Fairy Blossom Shoes Within the town of Rhondelleigh on Poppillary Street There lives a little cobbler that is known as Stardust Pete They say Ole Pete is magical, or so the story goes Inside his tiny cobbler shop the fairy flower grows The blossoms of the fairy plant grow beautiful and bright They’re watered by the morning dew and fed by clear starlight The petals of the fairy plant have very mystic powers Midnight on the harvest moon is the only time it flowers Ole Pete will take the petals and sew them in each shoe And if you’re very good my dear he’ll sew a pair for you Those shoes he makes are marvelous and when the laces tie The person that is wearing them can walk into the sky Above the trees and through the clouds these wondrous shoes will go They’ll take you on a magic trip across a bright rainbow Past stars and constellations you can walk across the skies So many lovely things to see you won’t believe your eyes Through the starry moonlit night on a stroll towards the dawn A sparkling shimmer in the sky is made where you have gone ‘Cross fields of dreams and wonders with the fairies you will run Chasing golden fireflies ‘til the rising of the sun And when you're tired of walking and you wish to go to bed These magic shoes will take you home to rest your sleepy head So if you’re looking for some shoes to wear upon your feet Then come with me to Rhondelleigh to see Ole Stardust Pete |

Through the starry moonlit night on a stroll towards the dawn A sparkling shimmer in the sky is made where you have gone ‘Cross fields of dreams and wonders with the fairies you will run Chasing golden fireflies ‘til the rising of the sun Oh ~AHO~ How very happy this makes one to feel,remembering the hopes and dreams of every child! Sigi for good memories I am deeply grateful!
