Echo Of Your Footsteps Lyrics - Eddy Arnold

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
