Who He’s Holding Now
Caldwell/Lenahan/Skeen
We both knew
She really loves to dance
But, that’s him with her out on that floor.
Why didn’t I ever ask?
We both knew.
The right things to say
If I’d have only told her then
She’d be looking at me that way.
I knew she dreamed of being a mom.
A Front porch swing on her county home.
Planting seeds where roots run deep.
Watching her family grow.
If I could only turn back time
Have one more chance to make it right.
He’d never know
Who he’s holding now.
She was born
In Buffalo
Daddy’s little girl who left her home.
Followed my dreams and not her own.
Like a wild rose bud
In an empty glass
I never saw the flower
That I was holding back when.….
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
I just had to sneak in here tonight.
Not to shake his hand or kiss the bride.
Just to get on with my life.
(Chorus out)
