The Echo Of Your Footsteps

The day that you told me  you wanted to be free

I agree with everything you had to say

But I’ll confess I lied  and darling how I cried

When the echo of your footsteps died away

I thought our castle had a firm foundation

But all along was only made of clay

With aching heart I found it crumbled to the ground

When the echo of your footsteps died away

If I had only known  I’d feel so all alone

I’d have begged down on my knees for you to stay

The gate to paradise was  closed before my eyes

When the echo of your footsteps died away

No matter where you are  I wish you well dear

And I’ll ask God to bless you everyday

For I cannot deny  I bid my heart goodbye

When the echo of your footsteps died away
