When I Walked Back
Walked down pathway
Just as the school bell rang
Ran towards the school gate
To see my best friends face
Carried our bags all the way home
Since year one until now,
Played till our shorts turned brown
Forgive me girl but am in love
Grew up to know the world
Shared our secrets, our tears and pain
Laughed together for everything
I fell for you all over again
Moved out of town remember don’t you?
Promised down the lake I’ll stay here for you
Years passed by but am still waiting for you
Released it was too late when you visited a week ago
The hopes I had were nothing at all
My love for you will hide inside forever and more
Dear girl you are walking down that isle
Am standing next to you, still hoping to be your groom.
