Footprints

Sitting on the front porch 

watching the world go by

wondering where the time went 

and how it seemed to fly

seems like only yesterday

I was singing a lullaby 

and now I'm loading up the car

and waving goodbye

You're starting a new life

and you'll spread your 

wings and fly

You've left footprints on my heart

you've left footprints on my soul

There's footprints all along these traveled roads

They'll always lead you back home. 

Kids all grow up

and move away

our parents hair turns a shade of gray

I won't ever be far

behind you

you took a piece of my heart 

even though your miles away

looking at the same stars

You can look and know 

I'm really not that far.

May your dreams come true 

your sky stay blue

its all within your reach

what you need to believe 

be your own hero

because it's never to late for tomorrow!
