Barenaked Ladies - Footprints lyrics

I've followed footprints in the snow Never knowing if I was right behind you Looking down, no one would know I wasn't walking hand in hand beside you For your footprints lead the way To a hearth where hearts we made surround you You are awash in all its glow I'm still standing in the snow I stood and watched the lights go out While the snowflakes settled all around me Though it filled my heart with doubt Couldn't move and this is where you found me As our footprints dissappeared Snow erasing how I came to be here I've got nowhere else to go Now you're standing In the snow Look for understanding In the snow You look just outstanding In the snow Standing in the snow Now it's almost Christmas Eve I'm surrounded with the sound of laughter To give is better than to decieve For I recieved a happy ever after You might have left me in the cold A fitting ending for the fool that I was But you'd be cuddled up alone And I'd still be standing in the snow
