SILVER SANDALS. In silver sandals she goes walkin' up those golden stairs And though we miss her so we know she's happy to be there She walks with us in memory we see her all the time In silver sandals walkin' through our minds. So many times we let our thoughts turn back to yesterday To a little girl that could only watch the children as they played She walks with us in memories we see her all the time In silver sandals walkin' through our minds The grave in which she sleeps is cold but our thoughts of her are warm And we cry as we both long to hold her in our arms Each night in dreams we see her running to us smiling sweet With silver sandals on her feet In silver sandals she goes walkin' ... She had asked for sandals from the time that she could talk And it would break our hearts when she'd asked us why she couldn't walk She'd say when I go to heaven can I change my crutches then For a pair of silver sandals at the rainbow's end In silver sandals she goes walkin'... In silver sandals she goes walkin' through our minds.
