Silver Sandals

Silver Sandals

By Paul McCann

When I’m feeling sick and tired I take my whiskey neat,  

One day I had a hard time so I hit the downtown beat .

I found a little night spot and sat in a corner seat ,

this girl sat by my table wearing sandals on her feet    .

Silver sandals she wore on her feet tied neat in a bow , so sweet

My thoughts poured out of my head and I began to speak .

My voice seemed to echo when I asked her for a dance

and when she danced her silver sandals put me in a trance .

She seemed like Cinderella as she moved across the floor

and when the clock struck midnight we both rushed out the door .

Silver sandals she wore on her feet tied neat in a bow , so sweet

My thoughts poured out of my head and I began to speak .

I woke up in the morning with my whiskey by the phone,

my wife lying there beside me and I started to groan ,

I opened up my eyes and I had an aching head ,

and I saw a pair of silver sandals underneath my bed .

Silver sandals she wore on her feet tied neat in a bow , so sweet.

My thoughts poured out of my head and slowly, I began to speak .

I said , my darling was it you that I was dancing with last night ,

she smiled and said to me oh yeah my darling it was all right  ,

Silver sandals she wore on her feet tied neat in a bow

so sweet , my thoughts poured out of my head ,

and I went back to sleep .
