"Empty Shoes" lyrics

There's a pair of tiny shoes
Shiny white and barely used
On the first time when she came home
Blink your eyes and they're outgrown

A little pair of tennis shoes
Velcro slaps, not hard to use
Big Bird's wondering where baby's gone
When she's gonna try them back on

There's a closet full of memories
Scuffed up toes and skinned up knees
All lined up, forever true
To the one who wore those empty shoes

There's a Sunday school Mary Jane
That old pair she left out in the rain
The boots she wore to cheer the home team on
And those silver snaps that danced her at the prom

There's a closet full of memories
Don't be late and daddy please
All lined up, forever true
To the one who wore those empty shoes

And sometimes late at night
Listen close and you might here the sound of
Walking, running
Skipping, jumping
Search devotion
Time means nothing, ooh

There's a pair of tiny shoes
Freshly shined for me and you
Grandpa's proud to share the news
With a closet full of empty shoes

And sometimes late at night
Listen close and you might here the sound of
Walking, running
Skipping, jumping
Search devotion
Time means nothing, ooh
Ain't she something
