I Take Your Hand Lyrics

Well I take your hand inside my hand
And hold it tight tonight
We made mistakes and we've known troubles
But we'll leave them all behind

So Mary Gene
Will you be my queen?

And bless our friends who stand by us
And will share this joy with us first
Let them stay rich in their kindness
Because we know what it is worth

Though Mary Gene
Will you be my queen?

'Cos oh my girl I love everything you do
You and me make a pretty fine pair too
And I would do about anything for you
So let's dance till this whole night is through

So Mary Gene
Will you be my queen?

'Cos oh my girl I love everything you do
You and me make a pretty fine pair too
And I would do about anything for you
So let's dance till this whole night is through

What would they say
What would our parents say if they heard those whispered words
That you are more
You are more than the whole world I once knew

And oh Mary Gene
Will you be my queen?

'Cos oh my girl I love everything you do
You and me make a pretty fine pair too
And I would do about anything for you
So let's dance till this whole night is through

Roll Away Your Stone

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This is a nice set of lyrics why no response? Mary Gene could be generic or a real person. Most musical lyrics are generic to some degree and that is done to protect all individuals involved directly and indirectly. Still a good song.
