Echo Of Your Footsteps

(الألبوم: Country Songs I Love To Sing - 1963)

The day that you told me, you wanted to be free
I agreed with everything you had to say
But I 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 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 closed 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 every day
For I cannot deny, I bid my heart goodbye
When the echo of your footsteps died away...
