I did not know
that a shoe salesman
could sell more than shoes
And if I had known
I would have bought this wonderful feeling anyway
along with the white sandles
But I think I knew before I walked in
You didn't remember me
from the last time
Your arm was around me anyway
and I remembered
How strange I felt
I was dressed all wrong
and rushing on my lunch break
I must look horrible
But somehow we managed
I'm glad you were so friendly
For once I felt fantastic
I did not know
a shoe salesman gave away gifts
like a first date
and a first kiss
I was so nervous
and you were so nice
But like a dream
you disappeared
Gone
Where
Theres a message all over
our entire world
for you to find me again
If you don't
I will walk barefoot
for the rest of my life
