(Loretta Lynn)

There's a reason I keep living while I'm dyin' slow

Everybody thinks we're happy but we're not

I don't know why but I let him keep me cryin'

So I guess one little reason's all I've got

When I lay me down to sleep I know I must wake up

And the reason that I do sure means a lot

Someday my reason will grow up and then will break up

For this one little reason's all I've got

Little handprints on the wall little footsteps in the hall

And little arms that reach out for me in the night

And when she says I love you so my mommy

I know this one little reason's my whole life

[ steel ]

Little handprints on the wall...
