Story Behind The Song

This is a song that I can relate to, as I was very much in love with someone and never quite got over the relationship when it ended. Many people can also relate to this song.

Song Description

A woman still feels the love that she experienced with a man who has left her for someone else. She sings of the old feelings, the promise that he would never leave, the desire for him to return and stay, the reality that he will not come back as her life must go on and finally the love, (never fading), that she'll remember in her heart.

Lyrics

Footprints
Verse
You walked out on me and I'm lonely as can be
And I don't know what to do 'cause I still love you
You are with somebody new, those old feelings come through
And the loneliness I feel I cannot hide

Chorus
Oh, the Footprints on my mind
Are the memories of you
Like walkin' cross the lonely desert sands
Oh, the Footprints on my heart
The love I feel so true
Knowing in my heart your love remains

Verse
With each passing day no more words left to say
And my pillow feels the tears 'cause I'm still cryin'
Do those arms that hold you near, have the meaning that was clear
When you looked at me and said you'd never leave?

Chorus
Oh, the Footprints on my mind
Are the memories of you
Liike walkin' cross the lonely desert sands
Oh, the Footprints on my heart
The love I feel so true
Knowing in my heart your love remains

Bridge
Yesterday's gone and my life must go on
Day after day I just want you to stay
But I'm dreaming away.

Solo
Do those arms that hold you near, have the meaning that was clear
When you looked at me and said you'd never leave?

Chorus
Oh, the Footprints on my mind
Are the memories of you
Like walkin' cross the lonely desert sands
Oh, the Footprints on my heart
The love I feel so true
Knowing in my heart your love remains
Knowing in my heart, somehow, someway
Knowing that our love will never fade
