I remember how rough your hand felt

On mine on my wedding day

And the tears cried on my

Shoulder I couldn't turn away

Well so much has happened to

Me that I don't understand

All I can think of is being five years old following

Behind you at the beach tracing

Your footprints in the sand

Trying to walk like a man

By our lady of the roses we

Lived in the shadow of the elms

I remember ma draggin

Me and my sister up the

Street to the church whenever

She heard those wedding bells

Well would they ever look so happy

Again the handsome groom and his bride

As they stepped into that long black

Limousine for their mystery ride

Well tonight you step away from me

And alone at the alter I stand

And as I watch my bride coming down the

Aisle I pray for the strength to walk like a man

Well now the years have gone and I've

Grown from that seed youve sown

But I didnt think thered be so many

Steps Id have to learn on my own

Well I was young and

I didnt know what to do

When I saw your best

Steps stolen away from you

Now Ill do what I can

I'll walk like a man

And I'll keep on walkin
