"Final Touches" (1993)

Two Timin' Two Stepper lyrics - Conway Twitty

He tells his wife he's going back to work
To finish something he's left undone
And like a fool she believes every word
The door slams and he's on the run
To that other side of town
Where the music's turned up
And the lights are turned down.

He's a two timin' two stepper
Looking for a one-night stand
Sliding on the dance floor
Slippin' off his wedding band
He'll waltz into the heart
Of every pretty girl he can
Ooo, He's a two timin' two stepper
Looking for a one-night stand.

Everybody in town knows his name
They know his wife and they know his game
But he continues to play it just the same
'Cause he's a fool and he has no shame
But he always seems to find
Somebody new to believe his lines.

He's a two timin' two stepper
Looking for a one-night stand
Sliding on the dance floor
Slippin' off his wedding band
He'll waltz into the heart
Of every pretty girl he can
Ooo, He's a two timin' two stepper
Looking for a one-night stand.

He'll keep dancin' and foolin' around
Till the walls around him come a-tumblin' down.

He's a two timin' two stepper
Looking for a one-night stand
Sliding an the dance floor
Slippin' off his wedding band
He'll waltz into the heart
Of every pretty girl he can
Ooo, He's a two timin' two stepper
Looking for a one-night stand.

He's a two timin' two stepper
Looking for a one-night stand...

I Hurt For You lyrics - Conway Twitty

You know it kills me to see you crying
To think of all your love he's been denyin'
And I can't blame you for feeling cheated
Being so in love and so unneeded
But, the reason you keep trying is a feelin' that I know.

Oh, I hurt for you everytime he breaks your heart
Baby, I hurt for you and it's tearing me apart
To care the way I do, baby, I'm a fool
I watch you long for him and I hurt for you.

So love won't work out the way you planned it
Darling, all to well I understand it
But I'll be right here to console you
If that's the only chance I'll have to hold you
'Cause you're so lonely being stranded
With a dream you can't let go.

Oh, I hurt for you everytime he breaks your heart
Baby, I hurt for you and it's tearing me apart
To care the way I do, baby, I'm a fool
I watch you long for him and I hurt for you.

Oh, if you could want the one who loves you
Oh, maybe you would want me now
If you could just see how

I hurt for you everytime he breaks your heart
Baby, I hurt for you and it's tearing me apart
To care the way I do, baby, I'm a fool
I watch you long for him and I hurt for you.

I know you long for him, but I hurt for you...

Don't It Make You Lonely lyrics - Conway Twitty

Couples walking in the park
Seeing them just breaks my heart in two, right in two
Wonder how you spend your time
Do you know that I'm still missing you, missing you
Am I the only one who can't stand a midnight train
Or do you hear that whistle moan and want my love again.

Ah don't it make you lonely,
Don't it make you wanna cry out loud
Don't it make you want me,
Don't it make you wanna work it out
Don't it make your heart ache
Even though you're finally free
Don't it make you lonely, lonely like me?

When you hear a sad song play
Does a teardrop lay there in your eye, do you cry
When you're alone and the day is done
Don't you wish we'd give it one more try,
Ah, just one more try?

And do you reach out in the
Middle of the night to find me gone
'Cause if you feel the way I do
Then baby why don't you come home

Ah, don't it make you lonely,
Don't it make you wanna cry out loud
Don't it make you want me,
Don't it make you wanna work it out
Don't it make your heart ache
Even though you're finally free
Don't it make you lonely, lonely like me?

Ah, don't it make you lonely, lonely like me?..

I'm The Only Thing (I'll Hold Against You) lyrics - Conway Twitty

Yesterday, you walked away and left me
Today, you say you're sorry that we're through
Our love will work, we'll heal the hurt so help me
Laying blame's the last thing I would do.

I'm the only thing I'll hold against you
Let my loving arms show you the truth
There'll be no I told you sos
No matter how much heartache we go through
I love you, and I'm the only thing I'll hold against you.

I know it'd be just like the first time that I held you
When we swore that our love would always last
Lets give it one more try, don't be afraid to
One touch and we'll forget about the past.

I'm the only thing I'll hold against you
Let my loving arms show you the truth
There'll be no I told you sos
No matter how much heartache we go through
I love you, and I'm the only thing I'll hold against you.

Sometimes things go wrong
Between a woman and a man
I know we'll make it work,
All we need is a second chance

I'm the only thing I'll hold against you
Let my loving arms show you the truth
There'll be no I told you sos
No matter how much heartache we go through
I love you, and I'm the only thing I'll hold against you.

I'm the only thing I'll hold against you...

I Don't Love You lyrics - Conway Twitty

Pray before I close my eyes
Please don't be in my dreams again tonight
I don't love you.
There's no place in your life for me
So just get out of mine and let me be
I don't love you.

I don't stare at your photograph,
Wishing I could get you back
I don't need you at all
I swear it's true
I don't love you.

Think I'll go out on the town
Find someone to wrap my arms around
I don't love you.
I won't think twice when she's kissing me,
I won't be haunted by your memories
'Cause, I don't love you.

I don't think of the night you left
How you left me with no regrets
You just turned to me so calm and cool
And said, "I don't love you."

Ooo, I don't love you is what I say,
When the pain is too much to take
Over and over till I believe, it's true,
I don't love you.

I don't love you.
I don't love you.
I don't love you...


The Likes Of Me lyrics - Conway Twitty

Baby, I bet your ears have been burnin'
'Cause the fence-post gossip wheels have been turnin'
They're sayin' you gave your love and got taken
And once again your heart is breakin'
You're thinkin' lonely is your destiny
You ain't ever been loved by the likes of me.

I'd like to be at your beck and call
I'd like to stay around for the long haul
Startin' tonight, I'd like to make sweet memories
Now, you ain't ever been loved by the likes of me.

If you need a helpin' hand to start over
Baby, I can give you more than a shoulder
You said you're havin' trouble believin'
That I won't be lovin' and leavin'
I say you've been hurtin' needlessly
It's high time you were loved by the likes of me.

I'd like to be at your beck and call
I'd like to stay around for the long haul
Startin' tonight, I'd like to make sweet memories
Now, you ain't ever been loved by the likes of me.

I'd like to be at your beck and call
I'd like to stay around for the long haul
Startin' tonight, I'd like to make sweet memories
Now, you ain't ever been loved by the likes of me.

You ain't ever been loved by the likes of me
Now, you ain't ever been loved by the likes of me...

An Old Memory Like Me lyrics - Conway Twitty

There's a clock on the wall
At the end of the hall
That hasn't kept time in years
There's an old tattered bear
In the bedroom somewhere
'Cause ya can't hardly sleep 'less it's near
There's an old box of letters
I know you still save
'Cause you're too sentimental
To throw them away
But is there room in your heart
For an old memory like me

There's an old satin gown
Been twice handed down
You were savin' for your wedding day
But you married in haste
What a terrible waste
And it never got used anyway
There's a bottle of champainge
It's french 59
But you might as well drink it
To happier times
Is there room in your heart
For an old memory like me

I used to tease you
'Cause you couldn't part with
things that were no use at all
now I'm afraid that you'll toss them away
after all

like the clock on the wall
at the end of the hall
that hasn't kept time in years
like the old tattered bear
in the bedroom somewhere
ya can't hardly sleep 'less it's near
there's a bottle of champainge
it's french 59
but you might as well drink it
to happier times
is there room in your heart
for an old memory like me
mmm hmm
is there room in your heart
for an old memory like me
mmm hmm
mmm hmm

Final Touches lyrics - Conway Twitty

I never felt the way I feel tonight
Here with you in the pale moonlight
Tender love songs on the radio,
Sweet, sweet music that lets feelings flow
There's love in our hearts and the stars above us
All that's left are the final touches.

Warm wine chilling in the mountain stream
Sweet Magnolias drifting on the breeze
Soft, southern accent on your ruby red lips
The promise held in your fingertips.

For the searching hand of midnight lovers
All that's left are the final touches.

This perfect picture of you and me
One more move and it'll be complete.

For the searching hand of midnight lovers
All that's left are the final touches.

All that's left are the final touches...

You Are To Me lyrics - Conway Twitty

Last Friday night down at the diner
Booth in back, they sat alone
Holding hands like two young lovers
Her hair was gray and his was gone.

She said to him I'm getting older
A pretty girl, no more to be
Heaven knows I'm not a treasure
He softly said, you are to me.

You are to me a girl in springtime
The one I met so long ago
A moment captured for a lifetime
That's what I see you are to me.

He said to her my work is done, now
And all that's left are memories
Heaven knows I'm not important
She softly said, you are to me.

You are to me a boy in springtime
The one I met so long ago
A moment captured for a lifetime
That's what I see, you are to me.
That's what I see, you are to me.

Last Friday night down at the diner...

You Ought To Try It Sometime lyrics - Conway Twitty

I want a honky-tonk girl,
I want a honky-tonk song
I'd like to pull my saddle off
And send my pony home.

I've got fast cars, fast planes
Fast trains everything
Never gets me there on time
You've got the bossman
Tax man screwing up my game plan
Messing with my mind.

You've got a bad moods, attitude
Every day can take a few
Good years off of my mind
But I put them back on
When the band kicks off
Every Saturday night.

I get a honky-tonk girl
And a honky-tonk song
Then I pull my saddle off
And send my pony home.

We're gonna dance all night
In and out of that line
With a rockin' beat
To get you on your feet
You ought to try it sometime.

Well, talk to me big wheel
Can you tell me what's the deal
Won't you let a poor boy slide
Back dent, pay the rent
Got to send them every cent
But I'm gonna survive.

With a honky-tonk girl
And a honky-tonk song
Then I pull my saddle off
And send my pony home.

We're gonna dance all night
In and out of that line
With a rockin' beat
To get you on your feet
You ought to try it sometime.

I get a honky-tonk girl
And a honky-tonk song
Then I pull my saddle off
And send my pony home...

"Even Now" (1991)

She's Got A Man On Her Mind lyrics - Conway Twitty

See that far away look on her face
Twisting her hair, staring out into space
Theres no talking to her, don't even try
Better save your breath and just walk on by
She wasnt looking when he caught her eye
But now she can't see enough of that guy
Her head is spinning like a carnival wheel
Its getting scary but she loves how it feels.

Because shes got a man on her mind
Stirring in her soul, taking up all her time,
She's got all the symptoms, she's showing all the signs
She's got a man on her mind.

She's seeing less and less of the girls
Can't seem to fit them into her new world
Always the first to say that love wouldnt last
Now she's the one thats falling and shes falling pretty fast.

Because she's got a man on her mind
Stirring in her soul, taking up all her time,
She's got all the symptoms, she's showing all the signs
She's got a man on her mind.

It ain't been easy, just hanging tough,
even harder Understanding why she needs him so much
She's not herself when he's not around
Why he's even got her thinking 'bout settlin' down.

Because she's got a man on her mind
Stirring in her soul, taking up all her time,
She's got all the symptoms, she's showing all the signs
She's got a man on her mind.

Because she's got a man on her mind
Stirring in her soul, taking up all her time,
She's got all the symptoms, she's showing all the signs
She's got a man on her mind...

Even Now lyrics - Conway Twitty

Even now, your memory takes my breath away.
I'd give my heart to relive yesterday
When our love was sometihng new.
And even now, your perfume clings to the pillow where
I reach out for you but no one's there.
That's when I have to face the truth.

Too many times I lie and make you cry
And never see how it was tearin' you apart.
Now I see how much I lost
Each day I sadly pay the cost
Of breakin' both our hearts.

Told your friends the next time that she talks to you.
To say I'm so alone and feelin' blue
And if you want me to I'll crawl.
So if you find my memory lingers on your mind.
That telephone won't ring a second time.
I'll be here waiting for your call.

Please come home.
I learned how bad it hurts to be alone.
And how it feels to wake and find love gone.
I'll make it up to you somehow.

I need you here.
And I guess that makes us, even now...

Someday You'll Love Me lyrics - Conway Twitty

Might be dreamin', might be crazy
Thinkin' you might love me maybe
Poor hearts pounding, overflowin'
Taking bets, I know where it's goin'

Someday you'll love me, it's written in the stars
Someday you need me, to hold you in my arms
Someday you'll want me, just as much as I want you

Someday you'll love me, I will be the one
Someday you need me, just call and I will come
Someday you'll love me just as much as I love you
Just as much as I love you

There's a glimmer in you eye now
What I'm sure of soon you'll find out
Oh, I want you moonlight dancin'
I won't take no for no answer

Someday you'll love me, it's written in the stars
Someday you need me, to hold you in my arms
Someday you'll want me, just as much as I want you

Someday you'll love me, I will be the one
Someday you need me, just call and I will come
Someday you'll love me just as much as I love you
Just as much as I love you

Someday you'll love me, it's written in the stars
Someday you need me, to hold you in my arms
Someday you'll want me, just as much as I want you

Someday you'll love me, I will be the one
Someday you need me, just call and I will come
Someday you'll love me just as much as I love you
Just as much as I love you

She's In Love lyrics - Conway Twitty

My heart is beating so, just to know she is near
And when she speaks my name, her voice is all I can hear
The feeling she feels deep down inside
It touches my heart, brings tears to my eyes

'Cause she's in love when she looks at me
It's plain to see that she's in love
She's just not in love with me

As she gently takes my hand and tells me she's his for the taking
She'll never understand the way that my heart is breaking
We've been such friends, so I'll never tell
How I love her so while I wish her well

She's in love when she looks at me
It's plain to see that she's in love
She's just not in love and she'll never be
She's just not in love with me

You Put It There lyrics - Conway Twitty

You see this smile on my face
You put it there
There was a time you couldn't barely trace
Any one anywhere.

Now I got dreams, the future's mine
Built outta rock, it won't turn to sand
Cause I got love in my life
And you put it there.

There's a high step in my walk
And you put it there
You make me feel ten feet tall
Because you care.

I had no one to call my own
Spent every night all alone.
Now I've got love in my life
And you put it there.

Oh, what a difference
Your sweet love made in me
I was like a puzzle with pieces missin'
So incomplete.

But you put me together
With two loving arms
Made me feel like I am someone
Yeah, I got love in my life
And you put it there.

Talkin' 'bout love in my life
And you put it there

Life's Too Short (No Matter How Long It Lasts) lyrics - Conway Twitty

Big brother had a treehouse club when he was only ten
I didn't know the secret code, so they wouldn't let me in
They told me I was much too young for the kind of games they played
I remember, I would sit and cry, wishin' I was twice my age.

My grandpa was the only one with a sympathetic ear
Patiently, he'd comfort me when I was close to tears
And I'd say gramps, why does it take so long for time to pass
And he'd say, sport, life's too short no matter how long it lasts.

Too soon you'll see how suddenly tomorrow becomes the past
Life's too short no matter how long it lasts.

At twenty-one, they called me home, cause Grandpa's time was near
We gathered 'round his bedside, fighting back the tears
I said, Grandpa, we can't let you go, even though you're ninety-three
He said, I'd love to stay, but it ain't up to me.

And then, we heard him whisper in a voice that was fading fast
Life's too short no matter how long it lasts.

Today my little grandson came and climbed up on my knee
He said, why can't I be all grown up, instead of only three
And then, those old familiar words came tumbling from the past
And, I said, sport, life's too short no matter how long it lasts.

Too soon you'll see how suddenly tomorrow becomes the past
Life's too short no matter how long it lasts.

Life's much too short, no matter how long it lasts...

Let The Pretty Lady Dance lyrics - Conway Twitty

Tonight she dances all alone
She sways and the jukebox plays on and on
It's into the music, she's gone

Someone let her down, oh, I understand
Me, I'd be happy just holdin' her hand
People, step aside, let the pretty lady dance

Oh, I wonder what I could say
A word to help take the hurt away
I feel what she feels as she sways

Someone let her down, oh, I understand
Me, I'd be happy just holdin' her hand
People, step aside, let the pretty lady dance

Her eyes, I see a teardrop fall
Her dream was only a dream, that's all
She turns her face to the wall

Someone let her down, oh, I understand
Me, I'd be happy just holdin' her hand
People, step aside, let the pretty lady dance

Lots of things in life break a heart in two
Sometimes just dancin's the best we can do
People, step aside, let the pretty lady dance

Every Time I Think It's Over lyrics - Conway Twitty

When we run into problems
It's always hard for me to compromise
I get to thinkin' 'bout my freedom
And all the ways that I could start another life
And I wonder if our forever could be coming to an end
So, everytime I think it's over, I think it over again.

Too many hearts get broken
I know that happens all the time
But, when you split love down the middle
Tell me, where do you draw the line
Anyway you look at it, does anybody win
So, everytime I think it's over, I think it over again.

I've finally come to realize
That ups and downs are all a part of love
And, there's just no better feelin'
When the angers dies, and we start making up
And, from that new beginning we come back to being friends
And, everytime I think it's over, I think it over again.

Too many hearts get broken
I know that happens all the time
But, when you split love down the middle
Tell me, where do you draw the line
Anyway you look at it, does anybody win
So, everytime I think it's over, I think it over again.

And everytime I think it's over, I think it over again...

It's Such A Heartache lyrics - Conway Twitty

Each time I dial your number
I never get an answer
It seems like you're avoiding me

I can't take unhappy endings
So I just keep pretending
You'll see the light eventually

Can't stop my heart from breaking
Can't stop my hands from shaking
Can't keep my eyes from crying
Can't believe your love is dying

Can't stop the rain from falling
No answer when I'm calling
My love, it's so confusing
It's such a heartache losing you

Feels like some tragic movie
Please say you'll come back to me
Dreaming of you night after night

I'm having trouble sleeping
Your memory is keeping
These feelings running through my mind

Can't stop my heart from breaking
Can't stop my hands from shaking
Can't keep my eyes from crying
Can't believe your love is dying

Can't stop the rain from falling
No answer when I'm calling
My love, it's so confusing
It's such a heartache losing you

It's such a heartache
I don't know what to do
It's such a heartache
And it's tearing me in two

You took away the dream
I wanted more than anything

Can't stop my heart from breaking
Can't stop my hands from shaking
Can't keep my eyes from crying
Can't believe your love is dying

Can't stop the rain from falling
No answer when I'm calling
My love, it's so confusing
It's such a heartache losing you

Can't stop my heart from breaking
Can't stop my hands from shaking
Can't keep my eyes from crying
Can't believe your love is dying

Can't stop the rain from falling
No answer when I'm calling
My love, it's so confusing
It's such a heartache losing you

Who Did They Think He Was lyrics - Conway Twitty

A child was born in Tupelo
In 1935
I'm grateful for his music
It forever changed my life.

Oh, I loved, love me tender
And how that boy could sing
But when he died I wondered why
Millions called him King.

Tell me, who did they think
Who did they think He was?
Who did they think
Who did they think He was?

The whole world bowed and prayed
But it only made me say
Who did they think
Who did they think He was?

He was born in Massachussetts
In 1917
The second son of an Irishman
Oh, we all loved Kennedy.

He was brave and strong and handsome
A helluva a president
But when he died
Millions cried like he was heaven sent.

Tell me who did they think
Who did they think He was?
Who did they think
Who did they think he was?

The whole world bowed and prayed
But it only made me say
Who did they think
Who did they think He was?

There was a child of heaven
Born in Bethlehem
Just a simple carpenter
With worn and callused hands.

Oh, he healed the heart of many
So they nailed him to a tree
With no one left to mourn his death
But the women at his feet.

Crying, Who did they think
Who did they think He was
Who did they think
Who did they think He was?

There was no one left to grieve
But the women at his feet
Crying, who did they think
Who did they think He was?

Who did they think
Who did they think He was?...

"Crazy In Love" (1990)

A Little Of You lyrics - Conway Twitty

Today, I put on your favorite shirt
I know you won't see me, but what can it hurt
It's just a piece of your memory that stayed behind
It hangs in my closet and here in my mind.

Oh, oh, In every thing that I do
There will always be a little of you
In my soul emblazened and blue
There will always be a little of you.

In every smile I have to force on my face
In every tear that I ever taste
In every victory that I like to share
In every loss when I wish you were there, beside me.

Oh, oh, in everything that I do
There will always be a little of you
In my soul emblazened and blue
There will always be a little of you.

I'm all over the pain
But the scars remain, to remind me.

Oh, oh, in everything that I do
There will always be a little of you
In my soul emblazened and blue
There will always be a little of you.

Oh, oh, there's a little of you...

Crazy In Love lyrics - Conway Twitty

Ain't it funny how time
Steals the feelings from a love affair
And there's no place to lay the blame
It ain't a case of no one cares
Helplessly just watch it fade away
Neither will admit we're both aching to say.

Ooo, I miss the days when we were crazy in love
When you weren't so sure of me
I had my little jealousies
Ooo, bring back the days when we were crazy in love
I need to feel that way again
Remember when we were crazy in love.

Oh, it used to be so easy one touch and you were high
And I could get intoxicated just by looking in your eyes
Baby ain't there anything we can do
'Cause I know you're missing me
As much as I've been missing you.

Ooo, I miss the days when we were crazy in love
When you weren't so sure of me
I had my little jealousies
Ooo, bring back the days when we were crazy in love
I need to feel that way again
Remember when we were crazy in love.

We were more than best of friends
We were crazy in love
Crazy in love
Crazy in love...

When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman lyrics - Conway Twitty

When you're in love with a beautiful woman
It's hard
When you're in love with a beautiful woman
Well, it's hard
Everybody wants her
Everybody loves her
Everybody wants to take your baby home.

When you're in love with a beautiful woman
You watch your friends
When you're in love with a beautiful woman
It never ends
You know that it's crazy
You want to trust her
Then somebody hangs up when you answer the phone
When you're in love with a beautiful woman
You go it alone.

Maybe it's just an ego problem
Problem is I've been fooled before
By fair-weather friends and faint-hearted lovers
And everytime it happens
It just convinces me more.

When you're in love with a beautiful woman
You watch her eyes
When you're in love with a beautiful woman
You look for lies
Everybody tempts her
Everybody tells her
She's the most beautiful woman they know.

When you're in love with a beautiful woman.

When you're in love with a beautiful woman...

I'm Tired Of Being Something (That Means Nothing To You) lyrics - Conway Twitty

Everybody tells me I'd be better off without you
They say one-sided love affairs tend to leave you lonely, sad, and blue
But, I'm finding it hard to say goodbye to something I hold true
And, I'm tired of being something that means nothing to you.

I'd love to see the day you come and tell me I'm the only one you need
You've got me right where you want me, right where I shouldn't be
But, I'm finding it hard to say goodbye to something I hold true
Oh, and I'm tired of being something that means nothing to you.

I'm tired of being everything that you don't care anything about
It's just enough to be too much for me to take, and I want out
You're in and out of love with me, not realizing all you put me through
And, I'm tired of being something that means nothing to you.

Oh, I'm tired of being something that means nothing to you...

What's Another Goodbye lyrics - Conway Twitty

Don't you worry so much about it
I knew someday you'd say goodbye
No need in crying, we both can do without it
And, I'll fall in love again bye and bye.

What's a penny to a millionaire?
What's another seashell to the sea?
It's okay, I'll probably survive it
What's another goodbye to a fool like me?

I just can't fight it, I'm a lover
I'm a sucker for the moon and a lonely night
I'll keep on going through one heart after the other
And, hope someday I'll get it right.

What's a penny to a millionaire?
What's another seashell to the sea?
It's okay, I'll probably survive it
What's another goodbye to a fool like me?

Go on, I know you've got to do it
So, go on, I'm gettin' good at living through it.

What's a penny to a millionaire?
What's another seashell to the sea?
It's okay, I'll probably survive it
What's another goodbye to a fool like me?



Shadow Of A Distant Friend lyrics - Conway Twitty

Like a muddy river runnin' wild and deep
You've got a flaming memory that keeps burning me
Just when I think you love me, doubt creeps in
I still feel the shadow of your distant friend.

It's a major heartache when you lose your trust
Then the love you're feelin' begins to rust
Just when the sun is shinin', doubt creeps in
I still feel the shadow of your distant friend.

I still feel the past each time you touch me
Will that fire in your mind ever end
I'm so afraid our love may turn to ashes
'Cause, I still feel the shadow of your distant friend.

You know, I really love you, but your heart's confused
By that achin' fever that keeps haunting you
Just when I think it's over, it starts again
I still feel the shadow of your distant friend.

I still feel the past each time you touch me
Will that fire in your mind ever end
I'm so afraid our love may turn to ashes
'Cause, I still feel the shadow of your distant friend.

Yeah, I still feel the shadow of your distant friend...

One Bridge I Didn't Burn lyrics - Conway Twitty

I know how long it's been
So, if I can't come in
Then let me just talk to you through the door

I'm a man without a place
Lost, and lookin' for a trace
Of the warm and tender love we had before

I closed every door behind me
Shook my shoes and walked away
Turned my back on you and everything I had yesterday

It's a long, hard road
That leads back from the point of no return
And, I'm just lookin' for one bridge I didn't burn

This river looks so wide
Standing on the lonely side
And, wishing I could be back home again

I'd do anything at all
Just to find a way across
And, to know that you'd forgive the fool I've been

I closed every door behind me
Shook my shoes and walked away
Turned my back on you and everything I had yesterday

It's a long, hard road
That leads back from the point of no return
And, I'm just lookin' for one bridge I didn't burn

I Couldn't See You Leavin' lyrics - Conway Twitty

Lying all alone in this midnight blue
With nothing but these memories of you
Staring at these walls that are closing in
Wondering if you're ever coming back again.

Now I'm just a prisoner in this big old bed
Living with the things that I should've said
Why is it always after someone's gone
That you begin to see where you went wrong.

I couldn't see you leaving, but I can see you're gone
That note you left on my pillow said I was on my own
I never heard you crying, 'cause I was seldom home
I couldn't see you leaving, but I can see you're gone.

I just keep wondering where you are tonight
And if someone else is holding you tight
It took you walking out the door to see
That I'm really nothing when you're not with me.

I did a good job of fooling myself
Thinking that you're love would stay on the shelf
But how could anybody be so blind
To have to wake up alone and find.

I couldn't see you leaving, but I can see you're gone
That note you left on my pillow said I was on my own
I never heard you crying, 'cause I was seldom home
I couldn't see you leaving, but I can see you're gone.

I couldn't see you leaving, but I can see you're gone...

Just The Thought Of Losing You lyrics - Conway Twitty

Two different worlds, somehow find a way to come together
Moving so close 'til now and we find ourselves alone
So it's one more lonely night
I try to feel like it was over

But just the thought of losing you
And the emptiness is more than I can take
Living without loving you, my senses all break down now
Girl, I'm lost at just the thought of losing you

All of my life, no one else ever meant enough to hold me
I've been afraid of myself and the way I needed you
You've been waiting much too long
I don't need to think it over

And, just the thought of losing you
And the emptiness is more than I can take
Living without loving you, my senses all break down now
Girl, I'm lost at just the thought of losing you

Just the thought of losing you
And the emptiness is more than I can take
Just the thought of losing you
I close my eyes now, I can't see it end this way

Heart's Breakin' All Over Town lyrics - Conway Twitty

Hush, hush
Everyone who had a great big crush
Just hit the ground
Yeah, that's the sound
Of hearts breakin' all over town

Hey, hey, guys, I see you've heard the news
Sooner or later she had to choose
Yeah, we all thought we might be the one
Now, she's gone and tied the knot
And everybody looks so stunned

Hush, hush
Everyone who had a great big crush
Just hit the ground
Yeah, that's the sound
Of hearts breakin' all over town

She had looks and such a charming way
You know, girls like her don't come along every day
She cast a spell you could not resist
Now, all of us are moping around
Crying 'bout the chance we missed

Hush, hush
Everyone who had a great big crush
Just hit the ground
Yeah, that's the sound
Of hearts breakin' all over town

Hush, hush

"House On Old Lonesome Road" (1989)

She's Got A Single Thing In Mind lyrics - Conway Twitty

She can't find the words to break it to me
cause she always was the gentle kind
she's hopin' I'll hear it from a friend somewhere
she's hopin' I'll read between the lines
but it comes as no surprise
cause she told me with her eyes
so watch her untie the tie that binds
she's got a single thing in mind

She's already gone except in body
it's just a matter now, of time
well I should have seen
the storm clouds gatherin
but he who won't look is just as blind
so there's only me to blame
when my woman dropped my name
so watch her untie the tie that binds
she's got a single thing in mind

So watch her untie the tie that binds
she's got a single thing in mind

Who's Gonna Know lyrics - Conway Twitty

I know you know whats on my mind
Its been coming on for some time
Theres no way for us to stop it
If we just let go
Who's gonna know (who's gonna know if we touch each other)
Who's gonna know (who's gonna know how it feels together)
If we share our love, who's gonna know?

We've run away from this before
But we can't do that anymore
Sitting here with our hearts on fire
Any nobodys looking
Who's gonna know (who's gonna know if we touch each other)
Who's gonna know (if we spend this night together)
If we share our love, who's gonna know?

Lets go down that narrow road to heaven
Who's gonna find out?
Who's gonna hurt if we do?
Who's gonna know?

If we share our love, who's gonna know?...

Play, Ruby, Play lyrics - Conway Twitty

Well, Ruby, she was a redneck beauty
She loved Little Richard and sang 'Tootie Fruitie'
And wanted her name in lights and wore her dresses tight
Yeah, Ruby was a victim of circumstance
'Cause she liked to wiggle and boogie dance
Out in the country she hardly ever got the chance

She had a local band, played the local bars
Had the local boys breathin' hard
She had hillbilly eyes that could shine in the dark
She had a country soul and a rock 'n' roll heart

And her whole body shook when she stood up and played the piano
And the boys say, "Play, Ruby, play, we really like the way you do it
Play, Ruby, play, we love the way you get into it"
She made the young men scream and the old men moan
Rock on, rock on, rock on

Sometimes at night with the full moon beamin'
She would run around the mountain kickin' and screamin'
Sayin', If I don't get out on the road I'm gonna explode
Last time I saw her she was down in the city
Shakin' and shoutin', making plenty
Yeah, Ruby was a sight to behold, she was on a roll

She had a local band, played the local bars
Had the local boys breathin' hard
She had hillbilly eyes that could shine in the dark
She had a country soul and a rock 'n' roll heart

And her whole body shook when she stood up and played the piano
And the boys say, "Play, Ruby, play, we really like the way you do it
Play, Ruby, play, we love the way you get into it"
She made the young men scream and the old men moan
Rock on, rock on, rock on
Rock on, rock on, rock on

Well, Ruby, she was a redneck beauty
She loved Little Richard and sang 'Tootie Fruitie'
And wanted her name in lights and wore her dresses tight
Yeah, Ruby was a victim of circumstance
'Cause she liked to wiggle and boogie dance
Out in the country she hardly ever got the chance

House On Old Lonesome Road lyrics - Conway Twitty

Every night it's the same old time,
I leave work at five-o-five
Been doing my best to forget about her
But she's driving me out of my mind.

When I get home, I know what I'll find,
How I wish that it wasn't so
There'll be no one there to hold me tonight,
In that house on old lonesome road.

I recall how we laughed
When we read the name
In the paper before we moved in,
After we did our friends all asked
If that house was lonesome back then.

We were so young, our dreams were so new,
There's just no way that we could have known,
The irony of that place where we loved,
That house on Old lonesome road.

It's only shingles and shutters
And a case of worn out stairs
And just like my old heart they need repair,
Maybe I should sell it,
Yeah, maybe that would be the best,
Maybe then someone else could find
Some love at that address.

I used to love that old house so much
Back before she went away
Now everything there is just gathering dust,
I should clean it up if I'm going to stay.

I don't have too much time anymore,
I'm too busy talking to ghosts,
'Cause her memory, keeps me compay,
In that house on old lonesome road.

It's only shingles and shutters
And a case of worn out stairs
And just like my old heart they need repair,
Maybe I should sell it,
Yeah, maybe that would be the best,
Maybe then someone else could find
Some love at that address.

Every night it's the same old time,
I leave work at five-o-five, been
Doing my best to forget about her,
But she's driving me out of my mind...

Nobody Can Fill Your Shoes lyrics - Conway Twitty

In this life there's a light only you can shine
Down this road there is gold only you can find
While you're walking down the road of life
There is so much you can do
And nobody can fill you shoes, (nobody) can fill you shoes.

There's a word, we haven't heard, only you can say
You're the friend I might meet along the way
There's a song deep inside your heart no one can sing like you
And nobody can fill you shoes, (nobody) can fill you shoes.

Nobody, (nobody) nobody, (nobody)
Hey nobody, (nobody) can fill your shoes.

While you walking (walking) down this road of life
There's only so much you can do
Nobody, (nobody) nobody, (nobody)
Hey nobody, (nobody) can fill your shoes

Private Part Of My Heart lyrics - Conway Twitty

Operator I'm calling long distance please.
Charge it to my room, 702.

Hello, baby. No there's nothing wrong
You know me when I'm away from you
You see a blue moon hanging
Low outside our window?
And it's hard to sleep with
All of those feelin's around?

Oooh, if I had wings tonight
You could imagine things
I never wanted you more
Than I want you right now.

Lookin' out at the city
It sparkles and it shines
But it holds no fascination
Compared to you.

Save me some long nights
And your wildest dreams
And all of your love
and some of that moon.

Life may take me down
A winding road.
But nothing in this world
Can change my love.

Forever you can believe
you'll always be here with me
In the warmest private part of my heart.

Right here,
In the warmest private part of my heart.
Right here...

Child With Child lyrics - Conway Twitty

She was still just a baby in her mama's eyes.
Daddy's little girl only yesterdaym my how time flies.
She learned all about romance from watching TV
And in one night alone with the boy down the street.

Child With Child. Mother to be.
Carryin' a secret she know she can't keep.
Child With Child. Lying awake.
Thinking about all the hearts she will break.

Will her friends all whisper when she passes by?
Will there be shame or love in her daddy's eyes?
She can run from her hometown but she can't run away
From the new life inside her growing each day.

Child With Child. Mother to be.
Carryin' a secret she knows she can't keep.
Child With Child. Lying awake.
Thinking about all the hearts she will break.

She's just a Child With Child...



Take Me Home To Mama lyrics - Conway Twitty

I want you to take me home to mama
Introduce me to your friends
I want you to take me home to mama
I'm ready to take a chance on love again

I didn't need a lover
I was happy on my own
I didn't want another
Girls are melted for the phone

But since the day I met you
Oh, my attitude has changed
I think I'm gonna let you
Start turning out the flames

Come on and take me home to mama
Introduce me to your friends
I want you to take me home to mama
I'm ready to take a chance on love again

I really want to meet her
I want to raise a doll like you
And tell her that's she's sweeter
Than any other girl I knew

I tell her not to worry
'Cause her baby is in good hands
I don't mean to hurry
But just as soon as you can

I want you to take me home to mama
Introduce me to your friends
Come on and take me home to mama
I'm ready to take a chance on love again

When you started calling
I was just telling time
Then I started fallin'
And here's what's on my mind

I want you to take me home to mama
Introduce me to your friends
Take me home to your mama
I'm ready to take a chance on love again

I'm ready to take a chance on love again
Yeah, I'm ready to take a chance on love again

Pieces Of You lyrics - Conway Twitty

Pieces of you all scattered around
Pieces of love that's all over now
What can I do? I'll never be free
With pieces of you all over me

There's a letter in the dresser
And a picture in the hall
There's my mem'ry to remind me
And heartaches you left laying wall to wall

Pieces of you all scattered around

There's nothing really left for me to cling to
But these pieces of a dream that fell apart
And living's slowly killing me without you
Not to mention what it's doing to my heart

What can I do? I'll never be free
With pieces of you all over me

Too White To Sing The Blues lyrics - Conway Twitty

The day i hit this music town looking for a deal.
I was green as government ink on a twenty dollar bill.
I signed a lot of papers. Didn't know what I had to lose.
Make no mistake about it, now,
You can't be too white to sing the blues.

Some folks make it fast down here. Some folks make it slow.
Learning how the hard way taught me everything I know.
When that old highway is your teacher,
A country boy can get confused.
But one thing I know for certain,
You can't be too white to sing the blues.

I've learned how to whistle. I've learned how to lose.
I've walked a mile in everybody's shoes.
Well, you can laugh out loud if you want to.
But you can't be too white to sing the blues.

Someday when I'm old and rich and I don't work no more.
I'm gonna find myself a rockin' chair,
And I'm gonna sit on my front porch.
And as that old sun is settin' a I'm gonna howl at the rising moon.
Well, you can go out rockin' now,
But you can't be too white to sing the blues.

I've learned how to whistle. I've learned how to lose.
I've walked a mile in everybody's shoes.
Well you can laugh out loud if you want to.
But you can't be too white to sing yhe blues.

You can't be too white to sing the blues...


"Still In Your Dreams" (1988)

(I Wish I Was) Still In Your Dreams lyrics - Conway Twitty

I saw you through a cafe window down on second avenue
The passage of time sure has been good to you
I was tempted for just a moment to run out in the street
But what do you say when two old lovers meet.

You say hello, (hello) how are you
You're doing well it seems.
I wish I was better at bein' alone
I wish I was still in your dreams.

I spent a lot of lonely hours staring at this phone of mine
Knowing your just a heart beat down the line
Once I even dialed your number, but I couldn't let it ring
What do you say to a sweet memory.

You say hello, (hello) how are you
You're doing well it seems.
I wish I was better at bein' alone
I wish I was still in your dreams.

In my favorite fantasy
You're the one who's missing me
It all comes back so easily
When I hear you say.

You say hello, (hello) how are you
You're doing well it seems.
I wish I was better at bein' alone
I wish I was still in your dreams.

I wish I was better at bein' alone
I wish I was still in your dreams...


Your Loving Side lyrics - Conway Twitty

You and I have known a love beyond compare
Oh, but lately when we reach out there's nothing there
We seem so far apart, face to face 'cause your faith divide
But I'd do anything to get back on your loving side

To get back on your loving side
To get that tender feeling, feeling right
I'd give my heart to keep our love alive
And be a hero in your blue eyes

To get back on your loving side
Where your life's wrapped up in mine
Whoa, my heart won't be satisfied
Till I get back on your loving side

You know it's a shame
That a little rain put out a fire so strong
Now the chilling truth is the warmth is gone
Whoa, and there's a silence now
Silent words cut deep and wide
And I'll do anything to get back on your loving side

To get back on your loving side
To get that tender feeling, feeling right
I'd give my heart to keep our love alive
And be a hero in your blue eyes

To get back on your loving side
Where your life's wrapped up in mine
Whoa, my heart won't be satisfied
Till I get back on your loving side

Goodbye Time lyrics - Conway Twitty

It's your life
You say you need a change
Don't all the dreams we've seen come true
Mean anything

You say, "It's different now"
And you keep starin' at the door
How can you walk away?
Don't I matter anymore

If being free is worth what you leave behind
And if it's too late for love to change your mind
Then it's goodbye time

If we had known
Our love would come to this
We could have saved our hearts the hurt
Of wasted years

"Well it's been fun"
What else can I say
If the feeling's gone
Words won't stop you anyway

If being free is worth what you leave behind
And if it's too late for love to change your mind
Then it's goodbye time

If You Were Mine To Lose lyrics - Conway Twitty

If you were mine to lose, I'd gladly let you go
'Cause that would mean you once belonged to me
I'd gladly face the heartache of losing you some day
'Cause then at least I'd have a memory.

Through all the years I've known you, You've never noticed me
Just a friend that's all I've been to you
I'd gladly let you break my heart for just one memory
Just to know that you were mine to lose.

If I could only hold you just one time
For one short moment heaven would be mine
If you were mine to lose I'd gladly let you go
Just to know that you were mine to lose.

If you were mine to lose I'd gladly let you go
Just to know that you were mine to lose...

Throwing Good Love After Bad lyrics - Conway Twitty

By now, others would have quit
Thrown the towel in, and admit
It's over
And, maybe I will yet
Cause, your love couldn't get
Any colder.

Still, somehow, I can't stop believing
One day, we'll again have what we had
Though I should find someone new
I keep on loving you
Throwing good love after bad.

I watched you as you changed
As your love grew as strange
As your kisses
And, the more and more it hurt
I thought it couldn't get no worse
Ah, but it is.

Anybody else would stop and find another
Face the truth, and never once look back
And, I pray someday I will
But, as it is, I'm still
Throwing good love after bad.

I know somewhere, somebody out there's waitin' for me
With just as good a love as I have
And, someday, that love I'll find
And, I'll stop wasting mine
Throwing good love after bad.

And, someday that love I'll find
And, I'll stop wasting mine
Throwing good love after bad...
