We were 18, it was prom night.
          
We had our first big fight.
          
She said "Pull this car over".
                                                          
I did and then I told her, "I don't know what you are crying for".
                                            
I grabbed her hand, as she reached for the door.

          
She said, I'll walk.
            
Let go of my hand.
                                             /  
Right now I'm hurt,    and you don't understand.
           
So just be quiet.
           
And later we will talk.
              
Just leave, don't worry.
  
I'll walk.

                     
It was a dark night, a black dress.
                     
Driver never saw her, around the bend.
                                              
I never will forget the call, or driving to the hospital
                                       
when they told me her legs still wouldn't move.
                                
I cried, when I walked into her room.

           
She said, I'll walk.
                             / 
Please come and hold my hand.
                                 
Right now I'm hurt,   and I don't understand.
    /                   
Lets just be quiet, and later we can talk.
                    
Please stay, don't worry.
    
I'll walk.

  
I held her hand through everything.
                              
The weeks and months of therapy.
                                               /
And I held her hand and asked her, to be my bride.
                                                            
She's dreamed from a little girl, to have her daddy bring her down the aisle.
                                                 
So from her wheelchair, she looks up at him and smiles.

           
And says, I'll walk.
                    
Please hold my hand.
   /                                    
I know that this will hurt, I know you understand.
  /       
Please daddy don't cry.
          
This is already hard.
                
Let's go, don't worry.
      
I'll walk.
