Footsteps, Footsteps, Footsteps, Footsteps, Why did ya say goodbye to me And now I'm lonely as could be? And as I feel a teardrop fall, I hear your footsteps down the hall Walkin' away from me. Why did ya say goodbye? Why did ya make me cry? Now ev'ry day I wonder Why, why, a-why, why, why, why? You're such a haunting memory, I pray that you'll come back to me? But as I say my evening pray'rs, I hear your footsteps on the stairs, Walkin' away from me. Why did ya say goodbye? Why did ya make me cry? Now ev'ry day I wonder Why, why, a-why, why, why, why? Footsteps, Footsteps, Footsteps, Footsteps, Footsteps.
