Little Feet In Big Shoes

I heard her feet this morning.

And they were kicking off the wall.

The sound turned into jumping,

And I was praying she didn’t fall.

And when I opened up the door,

She yelled out, “Daddy” with a smile.

Like she hadn’t seen me in a lifetime,

But it had only been a little while.

She’s got little feet in big shoes,

Dancing around the living room.

Whenever I look at her I don’t know what to do.

She’s got a heart that changes minds, and a hug that I swear stops time.

I can tell when she grows up, she’ll be like you.

But for now she has little feet in big shoes.

I see glimpses of her faces.

And I’ve seen them all before.

When I was looking back through albums, your parents grabbed out of a drawer.

I see her eyes that sparkle

And the joy I wish was mine.

But the little girl in those albums, Isn’t on my shoulder crying.

She’s got little feet in big shoes,

Dancing around the living room.

Whenever I look at her I don’t know what to do.

She’s got a heart that changes minds, and a hug that I swear stops time.

I can tell when she grows up, she’ll be like you.

But for now she has little feet in big shoes.

And I hope for my sake

She turns out a different way

Because how can I love you

Times two

She’s got little feet in big shoes,

Dancing around the living room.

Whenever I look at her I don’t know what to do.

She’s got a heart that changes minds, and a hug that I swear stops time.

I can tell when she grows up, she’ll be like you.

But for now she has little feet in big shoes.
