Walking Her Home

Here is a great love story:

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


The song is 'Walking Her Home' by Mark Shultz. Listen to it if you can get your hands on a copy of the song and don't be surprised if it brings tears to your eyes.


I posted this because it is just a great example of commitment and simple love. It just takes one guy to win your hearts girls, and when you know he's the one, never let him go. Spend every moment with him that you can until you both reach your forever home.
