The Echo of Your Footsteps

The Echo Of Your Footsteps - Eddy Arnold

The day that you told me

You wanted to be free

I agree with everything you had to say

But I confess I lie and darling how I cry

When the echo of your footsteps died away

I thought our castle's had a firm foundation

But all along was only made of clay

With aching heart I'd found

It tumbled 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 gates to paradise swung close

Before my eyes

When the echo of your footsteps died away

No matter where you are I wish you well dear

And I ask God to bless you everyday

For I cannot deny I bid my heart goodbye

When the echo of your footsteps died away
