Footprints on My Heart
For the babies who stayed only a short time… but left footprints on our hearts that will never fade.

Footprints on My Heart

(Soft spoken before music begins)
Some footprints are so small…
they last forever.
(soft piano begins)
(Celtic harp joins gently)
(Irish low whistle floats in like a lullaby)
Verse 1
I stood alone in your quiet room
The cradle waiting there
I reached to hold you in my arms
But only silence filled the air
The dreams we had
Were just beginning to start
Yet somehow you left
Tiny footprints on our hearts
Lift (Pre-Chorus)
And though I could not keep you
You never left my heart
Chorus
You left your tiny
Footprints on our hearts
Though you had to leave us
You are never far
Love never ended
It only changed its place
Your tiny footprints
Time cannot erase
Verse 2
The lullabies I meant to sing
Still drift through midnight air
I whisper them into the stars
And hope you hear them there
Sometimes in the quiet night
I feel you close to me
Like tiny footsteps in the dark
Still walking silently
Lift (Pre-Chorus)
And though I could not keep you
You never left my heart
Chorus
You left your tiny
Footprints on our hearts
Though you had to leave us
You are never far
Love never ended
It only changed its place
Your tiny footprints
Time cannot erase
Bridge
Some lives stay only for a moment
Like morning light on dew
But the love you gave us in that moment
Will last my whole life through
And every road I walk from here
No matter where it leads
I carry you with me
In every step I take
Final Chorus
You left your tiny
Footprints on our hearts
Love never ended
It only changed its place
And every step I take
Through joy or through the dark
I carry you with me
In the footprints on my heart
Final Sung Lullaby
Sleep now little one
Among the quiet stars
I carry you with me
In the footprints on my heart
(piano, harp, and low whistle fade gently)
