Two Little Baby Shoes 1907

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 12 Sep 2005

On a night in June,
on their honeymoon,
two lovers came to part,
for a tale was told
of her love grown cold,
how another won her heart,
with a tear dimmed eye,
and a sad goodbye,
for him love's young dream ends,
till a year has passed,
when he hears at last,
the message his darling sends.

Two little baby shoes,
how could his heart refuse,
Two little, blue little shoes she sent,
he knew very well what the message meant,
softly they seemed to say,
Daddy come home today
don't let your heart break,
come home for the sake
of two little baby shoes.

In a snow white cot,
lies a little tot,
the sandman's drawing nigh,
in the old arm chair,
sits her mamma there,
as she croons a lullaby.
And a dream she dreams,
where her loved one seems,
to sigh: "I long for you."
And she wakes to hear:
"Just forgive me dear,
your message has proved you true."

Two little baby shoes,
how could his heart refuse,
Two little, blue little shoes she sent,
he knew very well what the message meant,
softly they seemed to say,
Daddy come home today
don't let your heart break,
come home for the sake
of two little baby shoes.
