I Walked out of Heaven (When I Walked out of You) Lyrics

(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.

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...
