Footprints in the sand



Leona Lewis released her double A-side single "Better in Time / Footprints in the sand". In the UK music industry, double A-side means both songs will be released as singles (music videos) for the chart.

Why is it called double A-side as a CD has only one side? I think it is because in the past a cassete has one song on side A, and another song on side B. Usually the single will be released on music video from the Side A. Songs from the side B will just be another song, either from the album or not. Anyway, that is another story.

Her single version of the "Footprints in the sand" is quite different from the album version - more unplugged in the beginning. It is for the Sports Relief fund raising event. Love it! The lyrics is good. hahahaha. Below is the link to the video:

You walked with me
Footprints in the sand
And helped me understand
Where I’m going
You walked with me
When I was all alone
With so much unknown
Along the way
Then I heard you say

I promise you
I’m always there
When your heart is filled with sorrow and despair
I’ll carry you
When you need a friend
You’ll find my footprints in the sand

I see my life
Flash across the sky
So many times have I
Been so afraid
And just when I
I thought I’d lost my way
You gave me strength to carry on
That’s when I heard you say
Chorus
When I’m weary
I know you’ll be there
And I can feel you
When you say

Chorus x 2
