The day that you told me, you wanted to be free I agreed with everything you had to say But I confess I lied, and darlin how I cried When the echo of your footsteps died away Chorus I thought our castle had a firm foundation But all along was only made of clay With aching heart I found, it tumbled to the ground When the echo of your footsteps died away If I had only known, Id feel so all alone Id have begged down on my knees for you to stay The gates to paradise, swung closed before my eyes When the echo of your footsteps died away Chorus No matter where you are I wish you well dear And I ask God to bless you every day For I cannot deny, I bid my heart goodbye When the echo of your footsteps died away...
