i long to hear your footsteps

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
