The Echo Of Your Footsteps lyrics

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
