You've closed the door this morning Like every other day I think I must have heard you say goodbye And somehow there were footsteps That vanished in the storm I turned around and felt your place Beside me was still warm I woke up to see the morning Was nearly afternoon And the evening came with memories of you Now the minutes seem much longer Since worrying began I long to hear your footsteps again I long to hear your footsteps Before I fall asleep I've tried to think of other ways To hide the tears I had to weep Now if you're somewhere far from me I hope that you know when I long to hear your footsteps again The sounds I hear are different From what I'd liked to hear As they fade away they're leaving only pain Now that silence breaks a part of me That tells me what I am I long to hear your footsteps again I long to hear your footsteps Before I fall asleep I've tried to think of other ways To hide the tears I had to weep Now if you're somewhere far from me I hope that you know when I long to hear your footsteps I long to hear your footsteps I long to hear your footsteps again
