Intro: D G D
On the
day that school let out
My
sister Anne
and me
Walked th
e fields
behind our house
To
find our Christmas tree
She was six years older
So she led the
way
As we walked ou
t to fi
nd the tree we’d ha
ve on Ch
ristmas da
y.
Now
weeks of late November rain had
brought the creek to
flood
As we walked
out ac
ross the field
Our
boots sunk in the mud
I
soon realized that I could step inside
her prints so
grand
Until it
seemed like
I was walking
across the driest
land
I was
walking in your f
oot prints
Counting every
step,
measuring every
move you made,
Every word you
said, and I was
dancing in your
shadow,
doing what you
do.
I was
learning how to
be like me by
being just like
you.
Mom could hit a baseball
Lee could fly a
kite,
Dad knew
every
constellation
in the sky at night
And
Ann could sing about every song that
Elvis ever
sung
And it wasn’t
long be
fore it seemed like
I knew every
one.
I was walking in
your foot prints
Counting every
step,
measuring every
move you made,
Every word you
said, and I was
dancing in your
shadow,
doing what you
do.
I was
learning how to
be like me by
being just like
you.
I was
watching how you
walked and talked.
How you held you
head.
Every joke that
made you laugh.
Every book you
read.
And how you always
did your best when
no one seemed to
care,
How you did you did your
duty,
How you did your
share.
Now as I grow older
It’s so
easy to
forget all the ones who
follow
after me
I can’t imagine yet
Who
learn what I remember,
Who do what I have
done,
Every
step I
travel now
I
walk for more than
one.
I’m
walking in your
foot prints
Counting every
step,
measuring every
move you made,
Every word you
said, and I was
dancing in your
shadow,
doing what you
do.
I was
learning how to
be like me by
being just like
you.
