Those Shoes

Maybe you forgot, but I remember a time
When those shoes under your bed, they used to be mine
And it's funny how things change, how they come and they go
I don't fit into those shoes, I can't wear them anymore

I should have seen it comin', cause I'm old enough to know
When those shoes were all the rage such a long long time ago
And it's funny how things change, & what a grown man can see
When ruthless time and circumstances bring him to his knees
And all the lines being drawn become a question of degrees
Those shoes may suit you fine, but they're no longer right for me

Oh, I have been to the dance I've gone around a time or two
And I am grateful for the music that has brought me here to you
And though I step out of the circle it won't stop and never will
Cause you can't resist those shoes and I can't make time stand still

Oh, maybe I'll be strong enough to hold out for awhile
Some victims of fashion can come right back into style
But I won't waste many tears regretting things that we may lose
Someone was breaking in new dreams, while I was wearing out
Those shoes
Ohh, those shoes.ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh
