Imagine the love of a child for its toys The love of a bird for its mate Imagine the love of a miser for gold Then imagine a love twice as great If you multiple each love a million times more It wont be half the love that a mother has for Baby shoes, baby shoes, mother will never forget them You have forgotten when your feet were bare Mother remembers, she still has a pair of Baby shoes, baby shoes, To keep them the world she'd refuse If she had to choose, her life she would loose Before she part with her baby's shoes Alone in the attic she fondles those shoes And wonders where her boy has gone And over these shoes she is saying a prayer, She is praying to keep him from harm In her heart there is gladness, though her eyes are wet Every mother remembers, while you may forget Baby shoes, baby shoes, Mother will never forget them You have forgotten when your feet were bare Mother remembers, she still has a pair Of baby shoes, baby shoes, To keep them the world she'd refuse If she had to choose, her life she would loose Before she part with her baby's shoes
