He Was Walking Her Home

Mark Schultz


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...
