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 I first 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

Every day I pray that you are waiting still

For my heart will yearn until I return

To Heaven in a pair of wooden shoes
