Come, Take My Hand
Copyright 1994 by Deb Carpenter-Nolting
I got caught in a blizzard, it was getting’ close to night
I said my prayers, wished for a little light
Must have dozed for an instant, when I drifted off course
I dreamed of a cowboy on a white horse
He said, “Come, take my hand
Let’s dance a few rounds
It’s a clear Crystal Ball
With the snow comin’ down.”
He said, “Come, take my hand
Let’s dance a few rounds
It’s a clear Crystal Ball
With the snow comin’ down.”
Though his fingers were icy, his touch was so light
His eyes entranced me, and I was held tight
We whirled and we twirled and his lips found mine
Then I knew that this cowboy was mine for all time
He said, “Come, take my hand
Let’s dance a few rounds
It’s a clear Crystal Ball
With the snow comin’ down.”
Instrumental
The next day they found me in that lovely, lonely place
With my soul on my sleeve, frozen smile on my face
The old timers said that I hadn’t stood a chance
For that charming fellow, Death, had the last dance
He said, “Come, take my hand
Let’s dance a few rounds
It’s a clear Crystal ball
With the snow comin’ down.”
He said, “Come, take my hand
Let’s dance a few rounds
It’s a clear Crystal Ball
With the snow comin’ down.”
