Little Footprints

I told him "Better take your muddy boots off,"

I said, "Your mama's gonna freak right out when she sees this mess,

but you can blame it on me."

'Cause he was only followin' Daddy

I don't like to think about the way in

There was only one pair of shoes by the front door

Thought I was alright on my own

Thanks to you those days are gone

You stopped me in my tracks

Now I can see the future every time that I look back

At the

Little footprints followin' me

Little footprints brand new

Little hands that hold my heart

are only there because of you

Little prints followin' me

So walk more carefully?

'Cause what I do, and where I go

Is gonna wind up there too I know

He says "Daddy what we gonna do now?

I got my bucket and my shovel and I'm ready when you are."

I pack the cooler and I grab my keys

Next thing I know we're on the beach

Listenin' to shells for the sound of the sea

It's just a lake in little Tennessee

It wouldn't matter if we were on Mars,

'Cause I belong right where you are

And this might be heaven now

At least I start to think so every time that I look down

At the

Little footprints followin' me

Little footprints brand new

Little hands that hold my heart

are only there because of you

Little prints followin' me

So walk more carefully?

'Cause what I do, and where I go

Is gonna wind up there too I know

Oh, you and God must'a made a plan

To teach me how to care

To save my life, to make me better

And to prove to me His love is there

It's in the

Little footprints followin' me

Little footprints brand new

Little hands that hold my heart

are only there because of you

Little prints followin' me

So walk more carefully?

'Cause how I act, and what I say

And what I do, and where I go

Is gonna wind up there too I know
