Lyrics
Hold Them Close
© 1999 Steve Rapson sologuitar.com
There's a little girl
Off to see the world
A white dress a blue bow
I smile as I watch her go
And there's a little boy
On his way to school
A new suit a bow tie
I smile as he waves good-bye
Hold them close while they're here
Your memories are getting near
They're right around the corner
Right around the corner
Daddy can I row?
'Cause I'm big enough you know
So I watch her row
I smile as in circles we go
Look at what I drew
See, this is me and this is you
A blue house a green sky
And the yellow sun waving goodbye
Hold them close while they're here
Your memories are getting near
They're right around the corner
Right around the corner
Oh Oh we watch them grow
We cry as we smile as they go
Right around the corner
