I've put my affairs in order
Before I must leave this place
Then I'll be waiting for you there
Until I see you face to face
I leave to you some heart prints
Before I must say 'good bye'
And footprints that you can follow
To meet me by and by
I leave to you my heartfelt thoughts
In ink on parchment I'll spill
Then all the prayers I've prayed for you
Would all the oceans fill
One by one you'll need them all
When you call out with a need
And all the love that's in my heart
I also bequeath to thee
After I go, I'll be watching for you
In Paradise, somewhere beyond the blue
Before you leave, when your work is done
Pass to those who will follow you
If you leave no heart prints
And your footprints go astray
Or you leave no love nor prayers to guide
They will never find their way
