White Shoes

[Verse 1]
And Margaret wore white shoes when we first met
They're not so white now since she got them wet
And all the noisy people with too much to say
Shining up their shoes, waiting for a rainy day

[Chorus]
I'm in love is hard to say
Come again some other day
And will you say I'm in love?

[Verse 2]
The last rose of summer is still a rose
Bent by the weight of the late-autumn snows
And Margaret took the time to take it to her room
Counted off the days waiting for that rose to bloom

[Chorus]
I'm in love is hard to say
Come again some other day
And will you say I'm in love?

[Verse 3]
So many road signs point in both ways
Some follow both roads in their younger days
'Til all they're afraid of is coming true
Frozen in decision and wondering what to do

[Chorus]
I'm in love is hard to say
Come again some other day
And will you say I'm in love?

[Verse 4]
Then Maggie sang a funny song about a girl who spilled her wine
The neck she held too tightly turned to vinegar in time
And all the little children who laughed at every word
They did not hear the sadness in all the words they heard

[Chorus]
I'm in love is hard to say
Come again some other day
And will you say I'm in love?
