Mark Schultz "Walking Her Home" |
Looking back He sees it all It was her first date the night he came to call Her dad said, 'son Have her home on time And promise me you'll never leave her side' He took her to a show in town And he was ten feet off the ground Chorus: He was walking her home And holding her hand Oh the way she smiled it stole the breath right out of him Down that old road With the stars up above He remembers where he was the night he fell in love He was walking her home Ten more years in a waiting room At half past one So when the doctor said, 'come in and meet your son' And his knees went weak When he saw his wife She was smiling as she said, 'he's got your eyes' And as she slept he held her tight His mind went back to that first night Chorus He walked her through the best days of her life Sixty years together and he never left her side A nursing home At eighty-five And the doctor said it could be her last night And the nurse said, 'oh should we tell him now, Or should we wait until the morning to find out?' When they checked her room that night He was laying by her side Oh he was walking her home Holding her hand Oh the way she smiled when he said, 'this is not the end' Just for a while They were eighteen She was still more beautiful to him than anything He was walking her home He was walking her home Looking back he sees it all It was her first date the night he came to call Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
