lyrics
Footsteps...
I can hear footsteps in the hall.
I hear footsteps,
Seems like I've been through this before.
Some time has come now,
Some time has passed,
But things still look the same.
Is heaven all above, and paradise below?
And the questions still remain.

Ooh, can we see you?
Ooh, are we near you?
How could you disappear out of here?
I wish for something,
I wish you were here.

Footsteps...
I can hear footsteps in the hall.
I hear footsteps,
It seems like I've been through this before.
Well we loved you then,
I guess we always will,
We love you still from here.
Birds of a feather always stay together.
And never separate, no fear.

Ooh, can we see you?
Ooh, are we near you?
How could you disappear out of here?
I wish for something, I wish for something,
I wish you were here, I wish you were here,
I wish you well.

Footsteps...
I can hear footsteps in the hall.
I hear footsteps,
Seems like I've been through this before.
If all the world was turning blue and gold,
Like through your eyes so clear.
The time has come to celebrate our past,
And crystalize this sphere.

Ooh, can we see you?
Ooh, are we near you?
How can you disappear out of here?
I wish for something
Ooh, can we see you?
Ooh, are we near you?
How can you disappear out of here?
I wish for something
I wish you were here,
I wish you were here,
I wish you well.

There will come a day,
Oh some day our day will come,
Our day will come, our day will come.
