My Shoes Keep Walking Back to You
Dean Martin · Everybody Loves Somebody: The Reprise Years 1962-1 [2002]
I must say that I don't care hold my head up in the air
Even tell my friends I'm glad you don't call
But when the day is through my heartache starts anew
And that's when I miss you most of all.
And my arms keep reaching for you
My eyes keep searching for you
My lips keep calling for you
And my shoes keep walking back to you.
--- Instrumental ---
No matter how much I pretend I wish I had you back again
For nothing else means half as much as you
My world just seemed to die the day you said goodbye
And I can't forget no matter what I do.
And my arms keep reaching for you
My eyes keep searching for you
My lips keep calling for you
And my shoes keep walking back to you...
