The Echoes Of Your Footsteps
recorded by Eddy Arnold
written by Jenny Lou Carson

(D) The day that you told me, you (G) wanted to be free,
I a- (A7) greed with everything you had to (D) say,
But I confess I lied, and (G) darlin' how I cried,
When the (A7) echo of your footsteps died a- (D) way.

(first chorus)

I (A7) thought our castle had a firm foun- (D) dation,
But (E7) all along was only made of (A7) clay,
With (D) aching heart I found, it (G) tumbled to the ground,
When the (A7) echo of your footsteps died a-(D) way.

If I had only known, I'd feel so all alone,
I'd 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.

(second 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.
