Footsteps in the Sand Lyrics

I found a picture in my drawer from yesteryear

So young and full of hope and joy

It all seemed clear

I can remember like yesterday

Our whole lives ahead of us

Nothing stood in our way

But through the looking glass

It seems time has not been kind

All the lines on my face

Tell the story of my life

I've got so many regrets

But I can't turn back the time

For we are all just footsteps in the sand

I had a call from Tony that Eddy passed

It seems like every other week

We're at half mast

I try to look away

But I'm drawn to the past

Missed opportunities

Chastise though they're not asked

Tried my best to be an optimist

But I'm left feeling aghast

I wish I was still young enough

To leave this barren land

I feel like I've been cheated

To be dealt this cruel hand

For we are all just footsteps in the sand

Do you remember when we so were wild and free

Not a problem for a thousand miles

We couldn't wait a moment to grow up and be

Our own men and women

Little did we know what we would see

I found a picture in my drawer from yesteryear

So young and full of hope and joy

It all seemed clear

I can remember like yesterday

Our whole lives ahead of us

Nothing stood in our way
