The Hand You’re Holding Now:Skeeter Davis. #11 on BB Hot Country on RCA Records in 1961 [INTRO] [VERSE 1] I can’t forget the first time that I kissed you. It’s the sweetest feeling I have ever known. But every dream they say must have an ending. And you leave the hands you’re holding all alone. [VERSE 2] Did God mean I could keep you for a lifetime? Or did He mean for just a year or two? If it’s meant that I should have to lose you.. then what’s these hands you’re holding gonna do. [VERSE 3] If you don’t want me I won’t try to keep you. But there’s just the smallest chance you may be wrong Until you’re sure I hope you’ll never let go.. of the hands that you’ve been holding for so long. A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.

La chanson évoque les souvenirs tendres d’une première rencontre amoureuse, où la protagoniste se remémore l’intensité de son premier baiser. Elle se questionne sur la nature de sa relation : est-ce un amour destiné à durer ou simplement un moment éphémère ? Les mains entrelacées symbolisent à la fois l’attachement et l’incertitude, laissant planer le doute sur l’avenir. Elle s’interroge sur la volonté divine concernant leur destin commun et, malgré la possibilité de la séparation, elle espère que l’autre ne lâchera pas prise tant qu’il y a encore une chance d’amour.
