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
