There's a land across the sea that lives in my memory
Where the dykes are built to hold the waters back
Where I spent so many hours strolling among the flowers
With a firl in a pair of wooden shoes
Wooden shoes, wooden shoes
I loved a girl in a pair of wooden shoes
Tho it's just a memory when I close my eyes I'll see
A pretty girl in a pair of wooden shoes
A shady lane an old windmill, flowers blooming on the hill
It's part of my memory I'll never lose
The beauty of sunset's golden hue, reflecting on the water blue
And a girl in a pair of wooden shoes
* Refrain
A lover's moon is shining through my window tonight
It brings back memories I'll never lose
A soldier so far from home and feeling sad and so alone
I met a girl in a pair of wooden shoes
* Refrain
