Lyrics

Her Little Shoes

[Verse 1]
Early in the morning
Sun just finding the floor
There they are by the doorway
Like she just walked through the door
Tiny little footprints
Paused beside my knees
I pick up her little shoes
And my heart falls to its knees

[Chorus]
Her little shoes
Carry her everywhere
Even when she’s gone
I feel that she is there
Leather warm from yesterday
Laces loose and sweet
Her little shoes
Bring her heartbeat to my hands and feet

[Verse 2]
Size six on the label
But I know them by touch
Every scuff a little story
Of the wife I love so much
Polishing the daylight
Till they softly shine
In the quiet of the hallway
I feel her small hand in mine

[Chorus]
Her little shoes
Carry her everywhere
Even when she’s gone
I feel that she is there
Leather warm from yesterday
Laces loose and sweet
Her little shoes
Bring her heartbeat to my hands and feet

[Bridge]
Maybe it’s the way she runs
Laughing down the stairs
Maybe it’s the way these shoes
Still hold her secret prayers
I close my eyes and suddenly
She’s spinning in the room
And all I did was touch
The shoes she slipped into

[Chorus]
Her little shoes
Carry her everywhere
Even when she’s gone
I feel that she is there
Leather warm from yesterday
Laces loose and sweet
Her little shoes
Bring her heartbeat
To my hands and feet

[Outro]
Her little shoes
Resting by the bed
I whisper “I love you”
To the place her footsteps led
