G5
Looking back
          D5
He sees it all
       E5                 D5                C5
It was her first date the night he came to call
             G5
Her dad said son
                D5
Have her home on time
    E5                D5               C5
And promise me you'll never leave her side
A5         G5             D5      A5
He took her to a show in town
           G5                C5
And he was ten feet off the ground

(Chorus)
                   G5
He was walking her home
                D5
And holding her hand
               E5                  D5                   C5
Oh the way she smiled it stole the breath right out of him
              G5
Down that old road
                   D5
With the stars up above
              E5              D5                 C5
He remembers where he was the night he fell in love
                   G5    
He was walking her home

Interlude: (keep playing that G5 for a measure then) D5  E5  C5 (play for a measure 
then let it ring on the first beat into the G on the downbeat or on "room")

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)
G5  D5 E5 C5 (don't do the ringing thing here just go straight into the A5 )
A5             G5                           D5 
He walked her through the best days of her life
A5             G5            C5              D5           
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
End on G5
