That's Why I'm Walking

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'
