Stone in My Shoe

Lyrics

[Intro] 1, 2, 3 [Verse 1] We were listening to that old favorite record of my daddy's And I started weeping like a heartbroken child I was carried back to a distant, sweet memory As I went for a ride On the band's lonely "Ebb-Tide" [Verse 2] I watch my granddaughter dance across the yard Belly-laughing as she chases bubbles carried by the breeze I imagine her grown, watching her own child someday Dancing across the lawn when I'm gone And life going on [Chorus] That's when my guardian angel Dropped a little stone in my shoe It's not unusual lately To have a little stone in my shoe I find myself sometimes With tears in my eyes Born of nostalgia and the truth that time flies A small reminder that the fiddler is due I've been walking around now with a little stone in my shoe [Verse 3] I remember long ago, a child in a cabin in the snow Looking out the window down at his folks on the stairs As they came in from the cold, and the twilight's deep hush And how his heart swelled with a love That bore eternity's touch [Chorus] Then a guardian angel Dropped a little stone in my shoe It's not unusual lately To have a little stone in my shoe I find myself sometimes With tears in my eyes Born of nostalgia and the truth that time flies A small reminder that the fiddler is due I've been walking around now with a little stone in my shoe A little stone in my shoe [Outro] (A little reminder of what I've always known) (A little reminder that this is not my home) A little stone in my shoe (A little reminder of what I've always known) Just a little stone (A little reminder that this is not my home) In my shoe
