Footsteps

I may be light, but my footsteps will leave  
deep imprints on your soul   
you will still know that I was there   

that for awhile we walked in the sun   
that for a short time we loved   
that for a minute, love was perfect   
that there will never again be    
anything like this   

that is how memories are created   
that is the dream that was realized   
that is the song that we all want to sing   
and the dance we wish to do forever
