A Love Song By Tom Lehrer I hold your hand in mine, dear, I press it to my lips. I take a healthy bite from Your dainty fingertips. My joy would be complete, dear If you were only here. But still I keep your hand as A precious 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.
