Baby Shoes Lyrics - Children

Imagine the love 

Of a child for his toys, 

The love of a bird 

For its mate, 

Imagine the love 

Of a miser for gold, 

Then imagine a love 

Twice as great. 

If you multiply each love 

A million times more, 

It won't be half the love 

That a mother has for: 

Baby shoes, baby shoes, 

Mother will never forget them, 

You have forgotten 

When your feet were bare, 

Mother remembers, 

She still has a pair 

Of baby shoes, baby shoes, 

To keep them, 

The world she'd refuse. 

If she had to choose, 

Her life she would lose, 

Before she'd part with her 

Baby's shoes. 

Baby shoes, baby shoes, 

Mother will never forget them, 

You have forgotten 

When your feet were bare, 

Mother remembers, 

She still has a pair 

Of baby shoes, baby shoes, 

To keep them, 

The world she'd refuse. 

If she had to choose, 

Her life she would lose, 

Before she'd part with her 

Baby's shoes. 

Alone in the attic 

She fondles those shoes, 

And wonders 

Where her boy has gone, 

And over his shoes 

She is saying a pray'r, 

That the good Lord 

Will keep him from harm. 

In her heart 

There is gladness, 

Tho' her eyes are wet, 

Because Mother remembers, 

Tho' you may forget: 

Baby shoes, baby shoes, 

Mother will never forget them, 

You have forgotten 

When your feet were bare, 

Mother remembers, 

She still has a pair 

Of baby shoes, baby shoes, 

To keep them, 

The world she'd refuse. 

If she had to choose, 

Her life she would lose, 

Before she'd part with her 

Baby's shoes. 

Baby shoes, baby shoes, 

Mother will never forget them, 

You have forgotten 

When your feet were bare, 

Mother remembers, 

She still has a pair 

Of baby shoes, baby shoes, 

To keep them, 

The world she'd refuse. 

If she had to choose, 

Her life she would lose, 

Before she'd part with her 

Baby's shoes.
