Music by elton john Lyrics by bernie taupin Never released Hold my hand girl much tighter, much much tighter 'cause what I've got to say I only hope and pray Comes out as well as I rehearsed it yesterday And baby when the first tear shows It's a sign for you to go And baby when the first tear shows It's a sign for you to go and leave her alone With the broken dreams that she owns It's a crime for me to tell you It's a sin for me to stay And I'll never look behind me When I start to walk away Firl I'm sorry but it's all that I can say You know that I used to love you so Enjoy every moment together Well I'm not the kind of man To forever hold your hand And I've said as much as I should say
