Silver Sandals
Silver Sandals: A Heavenly Journey of Innocence and Longing
Lyrics
In silver sandals she goes walkin' up those golden stairs
In heaven, wearing silver sandals, she ascends the golden stairs.
And though we miss her so we know she's happy to be there
Although we miss her, we believe she is happy in the afterlife.
She walks with us in memory we see her all the time
Her presence remains vivid in our memories, appearing frequently.
In silver sandals walkin' through our minds
She is remembered, symbolized by the image of her walking in silver sandals in our minds.
So many times we let our thoughts turn back to yesterday
We often reflect on the past, particularly memories of a little girl observing others playing.
To a little girl that could only watch the children as they played
She is remembered through our shared memories, consistently present in our thoughts.
She walks with us in memories we see her all the time
Recollections of her persist in our minds, represented by the image of her walking in silver sandals.
In silver sandals walkin' through our minds
The mental image of her walking in silver sandals continues to linger in our thoughts.
The grave in which she sleeps is cold but our thoughts of her are warm
Her final resting place is cold, but our memories of her bring warmth.
And we cry as we both long to hold her in our arms
We express sorrow, yearning to hold her in our arms once more.
Each night in dreams we see her running to us smiling sweet
Each night, we dream of her approaching us joyfully, wearing silver sandals.
With silver sandals on her little feet
Imagined scenes of her with silver sandals on her feet during these dreams.
In silver sandals she goes walkin'...
Reiteration of her heavenly journey in silver sandals.
She had asked for sandals from the time that she could talk
Since childhood, she desired sandals, creating a poignant connection to her early years.
And it would break our hearts when she'd ask us why she couldn't walk
Heartbreak at her inability to walk and her questioning why she couldn't.
She'd say when I go to heaven can I change my crutches then
Expressing a wish to exchange crutches for silver sandals in heaven.
For a pair of silver sandals at the rainbow's end
Imagining silver sandals waiting for her at the end of the rainbow in the afterlife.
In silver sandals she goes walkin'...
Reaffirmation of her journey in silver sandals through our collective memories.
In silver sandals walkin' through our minds
The enduring image of her walking in silver sandals persists in our thoughts.
