His Shoes lyrics

I remember the time before you were mine

And I was dying to be in his shoes

Now he's gone away and I'm in his place

But his mem'ry hasn't moved

The shadow he cast just grows larger than life

How can the past cut two hearts like a knife

I can't walk away but how can I stay

Any way I step I lose

My back's to the wall I stumble and fall

Trying to live my life in his shoes

He wasn't a saint so what are these chains

He holds on both of us

You give it your best but you can't forget

And my love's not strong enough

To put out a fire that someone else lit

Or walk in the footprints that never will fit

I can't walk away but how can I stay...

I can't walk away but how can I stay...

[guitar]

In his shoes in his shoes in his shoes

Trying to live my life in his shoes
