Slippers With Wings

G                        D 
Susie was three when she first blessed our home 
                          G 
We loved her as much as a child of our own 
                             C 
But her little legs were all twisted and frail 
       G               D          G 
It was never meant for Susie to be well 

       D                               A7 
In her little bedtime prayers she would say 
                             D 
Lord I know you've been busy today 
                              G 
But when you get some time oh please pretty please 
    D          A7            D 
Can I have some slippers with wings 

G                                   D 
She'd love to watch the kids on the playground nearby 
                               G 
They'd call Susie's name she’d wave and say hi 
                         C 
Her tiny teardrops would leave a window stain 
       G               D       G 
But it wasn’t like our Susie to complain 

           D                      A7 
She’d just say to her brown puppy dog 
                                 D 
Little Scampy I know it won't be long 
                                G 
Till I run and play tag like my friends 
              D         A7            D 
God’s sending me pretty slippers with wings 

G                         D 
Susie turned four but her tiny hands grew weak 
                           G 
Pain took its tole and the color left her cheeks 
                          C 
Christmas eve came and we prayed around Susie's bed 
  G                  D             G 
I still can hear the last words she said 

      D                             A7 
Mommy mommy there's a man dressed in white 
                            D 
Daddy look he is shinny and bright 
                                 G 
And he's holding some ribbon and string 
         D              A7            D 
Around a pretty pair of slippers with wings 

                             G 
And if ever I was certain of one certain thing 
        D             A7             D
