Imagine the loveOf a child for his toys,The love of a birdFor its mate,Imagine the loveOf a miser for gold,Then imagine a loveTwice as great.If you multiply each loveA million times more,It won't be half the loveThat a mother has for:Baby shoes, baby shoes,Mother will never forget them,You have forgottenWhen your feet were bare,Mother remembers,She still has a pairOf 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 herBaby's shoes.Baby shoes, baby shoes,SongtexteMother will never forget them,You have forgottenWhen your feet were bare,Mother remembers,She still has a pairOf 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 herBaby's shoes.Alone in the atticShe fondles those shoes,And wondersWhere her boy has gone,And over his shoesShe is saying a pray'r,That the good LordWill keep him from harm.In her heartThere 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 forgottenWhen your feet were bare,Mother remembers,She still has a pairOf 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 herBaby's shoes.Baby shoes, baby shoes,Mother will never forget them,You have forgottenWhen your feet were bare,Mother remembers,She still has a pairOf 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 herBaby's shoes.
