song pick of the week

i LOVE this song...
i seriously ball every time i hear it!

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 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

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

But 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

Walking her home

smarty pants of a boy...

what a clever boy i have on my hands....
story time has changed dramatically in our house within these past few months.

i have handed down the torch of narrating and have passed it on to my little levi.
sad, yet amazing all at the same time.

anyhow,
levi has been busy learning all about short and long vowel sounds, and when which ones make what sound.

and tonight while he was reading me his story, he paused and announced that we
"have been saying his name WRONG his "whole" life"!

you see, according to the "rules"...
we should be calling him "L"E"v".

hmmmmm....
how does a mommy argue that.
he then told me that from now on he "MUST" spell his name...
"Leevii" in order for it to be said correctly.

OH what a boy! :)
