  • 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 you've sown
    But I didn't think there'd be so many steps
    I'd have to learn on my own
    Well I was young and I didn't know what to do
    When I saw your best steps stolen away from you
    Now I'll do what I can
    I'll walk like a man
    And I'll keep on walkin' Writer/s: BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
