GRANDMA WHY DO YOU WEAR

THOSE OLD SHOES

THE STRINGS IN THEM ARE BROKEN

AND THE LEATHER IS OLD AND USED

YOU WEAR THEM SO PROUD AND TAKE

SUCH CARE

YOU HANDLE THEM WITH LOVE

EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE TATTERED

WITH WEAR

THEY ARE YOUR MOTHERS BOOTS

I SEE YOU WEAR

 NOW I KNOW WHY YOU

WEAR THEM WITH SO MUCH CARE

THE MEMORIES FOR YOU THOSE BOOTS

MUST BRING

I SEE NOW WHY YOU ARE HAPPY AND

THE PRIDE THOSE BOOTS BRING

YOUR MOM WORE THOSE BOOTS EVERY

DAY

FOR CHURCH FOR HOME EVEN TO

PICNICS BY THE BAY

THOSE BOOTS HAVE BEEN TO MANY A

PLACE

GRANDMA I SEE NOW WHY THE LOVE

THOSE BOOTS BRING

IS ALL OVER YOUR FACE
