In Your Shoes

In Your Shoes I bow my head in shame my dear For all the wrongs I have done to you You swore your undying love for me And I took it all and swore it too You may wonder at such a thing As me admitting such deception But it has only lately come to light That I discovered this lack of affection I truly believed my love for you Matched the love you swore to me But now I find I just didn’t know And I simply could not see We buried you late in November About seven years ago or so Now I’ve decided to begin a new life And the starting has been rather slow But I finally found a new beginning And I am thrilled clear to my toes But in finding this wonderful love I discovered a fact no one knows. I now know what you felt for me It was true love without any ending For that is the way I feel now True love without any pretending I do hope you can forgive me And I can get rid of this terrible shame I am glad to know how you felt Because now I am feeling the same So rest in peace my dear I have learned a lesson from you It is not something I soon shall forget I know now what it was like in your shoes
