Mark Schultz - Walking Her Home lyrics

rate me

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)

*As* 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

*So when 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
