Hold Her While You Can
Stephen Sanchez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I put the creases in her shoes, she put the crinkle in my nose
I'll have wrinkles when I'm young, from all the laughing I suppose
And I'll hold your heart forever, long after I propose
Hold her while you can, 'cause someday you won't get the chance
Cherish every moment and all the time you've spent
'Cause this life will all be over, but my love for you won't end
She's a doll at 83, acting like we both just met
Reminding me of times that I swore I'd not forget
Now I'm 85 years old, alone, lying on this bed
Missing the sound of her voice and the three words that she once said
Hold her while you can, 'cause someday you won't get the chance
Cherish every moment and all the time you've spent
'Cause this life will all be over, my love for you won't end
So, I'll hold her while I can, 'til the one day that I get the chance again
Hold her while you can, 'cause someday you won't get the chance
Cherish every moment and all the time you've spent
'Cause this life will all be over, but my love for you won't end
So, I'll hold her while I can, 'til the one day that I get the chance again
The opening lines of "Hold Her While You Can" begin with a powerful and vivid comparison of the woman he loves as a "flower among the weeds" who is "more beautiful than any rose". The following images in the song reveal his deep appreciation and love for her, which is evident in the effort he puts into her life, from putting creases in her shoes to creating wrinkles on his face just from being around her. He believes that their love will last forever and that he will hold onto her heart long after he proposes.
The central message of the song is encapsulated in the chorus, where he urges listeners to "hold her while you can" and cherish every moment they spend with their loved ones. The song is a reminder to treasure the time we have with those we love, as life can change unexpectedly and those moments may be gone forever.
In the final verse, the song takes on a more poignant tone, as the singer imagines being alone in his final moments, yearning for the sound of his wife's voice, and the three words she once said. He reflects on the need to take every opportunity to hold onto her and cherish their time together while he still can.

She's a flower among the weeds
More beautiful than any rose
I put the creases in her shoes
She put the crinkle in my nose
I'll have wrinkles when I'm young
From all the laughing, I suppose
And I'll hold your heart forever
Long after I propose, ooohhhhhh
Hold her while you can
Cause someday you won't get the chance (oooooooo)
Cherish every moment
And all the time you spend (oooooooo)
Cause this life will all be over
My love for you won't end
So, I'll hold her while I can
'Till the one day that I get the chance again
She's a doll at 83
Acting like we both just met
Reminding me of times that I swore I'd not forget
Now I'm 85 years old (oooooooo)
Alone lying on this bed (oooooooo)
Missing the sound of her voice
And the three words that she once said
Hold her while you can
Cause someday you won't get the chance (oooooooo)
Cherish every moment
And all the time you spend (oooooooo)
Cause this life will all be over
My love for you won't end

Hold her while you can
Cause someday you won't get the chance
Cherish every moment
And all the time you spend
Cause this life will all be over
My love for you won't end
So, I'll hold her while I can
'Till the one day that I get the chance again
