Mark Schultz - Walking Her Home Lyrics

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 in a waiting room
At half past one
So when the doctor said, 'come in and meet your son'
And 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 we wait until the morning to find out?'
When they checked her room that night
He was laying by her side

Oh he was walking her home
Holding her hand
Oh the way she smiled when he said,
'this is not the end'
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
