He Was Walking Her Home

Lookin back
He sees it all
It was her first date
The night he came to call
And her dad says
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 as

(Chorus)
He was walkin her home
Holdin her hand
Oh the way she smiled
Stole the breathe right out of him
Down that old road
With the stars up above
He remembers where he was the night he feel in love
He was walkin her home...

Ten more years in a waiting room
At 1/2 past one
Is when the doctor said
Come in and meet your son
And his kness went weak
When he saw his wife
Well she was smilin and
She said hes got your eyes
And as she slept he held her tight
His mind went back to that first night...
Well..

(chorus)
He was walkin her home
Holdin her hand
Oh the way she smiled
Stole the breathe right out of him
Down that old road
With the stars up above
He remembers where he was the night he feel in love
He was walkin her home...

They wandered through
The best days of their life
60 years together
And he never left her side
The nursing home
At eightyfive
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 mornin to find out?
When they checked her room that night
He was layin by her side

(Chorus)
He was walkin her home
Holdin her hand
Oh the way she smiled
When he said this is not the end...
Just for a while, they were eighteen
And she was still more beautiful to him than anything...
He was walkin her home...
He was walkin her home...

Lookin back,
He sees it all
It was her first date
The night he came to call...
