I Want to Hold Your Hand by The Beatles (Across the Universe Version) is featured in Grilled Cheesus, the third episode of Season Two. It is sung by Kurt.
He sings this song to express his love for his dad, who is in a coma in the hospital after falling victim to a near-fatal heart attack. During the song, the New Directions are in or close to tears. Throughout the song, flashbacks of Burt and a young Kurt are shown.
Kurt:
Yeah, I'll tell you something
I think you'll understand
When I'll say that something
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand
Oh please, say to me
You'll let me be your man
And please, say to me
You'll let me hold your hand
Now let me hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand
And when I touch you, I feel happy,
Inside
It's such a feeling that my love
I can't hide
I can't hide
I can't hide
Yeah, you've got that something
I think you'll understand
When I'll feel that something
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand
