Phil Spillman - Walk With Me Lyrics

Pink little cowboy boots trying to keep up
With the giant of a man walking up front
With a tear in her voice and a skinned knee
She says, "Daddy please, walk with me

I don't want you to far ahead
Dad's gotta protect their girls I remember you said
I'm scared I might get lost if I fall behind
I think the perfect place for you is by my side

He's glad to see a nervous smile light up
As she walks down the aisle glowing with love
With a tear in her voice she gives his hand a squeeze
Says, "Everyday from now on, walk with me

You don't need to run ahead to clear a path
Only together can the good times get us through the bad
And when the storms come the sun's not far behind
And that perfect place for you is by my side

Every journey begins with one step
And our footprints side by side I'm sure is what God meant

A gray bearded man shuffles his feet
Tired from a life that he now fights to keep
There's silver in her hair, slowness in her feet
She leans on him and whispers, "Walk with me"

I remember the times you tried to run ahead
But you stayed right here so you could hold my hand
52 years is one hell of a ride
And that perfect place for you is still by my side

I promised you forever that's what it will be
And we're just getting started don't you see
We've got golden streets for eternity
Oh, they'll be perfect for you to walk with me
