In an old Dutch garden by an old Dutch mill
Where the moon was dreaming on a distant hill
When a smile danced by, it was then that I saw
Heaven in a pair of wooden shoes

In an old Dutch garden where the tulips grow
That's where first I whispered that I love you so
For my heart was blue till I gave it to
An angel in a pair of wooden shoes

Then one sad day when summer meets September
I sailed away from a thrill I will remember

In an old Dutch garden by an old Dutch mill
Ev'ry day I pray that you are waiting still
For my heart will yearn until I return
To heaven in a pair of wooden shoes
