(Harlan Howard)



Well I walked out and said it had to be this way

You're wanting me to settle down but I can't stay

Now you've done like I've told you you've found someone new

And I walked out on heaven when I walked out on you.



I smiled and gave away the key to happiness

I walked right out into a world of loneliness

And like all fools these tears I cried are overdue

For I walked out on heaven when I walked out on you.



I sat alone and think of how it could have been

And I don't think I'll ever care to smile again

I held an angel in my arms and never knew

For I walked out on heaven when I walked out on you.
