   F           Em         Dm7          F/C  A#
I remember how rough your hand felt on mine on
my wedding day
         F      Em         Dm7     F/C A#
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

           C           F
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

      Dm              Am               A#
For tonight you step away from me and alone
at the alter I stand
          F         Em          Dm7      F/C
And as I watch my bride coming down the aisle
    A#
I pray
                     C           F
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'
