Silver Sandals Lyrics

In silver sandals she goes walking 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 walking 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 memory we see her all the time
In silver sandals walking 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 little feet
In silver sandals she goes walking 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 walking through our minds

She had asked for sandals from the time that she could talk
And it would break our hearts when she'd ask 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 walking 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 walking through our minds
In silver sandals walking through our minds
