Walking Her Home Lyrics - Mark Schultz

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
