Footprints
Little girl standing at the door
I ask her, "Who are you waiting for?"
Without movement she says, "He'll be here.."
Hours go by and the girl has not moved
'Cuz if she did it would be a second she'd lose
Days go by and the girl's smile is gone
Her eyes eager to hide all the wrong
Weeks gone and she's sitting at the door
You could see her footprints in the floor
Months pass and pain fills her heart
Where was the sunshine in this dark?
Years gone, she's twenty now
The happy lil girl now wears a frown
No sign of him, hurt, she leaves the door
"Bye daddy," she says walking away
leaving nothing but her footprints in the floor.
