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
