| I told him «Better take your muddy boots off,» | 
| I said, «Your mama’s gonna freak right out when she sees this mess, | 
| but you can blame it on me.» | 
| 'Cause he was only followin’Daddy | 
| I don’t like to think about the way in There was only one pair of shoes by the front door | 
| Thought I was alright on my own | 
| Thanks to you those days are gone | 
| You stopped me in my tracks | 
| Now I can see the future every time that I look back | 
| At the | 
| Little footprints followin’me | 
| Little footprints brand new | 
| Little hands that hold my heart | 
| are only there because of you | 
| Little prints followin’me | 
| So walk more carefully? | 
| 'Cause what I do, and where I go Is gonna wind up there too I know | 
| He says «Daddy what we gonna do now? | 
| I got my bucket and my shovel and I’m ready when you are.» | 
| I pack the cooler and I grab my keys | 
| Next thing I know we’re on the beach | 
| Listenin’to shells for the sound of the sea | 
| It’s just a lake in little Tennessee | 
| It wouldn’t matter if we were on Mars, | 
| 'Cause I belong right where you are | 
| And this might be heaven now | 
| At least I start to think so every time that I look down | 
| At the | 
| Little footprints followin’me | 
| Little footprints brand new | 
| Little hands that hold my heart | 
| are only there because of you | 
| Little prints followin’me | 
| So walk more carefully? | 
| 'Cause what I do, and where I go Is gonna wind up there too I know | 
| Oh, you and God must’a made a plan | 
| To teach me how to care | 
| To save my life, to make me better | 
| And to prove to me His love is there | 
| It’s in the | 
| Little footprints followin’me | 
| Little footprints brand new | 
| Little hands that hold my heart | 
| are only there because of you | 
| Little prints followin’me | 
| So walk more carefully? | 
| 'Cause how I act, and what I say | 
| And what I do, and where I go Is gonna wind up there too I know |
