Walking Her Home

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
 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
