WE WERE EIGHTEEN

IT WAS PROM NIGHT

WE HAD OUR FIRST

BIG FIGHT

SHE SAID PULL THIS CAR

OVER

I DID AND THEN

I TOLD HER

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU

ARE CRYIN' FOR

I GRABBED HER HAND

AS SHE REACHED FOR

THE DOOR

SHE SAID

I'LL WALK

LET GO OF MY HAND

RIGHT NOW I'M HURT

AND YOU DON'T

UNDERSTAND

SO JUST BE QUIET

AND LATER WE WILL TALK

JUST LEAVE

DON'T WORRY

I'LL WALK

IT WAS A DARK NIGHT

A BLACK DRESS

THE DRIVER

NEVER SAW HER

AROUND THE BEND

I NEVER WILL FORGET

THE CALL

OR DRIVIN'

TO THE HOSPITAL

WHERE THEY TOLD ME

HER LEGS

STILL WOULDN'T MOVE

I CRIED

WHEN I WALKED INTO

HER ROOM

SHE SAID

I'LL WALK

PLEASE COME

AND HOLD MY HAND

RIGHT NOW I'M HURT

AND I DON'T

UNDERSTAND

LET'S JUST BE QUIET

AND LATER WE CAN TALK

PLEASE STAY

DON'T WORRY

I'LL WALK

I HELD HER HAND

THROUGH EVERYTHING

THE WEEKS AND MONTHS

OF THERAPY

AND I HELD HER HAND

AND ASKED HER

TO BE MY BRIDE

SHE'S DREAMED

FROM A LITTLE GIRL

TO HAVE HER DADDY

BRING HER DOWN

THE AISLE

SO FROM HER

WHEELCHAIR

SHE LOOKS UP AT HIM

AND SMILES

AND SAYS I'LL WALK

PLEASE HOLD MY HAND

I KNOW THAT

THIS WILL HURT

AND I KNOW YOU

UNDERSTAND

PLEASE DADDY DON'T CRY

THIS IS ALREADY HARD

LET'S GO

DON'T WORRY

I'LL WALK
