Loretta Lynn
"One Little Reason" lyrics

One Little Reason

There's a reason
I keep living while I'm dying slow
Everybody thinks we're happy
But we're not
I don't know why
But I let him keep me crying 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

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
