Emitt Rhodes - Mary, Will You Take My Hand ? lyrics

Rhodes Well, give my regards to your father and tell him he's a stubborn old man And give all my love to Mary, Mary will you take my hand? Give my best to your mother, she's the only one who understands And give all my love to Mary, Mary will you take my hand? With a smile as bright as the sun She makes you feel good when the day's begun She makes you feel good when the day is done Mary will you take my hand? Oh, Mary will you take my hand? Well, I went into the city and I bought a white bouquet And I gave it to my lovin' Mary, gonna wear it on our wedding day Well, we'll build a little cottage and we'll have a child or two Just me and my lovin' Mary laughing the whole day through. With a smile as bright as the sun She makes you feel good when the day's begun She makes you feel good when the day is done Mary will you take my hand? Oh, Mary will you take my hand? With a smile as bright as the sun She makes you feel good when the day's begun She makes you feel good when the day is done Mary will you take my hand? Oh, Mary will you take my hand? Well, your father doesn't like me but your mother thinks I'm kind of nice And if my Mary loves me then everything will be all right So tell your older sister that she's gonna be my bride And love me forever only for the rest of her life. With a smile as bright as the sun She makes you feel good when the day's begun She makes you feel good when the day is done Mary will you take my hand? Oh, Mary will you take my hand?
