|
Looking back, he sees it all. |
|
It was her first date the night he came to call |
|
And 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, 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, in a waiting room. |
|
And half-past one, was when the doctor said"Come in and meet your son." |
|
And 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) |
|
And wandered through the best days of her life |
|
Sixty year together and he never left her side. |
|
A nursing home, at eighty-five |
|
And the doctor said it could he 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. |
|
He was walking her home, holding 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 walking her home. (x2) |
|
Looking back, he sees it all. |
|
It was her first date the night he came to call. |
