Blue Monday, oh blue monday....

Shoe Prince

Prints on the tops of my shoes

remind me of Elvis and his blue suedes.

The King sang from the heart

and that's where we start.

Because I always dreamed

of dancing with my daughter,

slow and steadily,

with smiles on our faces.

But I haven't had her in my arms

to dance the night away

since she was four years old.

The last time we danced,

she had to stand on my feet.

I can't have them shined,

so they'll be there to remind

me of what got left behind.

Prints on top of my shoes,

are giving me the blues,

but that's just old news.
