Hold My Hand
Heavenly Embrace: Unveiling the Meaning of Nat King Cole's 'Hold My Hand'
Lyrics
So this is the kingdom of heaven
Expressing a sense of realization upon entering a heavenly or idyllic place or situation
So this is the sweet promised land
Realizing the fulfillment of a promised, idealized place or situation
While angels tell of love, don't break the spell of love
Cautioning against disrupting the enchantment or magic of love while heavenly beings speak of it
Hold my hand
Requesting physical reassurance and emotional support by asking to hold hands
So this is the garden of Eden
Describing the current situation as resembling the paradise of perfection
In dreams it was never so grand
Highlighting how this reality surpasses what was imagined in dreams
Let's never leave again, Adam and Eve again
Expressing a desire to remain together similar to the story of Adam and Eve
Hold my hand
Reiterating the request for physical closeness and support through holding hands
This is the secret of what bliss is
Revealing the secret to happiness or joy
For bliss is what your kiss is
Stating that happiness or joy is found in the partner's kisses
At last I understand
Expressing a newfound understanding or realization because of this affection
So this is the kingdom of heaven
Reiterating the sense of being in a heavenly or perfect place
And here on the threshold we stand
Standing at the brink or beginning of this heavenly experience
Pass through the portal now, we'll be immortal now
Suggesting that by crossing into this realm, eternal or everlasting qualities will be gained
Hold my hand
Requesting continued physical closeness and support in this transcendent experience
So this is the kingdom of heaven
Reiterating the sense of being in a heavenly or perfect place
And here on the threshold we stand
Standing at the brink or beginning of this heavenly experience
Pass through the portal now, we'll be immortal now
Suggesting that by crossing into this realm, eternal or everlasting qualities will be gained
Hold my hand
Reiterating the request for continued physical closeness and support in this transcendent experience
Hold my hand
Reaffirming the plea for physical closeness and emotional support by holding hands
