Another Year Goes By

I don’t just miss you one day a year,

You’re in my mind when life isn’t clear.

Your gentle words still show me what’s right,

Soft footprints guiding me through the night.

I think of you each day, you’re always near,

Your memory stays so strong and clear.

I feel your presence in all I do,

Your footprints in my heart shine through.

(Pre chorus)

Another year goes by, the seasons turn,

New days arrive and old memories return.

Things I forgot come walking through my mind,

Your footprints lead me back to softer times I find.

I think of you each day, not once a year,

Your stories, jokes, and smile still feel so near.

Through every storm that tears my world apart,

I follow all your footprints in my heart.

I talk to strangers stuck in a line,

Your tone comes out instead of just mine.

You walked ahead and drew me a chart,

Your worn footprints live deep in my heart.

An old movie plays late on TV,

Every line feels like you’re here with me.

I know every joke and every part,

I stayed for your footprints in my heart.

(Pre chorus)

I think of you each day, not once a year,

Your stories, jokes, and smile still feel so near.

Through every storm that tears my world apart,

I follow all your footprints in my heart.

(Bridge)

From kid to grown, through all these years,

I hear her voice when life brings me fears.

I thank her for the strength she left in me,

Her footprints get me through what I can’t always see.

When I don’t know which way that I should turn,

I hear her words, the lessons that I learn.

I used my mother’s strength to do my part,

Her footprints lit the way right to her heart.

(Chorus)

Another year goes by, the seasons turn,

New days arrive and old memories return.

Things I forgot come walking through my mind,

Your footprints lead me back to softer times I find.

I think of you each day, not once a year,

Your stories, jokes, and smile still feel so near.

Through every storm that tears my world apart,

I follow all your footprints in my heart.
