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
|
