Lyrics
Dad takes my arm in the church hall door He's shaking more than I am He says I never could dance I say we'll learn it today Slow steps down the hall Slow steps, hold me tight Walk me down the hall Heart like a drum Walk me down the hall Here we come You held my hand when I was small Now I hold yours Walk me down the hall He's older now but he stands up straight Polished boots and a borrowed tie He whispers don't let me cry And then he cries first Slow steps down the hall Slow steps, hold me tight Walk me down the hall Heart like a drum Walk me down the hall Here we come You held my hand when I was small Now I hold yours Walk me down the hall The doors swing wide The music starts Everyone stands to see You and me Walk me down the hall Heart like a drum Walk me down the hall Here we come You held my hand when I was small Now I hold yours Walk me down the hall Walk me down the hall
