Footprints in The Snow
Uriah Heep · Come Away Melinda: Ballads [2006]
Who knows where my heart will go?
Will it lead me to you
Or will I see another empty day? Yeah
Seasons come and quickly go
Kinda makes me wonder if they know
Why my heart keeps running near and far
If only they could tell me where you are, oh
If you've ever been in love
Then you'll know the rocky road
I've been speaking of
You'll remember
When the times were good
And the times you had to do without
Think carefully my friend
It may look like the start
But it could be the end
Well, I'm not trying to bring you down
I'm just so tired of hangin' around
I won't make the same mistake again
If you've ever been in love
Then you'll know the rocky road
I've been speaking of
You'll remember
When the times were good
And the times you had to do without
Think carefully my friend
It may look like the start
But it could be the end
Think carefully my friend
It may look like the start
But it could be the end
Oh, think carefully my friend
