Walking Her Home

Mark Schultz, (no, not the Peanuts guy-thats Charles Schultz, no not the aviator-thats Charles Lindburgh, etc..to get the gist of this whole train of thought watch the very cool movie Facing The Giants)

ANYWAY, Mark Schultz is one of my favorite Christian singers. He has a gift of telling stories into songs, alot like good country ballads do-only his are alot more uplifting! Many of his songs are tear-jerkers (He's My Son, When You Come Home, Letters From War, Remember Me...to name a few). Well, the other day on the way to work I was listening to KLOVE and I heard his newest song from his album Broken and Beautiful called Walking Her Home. Oh my gosh, its beautiful. I had to compose myself before going into the office. If you click on his website you can hear it and purchase any of his albums. I enjoy them all. In the meantime, here are the lyrics:

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
But 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
