Randy Travis - He Walked On Water Lyrics

Beautiful.

My grandfather is probably dying within the next few months, and this song is very good at summarizing my high esteem for him. Please, whoever sees this, say a prayer for his wellbeing. Thank you, God bless 🙏

RANDY YOUR MOST WITH THE HOST LOVE YA YOUR FAN LOVE YA FOR EVER & EVER AMEN.

Love your videos

I think of my great grandfather. He was an old cowboy.

I want my daddy back 🥺💔

WE thought, he walked on water. God bless you grandpa.

I have lost so many people these last few years! I know they will be waiting for us in Heaven! My Dad was one of 13 kids, all of them are aging! Each years apart! Out of 6 Uncles, have one left! Life hurts, but we will all be together again!

2020 still loving!

2020 ♥️💜

This song always reminds me of my grandfather. He was one of the greatest men I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. He taught me the value of hard work. But he also taught me the value of love too. By the time his grandchildren had come around his rough exterior had smoothed out a lot. I love you and miss you Paw Paw.

R.i.p grandpa gone but not forgotten

No one is probably going to read this
I’m just gonna write it anyway because I feel at least one person will.
Im a singer songwriter called Michael Softley
I am a try hard chasing a dream
I have my first few views up and could use help getting subs and likes
If anyone who reads this could press the “thumbs up” other people will see it
Just a simple button press could make my dreams come true
Thank you much love.

I had been in Vietnam for just a few weeks when my Grandpa passed. Never will forget them saying that I could not go home because he was not immediate family, couldn't even make a phone call back then. Loved Ol Pop's.

I'm so sorry. They did walk on water when my grandpa Holt passed my school called me to make me go back. Government I guess.

Lyrics
He wore starched white shirts buttoned at the neck,

And he'd sit in the shade and watch the chickens peck

And his teeth were gone, but what the heck,

I thought that he walked on water

He said he was a cowboy when he was young

He could handle a rope and he was good with a gun

And my mama's daddy was his oldest son,

And I thought that he walked on water

If the story was told, only heaven knows

But his hat seemed to me like an old halo

And although his wings, they were never seen

I thought that he walked on water

Then he tied a cord to the end of a mop,

And said, "son, here's a pony, keep her at a trot"

And I'd ride in circles while he laughed a lot

Then I'd flop down beside him

And he was ninety years old in sixty-three

And I loved him and he loved me

And lord, I cried the day he died,

'Cause I thought that he walked on water

If the story was told, only heaven knows

But his hat seemed to me like an old halo

And though his wings, they were never seen

I thought that he walked on water

Yeah, I thought that he walked on water

😥💙🙏

Listened to Randy in 86 Fort Campbell. Drank way to much whiskey.

Great music.

Merry Christmas papa

This song reminds me of my Gram Porter. She rolled her long white hair all around her head like a halo. I loved her dearly. She would wait for me every day after school to do her chores. I would go to the little store across from her home and buy hamburger for her cat and anything else she needed.. I loved her and she loved me too. I went to see her when she was dying. I had to wait in a long line. I remember stepping in the line and waiting my turn. My Aunt Goldie had to push me because I didnt think I could move. It was my turn. and I looked at her laying there and I said Gram I love you. She said I love you too. thats all I said and she said. I turned around and walked out of that room knowing that she loved me.

This song takes me back to my granny she would be 97 this year passed away last year but i diddent think she could die then i watched her suffer knowing that when she took her last breath i want never see her again i loved her she was the nicest person i ever seen she would give you her shirt off her back even kn she knows she will be freezing or sum she was the most cristian women i ever seen and she for sure walks on water love u granny

Amen not the awful bro-country they play today

I wish my grandpa was still with me

Have a really close friend who is an amazing steel guitar player, kicks himself everyday bc he turned down playing for Randy, said nobody would make it singing through their nose.. He was wrong and knows it lol

My mommas daddy was his eldest son.....

Takes me back in time when my Grandpa was still with us.

Same but i takes me back to my times with my granny

Love Randy Travis and I loved my grandpa!!!

If this song don’t touch you and cry you are not a heart full and compassionate person, folks it’s ok to put your guard down, show emotions, grandpa and grandma love yah

Mine are almost gone now. Only got 2 left. Together we make 3. The lord has blessed us! Many have gone before me. Has broken my ❤. I carry thier love. With me always! God is great!

When I was a kid back in the 50's, Grandparents seemed so old! I know now they weren't, but I was so close to my Dad! He was my best friend! We always had a connection! We sang country songs together! I was the record changer! I miss him so!

Everytime I hear or see Randy Travis, I think of a naked drunk getting arrested.

We didn't have our father but we had our grandfather's. This is for you all, pepaw George and pepaw ray.

Doesn't seem all that long ago when Randy Travis was this young. Time sure does fly...

Every kid should have an inspiration like that. The one that builds his dreams and the coach he/she looks up to as a mentor to do that..! I was one of them. And I wound up real good. Brings a rainfall to my eye..! Not even wanna go there. I WOULD DEFINITELY AGREE, that this is what is country... not the bullshit they sing now.

Said he was porn star when he was hung..he could handle a puss and was good with his dick.

We can’t all be country it comes from the heart no matter where your from

O inimitável Randy Travis .O melhor cantor country dos últimos 40 anos.

I was very lucky to have had an amazing great-grandfather like that.

This is for my ...... PAW PAW 💋

I loved him and he loved me 🎼

Yes Ma'am!!!

Like no other.

I always liked his voice and songs, this one was my fave of his when new.I had every cassette he ever made as they were released.Like Conway Twitty, Randy Travis sang with true feeling.You can see Randy's face as he sings this song, he looks and sounds like he is singing from the depth of his heart.

My papa thought I walked on water.

This is my song to my grandpa who was like my dad he raised me from the day I was born he passed from cancer at home in his bed with us around him I sang this to him on his death bed last year .. holding his hand .. I sang it again to him when he passed I layed on his bed next to him and held his hand and sang it to him. He was my hero ,my dad and he walked on water to me.. I miss him so much..

Randy Travis told good stories. The new crop could take a few tips.

He was so sexy.

Smoothest, most effortless (as in "talented") C&W singer of his generation, here's hoping for Randy's future health & happiness.

I miss my grandpa he taught me a lot of stuff which help me in my life and spent all his free time with me

I love Randy and his music🤗🤗🤗🌟⭐️💥💯🤗🍓👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩🎩🦋💥🔥🍇🍓🍒🍷Thank you

It sure is greatest country song

I can go about my day once this song comes over the radio everything comes to a stop. Missing my father so much. Going on nine months too soon.

That ain't no reason you should be broke... Sell some shit and to Oklahoma for a bit . Recoup or fuck it .

If Randy Travis is singing his true life experience then he was double blessed to have spent precious time with his great grandpa.Not many of us have such precious memories.Love Randy Travis music.Pure silk.Never ever heard such pure singing.👏👍

I love it

I miss him everyday

This song has always reminded me of my brother who passed away in 1979 when he was 22 and I was 10.
🎶I loved him & he loved me.🎶

ill never forget my grandpa who just passed this morning really hurts. Hug the ones you love because you never know if it will be the last

I miss my grandfather, this song is him with my son, breaks my heart, with love.

One of the best songs ever. If this wasn’t written about my dad, I give up. Tells the sweetest story of what the influence of a truly good man can do for a person. 💙

Happy birthday in heaven daddy

I think of my grandpa Nestor when I hear this song

I love hear Randy Travis songs, there beautiful

You've taking more than you ever considered given...now I'm here to take your life....to whom it may concern...not Randy Travis tho... unless it pertains.😅🤭

Randy drank himself into a stroke. Its something that a lot of us have an issue with. The day that he did this we all cried and wished we could just take it back.

It s about his Great-Grandpa. Nobody seems to get that

I miss hearing Randy's voice! Sure wish that he can come back to us! I have loved this song forever!

When this song came out I.was on tour with a rock band, just happened to be in Toronto at CPI., for a meeting. That night Alan Jackson, and Randy were at the CNE., an outside shed venue. We were invited each of us sorta of chuckled at each other, we went to be kind. This song, stopped me dead in my tracks, I can remember exactly where I was, what I was wearing the approximate time and weather. From a rocker music DOES NOT get any better than this

I love Randy's voice. He's is one of the very best and I pray that he will be restored from the stroke. I would love to hear him singing again.

Melvin burns was that person

I miss my grandma 😭

Makes me think about my *Pappy Kirk* ..., My Daddy was Pappy's youngest son.... An I was my Daddy's favorite Baby 💗💗💗

If this song doesn’t get your emotions goin. U need a physical

i dont know who dis like this song but there crazy

I'm still listening in 2019 😒😞

+Liverpool Lady -'Hi! I am just hearing this song for the first time. Although this song can reflect on various father figures, is it not the about boy's Great-grandfather? Because the lyric says, "And my mama's daddy was his oldest son". I know maybe it does not really matter much, but also, it does! Thank you***' -j

@Jeffrey Feinstein yeah, his great grandpa

@TONY D 'Thanks Tony D! <3<3<3'

These are marketing company troll posts. Don't react to them.

I love u DADDY R.I.P David Paul Williams I miss u

I miss my father

I miss listening to Randy Travis in the 1990s when my first college girlfriend got me hooked on country music. He had the every man's voice and was easy on the ears and warms the heart

reminds me of my old grandad he passed away when I was 11 wish he could of seen me grow up 🙏

11 years old, and I am the proudest Christian and Proudest Randy Travis fan ever.

This song reminded me of my grandfather and brought tears to my eyes when I first heard it. My grandfather passed in 1975, two weeks before my 15th birthday. Worst birthday ever. I had lost one of my best friends!

Lost my grandfather in 2019 farmed together for 40 years it's been a tough year

When this song is about your step dad instead of your grandpa bc he passed first

Hell of a song

This songmakes me cry,because it reminds me of my Papaw Lawrence who i lost a week before my 11th birthday, in 1998.

I would love to go and see randy travis. :) but i can't because i have no money. :(

But you grow up randy my grdad died of cancer

Me too my friend

My Grandpa ....😪

That's how I felt about my grandpa. He was a great man almost everyone in our church called him grandpa. I spent all the time I could with him. He passed away 54 years ago but I still miss him. I'm now 11 years from the ago he was when he passed but that song takes me back to that boy that loved being with his grandpa.

This song reminds me of my grandfather, i miss him so much.

This is about his great grandad i never got to meet any of my great grandfolks the were gone before i was born iam 45 in 8 days i have one grand kid of my own so far but i plan on being around whn the day comes that i get to meet my great grandchild
