[Verse] Forty years of carrying things Backpacks, training wheels, your suitcase to the dorm Now you're on my arm in white And I'm trying not to grip too hard [Chorus] Maggie, just a few more steps to take (easy now) then I'll place your hand in his and stand aside I taught you how to walk when you were small look at you — taking me in stride [Verse] Your mother's in the front row, wrecked She picked the dress, she held it up for years The preacher's waiting, I can see the end And I have never walked so slow on purpose [Chorus] Maggie, just a few more steps to take (easy now) then I'll place your hand in his and stand aside I taught you how to walk when you were small look at you — taking me in stride [Bridge] I rehearsed letting go all week (mmm) Turns out you let go first, and you're fine Maggie... I'm right here [Final Chorus] Maggie, just a few more steps to take (easy now) then I'll place your hand in his and stand aside we're at the end — go on, it's okay look at you — taking me in stride [Outro] (da-da, da-da-dum) (go on, Maggie) the last few steps...
