Silver Sandals

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 memories 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...
 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...
 In silver sandals walkin' through our minds
