I'll Walk

We were 18, 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 crying 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.
Driver never saw her, around the bend.
I never will forget the call, or driving to the hospital
when they said 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.
Lets 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 isle.
So from her wheelchair, she looks up to him and smiles.

And says, I'll walk.
Please hold my hand.
I know that this will hurt, I know you understand.
Please daddy don't cry.
This is already hard.
Let's go, don't worry.
I'll walk.

Please Do Not Go

It was a beautiful day.
With nothing to say,
My friend had gone to a camp.
She had no clue that this was her last day here.
She got on a boat without any fear.

Chorus:
Please do not go.
I wish you could stay.
No longer are you here, you're far away,
Far above the stars.
Forever you will glow
In our memories
Like snow.

Slipping off the boat she was on,
Fatally wounded, she was unable
To get help in time by the people around and lost her life.
Using her last breath for the last time,
She cried out "Mama!" and closed her eyes.

Again standing by her side now
Seeing her for the last time
A she becomes blurry one more time from my tears.
There's only one hope that remains in me, it's that I'll see her in heaven.
But until that day, for now it's a final goodbye.

***This is a song about my friend that died in a boat accident
