Eddy Arnold Echo Of Your Footsteps Lyrics

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 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

[ steel ]

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
