Footprints in My Memory

The youth has flown by, but has left a trace in my memory for ever, there are favourite children, I the happiest father, for them will give the life

[Verse 1] The years ran past like water through my hands, Small shoes lined up beside the kitchen door. Your paper suns were taped across the window, And every bedtime asked for one tale more. [Pre-Chorus] Though all those days have traveled out of sight, Their little marks are here with me tonight. [Chorus] You left your footprints deep inside my memory, A hundred tender moments I still keep. My favorite children, my heart’s greatest joy, I’d give my life for you, without a choice. The years have gone, but love remains, A quiet thread that time can’t take away. [Verse 2] I was the luckiest father in the world, With muddy knees and laughter in the hall. I watched you learn to reach beyond my arms, And felt so proud—and missed you, even then, somehow. [Pre-Chorus] Each changing season carried you along, But every parting made the bond grow strong. [Chorus] You left your footprints deep inside my memory, A hundred tender moments I still keep. My favorite children, my heart’s greatest joy, I’d give my life for you, without a choice. The years have gone, but love remains, A quiet thread that time can’t take away. [Bridge] When your own roads wind beyond my view, There’ll always be a light on here for you. No matter where the years may lead, You are the roots beneath my every dream. [Final Chorus] You left your footprints deep inside my memory, And every one still brings you close to me. My favorite children, my heart’s greatest joy, I’d give my life for you, without a choice. The years have gone, but love remains, A quiet thread that time can’t take away. [Outro] The youth has flown, the love stays near, My children, always held right here.
