I'll Walk
|
|
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
|
where 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.
|
Let's 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 isle.
|
So from her wheelchair, she looks up to 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.
