about

Cover of a song by Tom Lehrer and originally featured on "Songs by Tom Lehrer" (1953).

Recorded acapella in honour of Mr. Lehrer's birthday.

lyrics

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, love
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 blood stains on my tie

I'm sorry now I killed you
For our love was something fine

And 'till they come to get me, I
Shall hold your hand in mine
