Bill Anderson Lyrics for Song: Not Really Living at All
 Lyrics for Album: Love Is a Sometimes Thing [Decca] [1970]
 
 
 
 6944>(Carl Watson - Del Trolinder)
 
 
 
 What is my reason for going on living
 
 When I'm not really living at all?
 
 I come home in the evening
 
 There's no laughter there to fill the air
 
 A cool lonely room to meet me
 
 Nobody here to greet me.
 
 Where has our love gone?
 
 And then my thoughts
 
 Begin to stray back to a happy yesterday
 
 When love was here beside me
 
 Your love was here to guide me
 
 where did I go wrong?
 
 
 
 What is my reason for going on living
 
 When I'm not really living at all?
 
 I reach down for the paper
 
 And I see a toy our little boy
 
 Left layin' there, it haunts me
 
 I wonder if he ever wants me
 
 To play his little games?
 
 I guess I never took the time
 
 To fix a hurt or make a rhyme
 
 Or carry him on my shoulder
 
 Will he forgive me when he's older
 
 Or will he remember my name?
 
 
 
 What is my reason for going on living
 
 When I'm not really living at all?
 
 I found a puppy down the street
 
 With big sad eyes and muddy feet
 
 There's nobody here to claim him
 
 No one ]round here to name him
 
 Or take him for a walk
 
 I keep him here for company
 
 And he looks up so sad at me
 
 Each time he sees me crying he knows
 
 Inside I'm dying if only he could talk.
 
 
 
 What is my reason for going on living
 
 When I'm not really living at all?
 
 
 
 What is my reason for going on living
 
 When I'm not really living at all?...
