Footprints on the dusty drive, left there yesterday
Leaves are turning bright red orange, starting to decay
One last chance before you go so let me hold you close
Sleep sleep tight my little Gene

Were you really here with me or was it just a dream
Moon shone on your dancing feet we were barefoot in the stream
Footsteps in this life will lead you farther from this night
Sleep sleep tight my little Gene

Chorus:
Standing in the doorway, ready for the world
That was me just yesterday, starting down that road
One last night before you go so let me hold you close
Sleep sleep tight my little Gene

Time was always passing, at morning light you’ll leave
Take my hand and smile for me I’ll try to hide my grief
One last night you’re mine to hold so sit upon my knee
Sleep sleep tight my little Gene

Chorus

Footprints on the dusty drive, left there yesterday
Leaves are turning bright red orange, starting to decay
One last chance before you go so let me hold you close
Sleep sleep tight my little Gene
