That's Why I'm Walking

Lyrics

I've got my angel on my mind

That's why I'm walkin'

There's such an ache in this old heart, well, I ain't talkin'

The little hand that held mine tight

Just waved goodbye tonight

I've got a sweet love on my mind

That's why I'm walkin'

With an old love on your mind

Life's not worth livin'

I breathe her name with every breath I'm breathin'

Why could I never see

How much she meant to me

I've got a sweet love on my mind

That's why I'm walkin'

With an old love on your mind

Life's not worth livin'

I breathe her name with every breath I'm breathin'

Why could I never see

How much she meant to me

I've got my angel on my mind

That's why I'm walkin'

I've got my angel on my mind

That's why I'm walkin'
