The Walk

Genre: Singer-Songwriter

Lyrics

I picked red for the tables today
And a bouquet of lilies to hold
And the first dress I tried on, I’m wearing today
And my makeup is shimmering gold

When he asked me tears sprang to my eyes
I couldn’t say yes fast enough
And I know you’d have liked him, if you two had met
And that’s what makes this day so tough

Chorus:

The love of my life is waiting for me
He’s only a few steps away
And though I am taking each step there alone
I know you are with me today

Many offered to stand in for you
But I couldn’t recast such a role
Cause you taught me to stand on my own two feet
So I can make the walk alone
