Mark Schultz - Walking Her Home
Verse One:
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
All the way she smiled and stole the breath right out of him
Down That old road
With the stars up above
He remembered where he was
the night he fell in love
He was walking her home
Verse 2:
Ten more years in the waiting room
At half past one
And the doctor said come in and meet your son
His knees went weak
When he saw his wife
She was smiling when she said he’s got your eyes
And as she slept he held her tight
His mind went back to that first night
Chorus
Bridge:
He walked her through the best years of her life
Sixty years together and he never left her side
Verse 3:
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 he wait until the morning to find out
But when they checked her room that night
He was laying by her side
Final Chorus:
He was walking her home
and holding her hand
Oh the way she smiled when she said this is not the end
And 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
