To Hold Her - Constanza
To hold her in my arms once more
So we can squeeze each other tight
Before me kissing her good-night
To love her like I did before
With all of my heart and my soul
Giving her everything, my goal
To see this child I did adore
With the proud father’s sparkling eye
Which now at night I simply cry
Before she went to heaven’s door
At far too innocent an age
Leaving me on an empty stage
Every night now I do implore
On bended knee before my bed
You should have taken me instead
To hold her in my arms once more
To love her like I did before
To see this child I did adore
Before she went to heaven’s door
Every night now I do implore
