Story behind the song

Was thinking what it will be like when my son is gone, everything I thought Ide never miss and how in the end I would miss them.

Lyrics

The kids have all grown up
With a little luck theyll be just fine
They seldom ever call 
I guess theyre getting on with their busy lives
Ill be watching reruns 
everytime I close my eyes
As my dreams drift me away 
To another place in time

(Chorus)
To little footsteps running down the hall
Fingerprint decorated kitchen walls
Two things I never thought Id miss
Sneakin in our room scared of thunderstorms
Graham cracker crumb coated tables and floors
Oh what a mess
but thats just it
Who wouldve thought Id ever miss 
Footsteps and fingerprints


Little Jimmie called today
The babies on the way 
He was petrified
Afraid he wont know what to do
The boy doesnt have a clue
But He'll be alright
Twenty Years ago 
I felt precisely the same way
Everything turned out alright
And Im thankful everyday

(Chorus)
