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 we'll 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
