Mr. Blue Melville was a sailor at dawn He sailed on his ship as I walked through the shore He took all the glitter and left me away And Mr. Blue Melville has gone The night was brighter when you lingered And love was a mystery 'till you walk by my side But now my heart's singing and tonight I'll be fine Without you I'm walking back home INSTRUMENTAL The night was brighter when you lingered And love was a mystery 'till you walk by my side And now my heart's singing and tonight I'll be fine Without you I'm walking back home

Looking back He sees it all It was her first date the night he came to call Her dad said son Have her home on time And promise me you'll never leave her side He took her to a show in town And he was ten feet off the ground (Chorus) He was walking her home And holding her hand Oh the way she smiled it stole the breath right out of him Down that old road With the stars up above He remembers where he was the night he fell in love He was walking her home Ten more years and a waiting room At half past one And the doctor said come in and meet your son His knees went weak When he saw his wife She was smiling as she said he's got your eyes And as she slept he held her tight His mind went back to that first night (Chorus) He walked her through the best days of her life Sixty years together and he never left her side A nursing home At eighty-five And the doctor said it could be her last night And the nurse said Oh Should we tell him now Or should he wait until the morning to find out When they checked her room that night He was laying by her side Oh he was walking her home And holding her hand Oh the way she smiled when he said this is not the end And just for a while they were eighteen And she was still more beautiful to him than anything He was walking her home He was walking her home Looking back He sees it all It was her first date the night he came to call
