| 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 |
