I wrote this for some of my very best friends who I will cherish and remember always.
I love you guys. :-)
Travelling down this watery highway
Of a memory never made
Making footprints in the river
That are swiftly washed away.
Hear the whispered song of water
As it shapes the pebbles smooth
Watch the sun dance on the river
Or the white rays of the moon.
Only footprints in the river--
Is that what I'll someday be?
Only footprints in the river--
Just a memory of a dream.
I've been happy in the place I'm at
But I now must travel on
Only footprints in the river--
Here today, tomorrow gone.
Only footprints in the river--
Shifting sand of yesterday
Takes the memory that I want to leave
And washes it away.
Only footprints in the river--
I'll still know you when I'm gone.
I'll know your name and see your face
Even after I've passed on.
The footprints in the river...
They were there once, now no more
Like the time we spent together
Like the sand washed from the shore.
Only footprints in the river--
I'll remember 'til the end
I wish I could have known you always
But you'll ever be my friend.
Yes, the footprints in the river...
Though they are not there today
I'll remember how we made them
Though they now are washed away.
All those footprints in the river
Made together, hand-in-hand
Made with laughter, joy, and talking
In the river's changing sand.
Only footprints in the river--
All the time we ever shared
The world can't see our footprints
But I'll always know they're there.
Don't forget the prints I leave you
Keep them always close to heart
And I'll cherish all your footprints
Though today we have to part.
I will not forget your friendship
You'll be always dear to me
Like our footprints in a river
In a hidden summer creek.
