Just a baby cradled in my arms now a young lady, give the world your charms.
I kissed your tiny head wrapped safely in my hand now you’re walking in my footsteps, footprints in the sand.

Walking in my footsteps. Walking by the sea.
Life’s what we make it, try to step beyond our reach and we’ll be leaving our life’s footprints on the beach.

Helpless like a doll you danced me round the room. Fairy tales and Doctor Seuss, another funny tune. Laugh ‘til my face hurts, cry when you get mad. Walking in your footsteps, a friend, a man, my Dad.

Walking in my footsteps. Walking by the sea.
Life’s what we make it, try to step beyond our reach and we’ll be leaving our life’s footprints on the beach.

Bridge:

G: Please understand that I’m not you
D: I love you just for who you are. I’m here to guide you and to pick you up if you should ever fall
Walk proud, walk tall

Now I’m learning to travel my own road, Make my own footprints, carry my own load.
On that journey you can always count on me To celebrate your footsteps
Always be your princess
Your love unlocks my dreams and sets me free.

Walking in my footsteps. Walking by the sea.
Life’s what we make it, try to step beyond our reach and we’ll be leaving our life’s footprints on the beach.
And we’ll be leaving our life’s footprints on the beach.
