (Gsus4) lying on (G major) this (C minoraj7) bed (C major) (Dsus4)

Missing the (G major) sound of her voice (Gsus4) (G major)

and the (Gsus4) three words (G major) that (C minoraj7) she (C major) once said

(G major) Hold her (Gsus4) while you (G major) can, 'cause (Gsus4) someday

you (G major) won't (C minoraj7) get the chance (C major) (Dsus4)

(G major) Cherish (Gsus4) eve ry (G major) moment

and (Gsus4) all the time (G major) you've (C minoraj7) spent (C major) (Dsus4)

'Cause this (G major) life will (Gsus4) all be (G major) over,

but my (Gsus4) love for you (G major) won't (C minoraj7) end (C major) (Dsus4)

So, I'll (E minor) hold her while I can,

'til the one day that (D major) I (C minoraj7) get the chance again

(G major) Hold her while you can,

'cause someday you won't (C minoraj7) get the chance

(G major) Cherish every moment

and all the time you've (C minoraj7) spent

'Cause this (G major) life will all be over,

but my love for you won't (C minoraj7) end

So, I'll (E minor) hold her while I can,

'til the one day that I (C minoraj7) get the chance again
