(Werner Theunissen) 



You've closed the door this morning
Like ev'ry other day
I think I must have heard you say goodbye
and somehow there were footsteps
that vanished in the storm
I turned around and felt
your place beside me was still warm
I woke up to see the morning
was nearly afternoon
and the evening came with memories of you
Now the minutes seem much longer
since worrying began
I long to hear your footsteps again

I long to hear your footsteps
before I fall asleep
I've tried to think of other ways
to hide the tears I had to weep
Now if you're somewhere far from me
I hope that you know when
I long to hear your footsteps again

The sounds I hear are different
from what I'd liked to hear
as they fade away they're leaving only pain
Now that silence breaks a part of me
that tells me what I am
I long to hear your footsteps again
