Satin Shoes

(Lynda Johnson)
"Satin Shoes" follows a girl's life, from infancy to her wedding day, through her shoes.

SATIN SHOES

Satin Shoes
tiny toes
dimpled hands
button nose

Toddling shoes
walking now
holding every key
to my heart somehow

Dancing shoes
spinning 'round
graceful, flying
oh...

Mama's shoes
make believe
an enchanting lady
you will be
an enchanting lady
you will be

Tennis shoes
racing time
trails to conquer
hills to climb

Sandy shoes
stepping stones
how the years sail on
how you have grown

Walking shoes
there you go
dreams to find
miles to know

Satin shoes
purest white
what a lovely bride
you are tonight
what a lovely bride
you are tonight
