And so I finally get the chance to love you just when I thought everything was lost
But he walked out on you and now you need me
You want me to take up where he left off

So I've got big shoes to fill and I do the best I can
I just hope my best is good enough for you
Yes I've got big shoes to fill and I hear he wore 'em well
But don't forget to use these shoes to walk right out on you
[ steel ]
I know how it must hurt to know you'd lost him
But truth is sometimes pretty hard to face
Well all that I can promise is to love you
And hope somehow that I can take his place
So I've got big shoes to fill...
