Lyrics

I Want My Sandals

[Verse 1] I slip 'em on, despite the snow so deep, Looking outside at the snow piled in a heap No boots, no gloves, just a wish within, Sandals in my heart, where do I begin?

[Chorus] Oh, sandals, sandals, you're my winter dream, In this frosty air, I yearn for where I’ve been Crunch-crunch, boots tell a tale so cold, In my dreams of sandals, my heart's consoled!

[Verse 2] Snowflakes may fall, but my mind's with you, On sandy shores, where skies are clear and blue. From the ice to the warmth, I ache to be there, With toes in the breeze, without a single care

[Chorus] Oh, sandals, sandals, my summertime plea, In this winter's chill, you're all I can see. Soft steps, they echo a love so deep, In my dreams of wearing sandals, while I’m asleep.

[Bridge] Winter may linger, oh, how I miss you so, But when the sun peeks, you're the first to show. Pack away the mittens, it's sandal time, And with every thought, I feel so fine!

[Chorus] Oh, sandals, sandals, my eternal glee, Through the snowdrifts, you're all I foresee. Whispering hope, in this frozen ground, In my dreams of sandals, happiness abounds

[Ending] Sandals in my heart, though it’s winter outside, While I wait for summer here, beside a warm fire inside.

Nothing like the comfort of naked toes! This is such a lovely little tune, so happy. Can't relate as I live in California, but I like it nonetheless.

Have worn at least 1 pair everyday for at least 2 years! Bit chilly on the toes where you are! Delightful song!

Wearing sandals year round here - lol! Sometimes I miss boots - lol! What a fun song, sung so jauntily.

While I may personally be more looking forward to spring, summer is definitely the time of happiness, never have I thought about sandals being the means to convey that, but I totally see it now.

Yeah, sandals and mittens could Share the same seasonal box in the closet, exchanged depending on the weather/climate. Winter MAY linger, I’m afraid!
