I Long to Hear Your Footsteps

You've closed the door this morning
Like every other day
I think I must have heard you say goodbye
And somehow there were footsteps
That vanished in the storm

I turned around and felt
Your place beside me was still warm
I woke up to see the morning
Was nearly afternoon
And the evening came with memories of you
Now the minutes seem much longer
Since worrying began
I long to hear your footsteps again
I long to hear your footsteps
Before I fall asleep
I've tried to think of other ways
To hide the tears I had to weep
Now if you're somewhere far from me
I hope that you know when
I long to hear your footsteps again

The sounds I hear are different
From what I'd liked to hear
As they fade away they're leaving only pain
Now that silence breaks a part of me
That tells me what I am
I long to hear your footsteps again
