Little blue shoes, you must not go alone,
Until those shoes have grown,
I know it's hard for you: you want to see the world.
But don't go wondering by yourself, my darling, my girl.
Little white hands will soon be in the past,
But don't grow up too fast - please try to understand,
Stay here out of the cold.
There'll be time to play at life, my darling, my girl.
Black little frown, you're reaching for the sky.
And one day you will fly with none to hold you down.
I know that you'll do well.
But I will miss you when you're gone, my darling, my girl.
Little blue shoes, you must not go alone,
Until those shoes have grown,
I know it's hard for you: you want to see the world.
But don't go wondering by yourself, my darling, my girl.
Said don't go wondering by yourself, my darling, my girl.
