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
