Peggy Hold On

Lyrics

[Verse 1] My Peggy, come sit beside me, Let this old man hold your hand. I’ve traveled many roads in this life, Seen more years than I ever planned. I’ve known sunshine, I’ve known sorrow, I’ve watched seasons come and go, But the greatest gift God ever gave me Was the day I came to know you. [Pre-Chorus] And if my steps grow slow now, You can lean on me tonight. I’ve got a lifetime in these wrinkles, And your name still feels so right. [Chorus] So don’t let go, Peggy, don’t let go, We’ve come too far to walk away. Don’t let go, Peggy, don’t let go, Stay right here through every day. When the nights are long and the winds blow cold, Hold this old hand, Peggy, hold on. [Verse 2] I still see you in the morning, By that window in your robe. Hair pinned up with that silver shine, Coffee cup and quiet hope. You laugh and say I’m stubborn, And maybe, darling, that is true, But every mile I’d walk again Would start and end with you. [Pre-Chorus] And if the world feels heavy, Let me carry what I can. I may be older, Peggy, But I’m still your faithful man. [Chorus] So don’t let go, Peggy, don’t let go, We’ve come too far to walk away. Don’t let go, Peggy, don’t let go, Stay right here through every day. When the nights are long and the winds blow cold, Hold this old hand, Peggy, hold on. [Bridge] If my voice grows thin tomorrow, And the mirror shows my years, I’ll still be reaching for your fingers, Still smiling through the tears. There’s a house full of old stories, And your love still makes it home, So if one day I’m the first to go, Please know you’re not alone. [Final Chorus] Don’t let go, Peggy, don’t let go, We’ve come too far to walk away. Don’t let go, Peggy, don’t let go, Stay right here through every day. When the nights are long and the winds blow cold, Hold this old hand, Peggy, hold on. Don’t let go, Peggy, don’t let go, My Peggy, I’m still yours.
