The Ones I Love The Most Lyrics

I'm walking up and down this big old street

I smile at every other face I meet

I know I'll never stop these wanderin' feet

From leaving the ones I love the most

The only thing that lodges in my heart

Is the hurt from which some day I know I'll part

In the happiness reluctantly I start

To leave the ones I love the most

I don't know why this soul must walk alone

I long for someone dear to call my own

I think of all the fleeting joy I've known

Before leaving the ones I love the most

Each morning boasts the lonely sun on high

The sunrise cracks then paints the sleeping sky

I wait with tears of joy and wonder why

I leave the ones I love the most
