Footsteps, footsteps, footsteps, footsteps Why did you say goodbye to me? Now I’m as lonely as could be And as I feel a tear drop fall I hear you footsteps down the hall Walking away from me. Why did you say goodbye? Why did you make me cry? Now everyday I wonder why, Why, why, oh why Oh footsteps, footsteps, footsteps, footsteps You’re such a haunting memory I pray that you’ll come back to me But as I say my evening prayers I hear your footsteps on the stairs Walking away from me. Why did you say goodbye? Why did you make me cry? Now everyday I wonder why, Why, why, oh why Oh footsteps, oh footsteps, footsteps, footsteps Footsteps, oh footsteps (fade out)
