Walking Her Home Lyrics
(Mark Schultz)
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 and a 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 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 he wait until the morning to find out
But when they checked her room that night He was laying by her side
Oh he was walking her home And holding her hand Oh the way she smiled when he said this is not the end And just for a while they were eighteen And 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
