Footprints Lyrics & Video

Looking down, no one would know

I wasn't walking hand in hand beside you

For your footprints lead the way

To a hearth where hearts we made surround you

You're awash in all it's glow

I'm still standing in the snow

I stood and watched the lights go out

While the snowflakes settled all around me

Though it filled my heart with doubt

I couldn't move and this is where you found me

As our footprints disappeared

Snow erasing how I came to be here

I've got nowhere else to go

Now you're standing in the snow

Look for understanding in the snow

You look just outstanding in the snow

Standing in the snow

Now it's almost Christmas Eve

And I'm surrounded by the sound of laughter

To give is better than to deceive

For I received a "Happy Ever After"

You might've left me in the cold

A fitting ending for the fool that I was

You could be cuddled up alone

I'd still be standing in the snow
