You may find her in a tavern in the cheap part of town
With bright lights and music and a crowd gathered round
It may be too late now to tell her but I love her more today
But I didn't lose her, I threw her away.
She stood by me, looked for the good in me
When she knew I was wrong
I would love her just enough to keep her hanging on
She stayed much longer than she should
Then she walked out one day
But I didn't lose her, I threw her away.
She only wanted me to love her and to tell her so each day
Now, she's somewhere in a tavern wasting her life away
But don't be too fast to condemn her for what she might do or say
For I didn't lose her, I threw her away...
I'll Never Make It Home Tonight lyrics - Conway Twitty
Today, I started home with just a mile ago
And everythin' was goin' on right
And then I heard sock it to me on the radio
And I'll never make it home tonight.
Well I made it down on the old crossroad
Where the wrong road leads to the right
Then I thought of many in the mini skirts
And I'll never make it home tonight.
Yeah, the road to the right is wrong
The one to the left is right
I'm a lookin' for the right place to go wrong
And I'll never make it home tonight.
Yeah, the road to the right is wrong
The one to the left is right
I'm a lookin' for the right place to go wrong
And I'll never make it home tonight.
Down in the glad place for the sad I'm losin'
For I'm gonna get fight
I'm a lookin' for good place to go bad
And I'll never make it home tonight.
Well, I got kinda high and live a little low
Started home about daylight
When I got to the road where I should've get left
Again I turn to the right.
Yeah, the road to the right is wrong
The one to the left is right
I'm a lookin' for the right place to go wrong
And I'll never make it home tonight.
Yeah, the road to the right is wrong
The one to the left is right
I'm a lookin' for the right place to go wrong
And I'll never make it home tonight.
Yeah, it don't look like I'm gonna make it home tonight...
And everythin' was goin' on right
And then I heard sock it to me on the radio
And I'll never make it home tonight.
Well I made it down on the old crossroad
Where the wrong road leads to the right
Then I thought of many in the mini skirts
And I'll never make it home tonight.
Yeah, the road to the right is wrong
The one to the left is right
I'm a lookin' for the right place to go wrong
And I'll never make it home tonight.
Yeah, the road to the right is wrong
The one to the left is right
I'm a lookin' for the right place to go wrong
And I'll never make it home tonight.
Down in the glad place for the sad I'm losin'
For I'm gonna get fight
I'm a lookin' for good place to go bad
And I'll never make it home tonight.
Well, I got kinda high and live a little low
Started home about daylight
When I got to the road where I should've get left
Again I turn to the right.
Yeah, the road to the right is wrong
The one to the left is right
I'm a lookin' for the right place to go wrong
And I'll never make it home tonight.
Yeah, the road to the right is wrong
The one to the left is right
I'm a lookin' for the right place to go wrong
And I'll never make it home tonight.
Yeah, it don't look like I'm gonna make it home tonight...
This Road That I Walk lyrics - Conway Twitty
Well, this road that I walk is a mighty lonely road
It's low that I bear to mighty heavy load
And this song that I sing is a mighty lonely song
I had a true love but I done her wrong.
(He had a true love but he done her wrong.)
Well, this road that I walk it has no end
And on this road I walk I have no friends
The people that I pass are people just like me
Who do forever walk this road of misery.
(He had a true love but he done her wrong)
(Now he walks this road of misery alone.)
Well, this road that I walk is for fools like you
This road that I walk you're gonna walk it too
Each step that you take leads you up very smart
You had a true love but you broke her heart.
You had a true love but you done her wrong
Like me you must walk this road of misery alone
You had a true love but you done her wrong
Like me you must walk this road of misery alone...
It's low that I bear to mighty heavy load
And this song that I sing is a mighty lonely song
I had a true love but I done her wrong.
(He had a true love but he done her wrong.)
Well, this road that I walk it has no end
And on this road I walk I have no friends
The people that I pass are people just like me
Who do forever walk this road of misery.
(He had a true love but he done her wrong)
(Now he walks this road of misery alone.)
Well, this road that I walk is for fools like you
This road that I walk you're gonna walk it too
Each step that you take leads you up very smart
You had a true love but you broke her heart.
You had a true love but you done her wrong
Like me you must walk this road of misery alone
You had a true love but you done her wrong
Like me you must walk this road of misery alone...
She Knows What She's Crying About lyrics - Conway Twitty
You may think she's not been true
All those things she's telling you
But believe me, what she says is really true
'Cause I'm the one who left her there
I'm the one who didn't care
And she knows what she's crying about.
She knows what she's crying about.
She bears the flame though,
I'm to blame there's no doubt
I never even tried to say or accept the love she gave
And she knows what she's crying about.
She gave me her very best
I was wrong to give the rest
All the love that she so desperately tried to hold
I made her shed a million tears
All I did was waste her years
And she knows what she's crying about.
She knows what she's crying about.
She bears the flame though,
I'm to blame there's no doubt
I never even tried to say or accept the love she gave
And she knows what she's crying about...
All those things she's telling you
But believe me, what she says is really true
'Cause I'm the one who left her there
I'm the one who didn't care
And she knows what she's crying about.
She knows what she's crying about.
She bears the flame though,
I'm to blame there's no doubt
I never even tried to say or accept the love she gave
And she knows what she's crying about.
She gave me her very best
I was wrong to give the rest
All the love that she so desperately tried to hold
I made her shed a million tears
All I did was waste her years
And she knows what she's crying about.
She knows what she's crying about.
She bears the flame though,
I'm to blame there's no doubt
I never even tried to say or accept the love she gave
And she knows what she's crying about...
She's All I Got lyrics - Conway Twitty
Let me tell you now friend
Don't take her she's all I've got
Please don't take her love away from me
I'm beggin' you friend
Don't take her she's all I've got
She's everything in life I'm a-ever gonna need.

She's everything to me in life that's really real
She's my water when I need a drink
She's the first thought in my mind
Each time I try to think.

Please don't take her love away from me

She's my fingers when I want to feel
She's the only thing in life to me that's really real
She is love, she's all the love I know
She could kiss the ground in the wintertime
And make a flower grow.
Let me tell you now friend
Don't take her she's all I've got
Please don't take her love away from me

Don't take her she's all I've got...
One More Sunrise lyrics - Conway Twitty
There'll be just one more sunrise
In this cell for brother and me
He'll go home while I'll go
To the hanging tree.
Tell Betty I still love her
And kiss her once for me
And tell mama at sunrise
We'll both be free.
Sitting in my prison cell
The day is just beginning
My spirit's alike a grey
On every wall.
Beside is my brother
Tomorrow we'll both be leaving
He'll go home while they'll lead me
Down the hall.
He was always the blacksheep
There's one in every family
But he was always
Just little brother to me.
And that's why I took the blame
When he killed a man in Knoxville
But tomorrow at sunrise we'll both be free
There'll be just one more sunrise.
Oh, tell mama at sunrise
We'll both be free...
In this cell for brother and me
He'll go home while I'll go
To the hanging tree.
Tell Betty I still love her
And kiss her once for me
And tell mama at sunrise
We'll both be free.
Sitting in my prison cell
The day is just beginning
My spirit's alike a grey
On every wall.
Beside is my brother
Tomorrow we'll both be leaving
He'll go home while they'll lead me
Down the hall.
He was always the blacksheep
There's one in every family
But he was always
Just little brother to me.
And that's why I took the blame
When he killed a man in Knoxville
But tomorrow at sunrise we'll both be free
There'll be just one more sunrise.
Oh, tell mama at sunrise
We'll both be free...
It's A Cryin' Shame lyrics - Conway Twitty
Love walked out the door
It's a cryin' shame
We don't have it no more, no more.
Love walked out the door
It's a cryin' shame
We don't have it no more, no more.
Readin' your letter
I didn't no whether
To call you up and talk again
When I saw the name it signed
Goin' through my mind
Was a memory of way back when.
Now all that I can wish you
Is a good love baby
Sorry that it couldn't be me
'Cause it felt so right
If we held on tight
I'd be with you tonight.
We never should have left our,
Love walked out the door
It's a cryin' shame
We don't have it no more, no more.
Love walked out the door
It's a cryin' shame
We don't have it no more, no more.
I won't forget the summer
My heart was like a drummer
Just beatin' every night away
Walkin' in the sun with you baby
We were one and our new love
Was really ours to stay
Now all I get to keep is a faded picture
You belong to him today
And the memory
Of you and me
Is just a used to be.
We never should have left our,
Love walked out the door
It's a cryin' shame
We don't have it no more, no more.
Love walked out the door
It's a cryin' shame
We don't have, it shame we don't have it.
Love slips through my hands
It's a cryin' shame
I've been playing no game
Love fell at my feet.
It's a cryin' shame
And the bitter isn't the sweet
Oh, oh, I'm so sorry, baby.
Love walked out the door
It's a cryin' shame
We don't have it no more, no more.
Love walked out the door
It's a cryin' shame
We don't have no more, no more.
It's a cryin' shame
We don't have it no more, no more.
Love walked out the door
It's a cryin' shame
We don't have it no more, no more.
Readin' your letter
I didn't no whether
To call you up and talk again
When I saw the name it signed
Goin' through my mind
Was a memory of way back when.
Now all that I can wish you
Is a good love baby
Sorry that it couldn't be me
'Cause it felt so right
If we held on tight
I'd be with you tonight.
We never should have left our,
Love walked out the door
It's a cryin' shame
We don't have it no more, no more.
Love walked out the door
It's a cryin' shame
We don't have it no more, no more.
I won't forget the summer
My heart was like a drummer
Just beatin' every night away
Walkin' in the sun with you baby
We were one and our new love
Was really ours to stay
Now all I get to keep is a faded picture
You belong to him today
And the memory
Of you and me
Is just a used to be.
We never should have left our,
Love walked out the door
It's a cryin' shame
We don't have it no more, no more.
Love walked out the door
It's a cryin' shame
We don't have, it shame we don't have it.
Love slips through my hands
It's a cryin' shame
I've been playing no game
Love fell at my feet.
It's a cryin' shame
And the bitter isn't the sweet
Oh, oh, I'm so sorry, baby.
Love walked out the door
It's a cryin' shame
We don't have it no more, no more.
Love walked out the door
It's a cryin' shame
We don't have no more, no more.

Looking Back lyrics - Conway Twitty
Lookin' back over my life
I can see where, where I caused you strife
But I know, oh yes, I know,
I'd never make that same mistake again.
Lookin' back over my deeds
I can see signs that a wise man needs
Oh, if I had just one more chance
I'd know I'd never make that same mistake again.
Once my cup was overflowin'
But I, I gave nothin' in return
But I can't, I can't begin to tell you
What a lesson, what a lesson I have learned.
Lookin' back over the slate
I can see love as it turns to hate
But I know, oh yes, I know,
I know I'd never make that same mistake again...
I can see where, where I caused you strife
But I know, oh yes, I know,
I'd never make that same mistake again.
Lookin' back over my deeds
I can see signs that a wise man needs
Oh, if I had just one more chance
I'd know I'd never make that same mistake again.
Once my cup was overflowin'
But I, I gave nothin' in return
But I can't, I can't begin to tell you
What a lesson, what a lesson I have learned.
Lookin' back over the slate
I can see love as it turns to hate
But I know, oh yes, I know,
I know I'd never make that same mistake again...

Fever lyrics - Conway Twitty
Never know how much I love you
Never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me
I get a fever that's so hard to bear
You give me fever - when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever - in the morning
Fever all through the night
Sun lights up the daytime
Moon lights up the night
I light up when you call my name
Because you know I'm gonna treat you right
You give me fever - when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever - in the morning
Fever all through the night
Now listen to me baby
And hear every word I say
No one can love you like I do
Cause they don't know how to love you my way
You give me fever - when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever - in the morning
Fever all through the night
Well, now you've heard my story
Here's the point that I have made:
Chicks were born to give you fever
Be it fahrenheit or centigrade
They give you fever - yeah, when you kiss them
Fever when you live and learn
Fever - till you sizzle
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn...
Never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me
I get a fever that's so hard to bear
You give me fever - when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever - in the morning
Fever all through the night
Sun lights up the daytime
Moon lights up the night
I light up when you call my name
Because you know I'm gonna treat you right
You give me fever - when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever - in the morning
Fever all through the night
Now listen to me baby
And hear every word I say
No one can love you like I do
Cause they don't know how to love you my way
You give me fever - when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever - in the morning
Fever all through the night
Well, now you've heard my story
Here's the point that I have made:
Chicks were born to give you fever
Be it fahrenheit or centigrade
They give you fever - yeah, when you kiss them
Fever when you live and learn
Fever - till you sizzle
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn...
Hey Miss Ruby lyrics - Conway Twitty
I got a gal, Miss Ruby is her name
(Ruby, Ruby, hey, Miss Ruby)
She don't love me but I love her just the same
(Ruby, Ruby, hey, Miss Ruby)
Oh, little Miss Ruby, is her name
She's got the kind of lovin', set my heart aflame
I got a gal, Miss Ruby is her name

I Almost Lost My Mind lyrics - Conway Twitty
When I lost my baby
I almost lost my mind
When I lost my baby
I almost lost my mind
My heads been in a spin
Since she's left me behind.
I went to see the gypsy
To have my fortune read
I went to see the gypsy
To Have my fortune read
I hung my head in sorrow
When she said what she said.
Well, I can tell you, people
The news was not so good
I can tell you, people
The news was not so good
This time "Your baby's left you"
And But "This time she's gone for good".
She said, This time "Your baby's left you"
And But "This time she's gone for good."..
I almost lost my mind
When I lost my baby
I almost lost my mind
My heads been in a spin
Since she's left me behind.
I went to see the gypsy
To have my fortune read
I went to see the gypsy
To Have my fortune read
I hung my head in sorrow
When she said what she said.
Well, I can tell you, people
The news was not so good
I can tell you, people
The news was not so good
This time "Your baby's left you"
And But "This time she's gone for good".
She said, This time "Your baby's left you"
And But "This time she's gone for good."..

We've Closed Our Eyes To Shame lyrics - Conway Twitty
We both agree we shouldn't be so much in love this way
Although it's wrong we go along just lovin' more each day
We act so proud out in the crowd while another wears my name
We've opened up our hearts to love and closed our eyes to shame.
We've opened up a patience we can't fight
And closed our eyes to everything that's right
She won't agree to set me free still we get all the blame
We've opened up our hearts to love and closed our eyes to shame.
We've opened up a patience we can't fight
And closed our eyes to everything that's right
We're victims of forbidden love we play a losin' game
We've opened up our hearts to love and closed our eyes to shame...
Although it's wrong we go along just lovin' more each day
We act so proud out in the crowd while another wears my name
We've opened up our hearts to love and closed our eyes to shame.
We've opened up a patience we can't fight
And closed our eyes to everything that's right
She won't agree to set me free still we get all the blame
We've opened up our hearts to love and closed our eyes to shame.
We've opened up a patience we can't fight
And closed our eyes to everything that's right
We're victims of forbidden love we play a losin' game
We've opened up our hearts to love and closed our eyes to shame...
After The Fire Is Gone lyrics - Conway Twitty
Love is where you find it,
When you find no love at home
And there's nothing cold as ashes,
After the fire is gone.
The bottle is almost empty;
The clock just now struck ten
Darling, I had to call you
To our favorite place again.
We know it's wrong for us to meet
But the fires gone out at home
And there's nothing cold as ashes,
After the fire is gone.
Love is where you find it,
When you find no love at home
And there's nothing cold as ashes,
After the fire is gone.
Your lips are warm and tender;
Your arms hold me just right
Sweet words of love you remember
That the one at home forgot.
Each time we say it's the last time,
But we keep hanging on
And there's nothing cold as ashes,
After the fire is gone.
Love is where you find it,
When you find no love at home
And there's nothing cold as ashes,
After the fire is gone...
When you find no love at home
And there's nothing cold as ashes,
After the fire is gone.
The bottle is almost empty;
The clock just now struck ten
Darling, I had to call you
To our favorite place again.
We know it's wrong for us to meet
But the fires gone out at home
And there's nothing cold as ashes,
After the fire is gone.
Love is where you find it,
When you find no love at home
And there's nothing cold as ashes,
After the fire is gone.
Your lips are warm and tender;
Your arms hold me just right
Sweet words of love you remember
That the one at home forgot.
Each time we say it's the last time,
But we keep hanging on
And there's nothing cold as ashes,
After the fire is gone.
Love is where you find it,
When you find no love at home
And there's nothing cold as ashes,
After the fire is gone...
Don't Tell Me You're Sorry lyrics - Conway Twitty
I'm sorry honey, that you walked in
And caught her in my lap
But it's not what you're thinking
So think before you slap.
I suppose you're weighin'
That little blonde that walked here in this bar
Ah, don't tell me you're sorry
'Cause I know how sorry you are.
I'm sorry that you think I'm drunk
I ain't had a drink today
Would you believe I held her just to see
How much she'd weighed.
That cheatin' look that's on your face
Is lit up like a star
So don't tell me you're sorry
'Cause I know how sorry you are.
Don't tell me you're sorry
But I'm as sorry as I can be
Well, you'd better move fast
And don't give me no sass
'Cause you belong to me.
Now honey, we ain't done nothing wrong
But I'm sorry it's gone this far
But don't tell me you're sorry
'Cause I know how sorry you are.
Don't tell me you're sorry
But I'm as sorry as I can be
Well, you'd better move fast
And don't give me no sass
'Cause you belong to me.
Now, wait a minute Loretta
You know how sorry I am
Conway you better believe I know
How sorry you are...
And caught her in my lap
But it's not what you're thinking
So think before you slap.
I suppose you're weighin'
That little blonde that walked here in this bar
Ah, don't tell me you're sorry
'Cause I know how sorry you are.
I'm sorry that you think I'm drunk
I ain't had a drink today
Would you believe I held her just to see
How much she'd weighed.
That cheatin' look that's on your face
Is lit up like a star
So don't tell me you're sorry
'Cause I know how sorry you are.
Don't tell me you're sorry
But I'm as sorry as I can be
Well, you'd better move fast
And don't give me no sass
'Cause you belong to me.
Now honey, we ain't done nothing wrong
But I'm sorry it's gone this far
But don't tell me you're sorry
'Cause I know how sorry you are.
Don't tell me you're sorry
But I'm as sorry as I can be
Well, you'd better move fast
And don't give me no sass
'Cause you belong to me.
Now, wait a minute Loretta
You know how sorry I am
Conway you better believe I know
How sorry you are...
Pickin' Wild Mountain Berries lyrics - Conway Twitty
Where you been, where you been.
It's the same ole question again
What's the use baby, what's the use
They ain't never gonna turn us loose.
You got dirt all over your face
And your lipstick is way out of place
Oh, we gonna tell 'em
What we tell 'em every time before.
They won't leave us alone
They want us to come home
We been busy makin' merries
And pickin' wild mountain berries.
We're pickin' wild mountain berries
That's our excuse every time
We've been busy makin' merries
And pickin' wild mountain berries.
Conway, I don't know. Loretta, I don't know
If I can keep honey, from lettin' it show
What's our plan, tell me what's our plan
Now you know they won't understand.
If my hair is a drippin' wet
And my clothes are soakin' wet
And we didn't go skinny dippin'
In a cement pond.
You're my baby, you're my man,
And though your hair is sure gettin' to be a mess
And there ain't no berries in your bucket
Now we'll explain it honey, as best as we can.
They won't leave us alone
They want us to come home
We been a busy makin' merries
And pickin' wild mountain berries.
We're pickin' wild mountain berries
That's our excuse everytime
We been a busy makin' merries
And pickin' wild mountain berries...
It's the same ole question again
What's the use baby, what's the use
They ain't never gonna turn us loose.
You got dirt all over your face
And your lipstick is way out of place
Oh, we gonna tell 'em
What we tell 'em every time before.
They won't leave us alone
They want us to come home
We been busy makin' merries
And pickin' wild mountain berries.
We're pickin' wild mountain berries
That's our excuse every time
We've been busy makin' merries
And pickin' wild mountain berries.
Conway, I don't know. Loretta, I don't know
If I can keep honey, from lettin' it show
What's our plan, tell me what's our plan
Now you know they won't understand.
If my hair is a drippin' wet
And my clothes are soakin' wet
And we didn't go skinny dippin'
In a cement pond.
You're my baby, you're my man,
And though your hair is sure gettin' to be a mess
And there ain't no berries in your bucket
Now we'll explain it honey, as best as we can.
They won't leave us alone
They want us to come home
We been a busy makin' merries
And pickin' wild mountain berries.
We're pickin' wild mountain berries
That's our excuse everytime
We been a busy makin' merries
And pickin' wild mountain berries...
One I Can't Live Without lyrics - Conway Twitty
You say I shouldn't be here, it's the same thing every night
You say I should go home to her, what we're doing just ain't right
It's true she's there waitin' and wonderin' there's no doubt
But she's the one you live with and you're the one I can't live without.
She's the one you live with but you're the one I can't live without
And she's the one you dream with but you're the one I dream about
They say I'm breaking up your home it's not a home it's just a house
She's still the one you live with but you're the one I can't live without.
If I knew you only lived there and your love for me was true
But how can I be certain you're not makin' me a fool
Surely you must kissin' who keep proof from findin' out
But she's the one you live with but you're the one I can't live without.
She's the one you live with but you're the one I can't live without
And she's the one you dream with but you're the one I dream about
They say I'm breaking up your home it's not a home it's just a house
She's still the one you live with but you're the one I can't live without...
You say I should go home to her, what we're doing just ain't right
It's true she's there waitin' and wonderin' there's no doubt
But she's the one you live with and you're the one I can't live without.
She's the one you live with but you're the one I can't live without
And she's the one you dream with but you're the one I dream about
They say I'm breaking up your home it's not a home it's just a house
She's still the one you live with but you're the one I can't live without.
If I knew you only lived there and your love for me was true
But how can I be certain you're not makin' me a fool
Surely you must kissin' who keep proof from findin' out
But she's the one you live with but you're the one I can't live without.
She's the one you live with but you're the one I can't live without
And she's the one you dream with but you're the one I dream about
They say I'm breaking up your home it's not a home it's just a house
She's still the one you live with but you're the one I can't live without...
Hangin' On lyrics - Conway Twitty
You've got me where you want me
You keep stringing me along
Just enough to keep me a hangin' on.
It's true you have me twisted around your finger
It seems that's where I belong
You know how to hold me thrill me and control me
Just enough to keep me a hangin' on.
Oh, just enough to keep me a hangin' on
My heart is like a yo-yo on a string
I'm tied to you right or wrong
My love keeps a growing
'Cause your love keeps a showing
Just enough to keep me a hangin' on.
Oh, just enough to keep me a hangin' on.
A love that's strong as mine
Will make me do most anything
Like hiding tears and heartaches
And dreaming silly dreams.
You've got me where you want me
you keep stringing me along
Just enough to keep me a hangin' on.
Oh, just enough to keep me a hangin' on...
You keep stringing me along
Just enough to keep me a hangin' on.
It's true you have me twisted around your finger
It seems that's where I belong
You know how to hold me thrill me and control me
Just enough to keep me a hangin' on.
Oh, just enough to keep me a hangin' on
My heart is like a yo-yo on a string
I'm tied to you right or wrong
My love keeps a growing
'Cause your love keeps a showing
Just enough to keep me a hangin' on.
Oh, just enough to keep me a hangin' on.
A love that's strong as mine
Will make me do most anything
Like hiding tears and heartaches
And dreaming silly dreams.
You've got me where you want me
you keep stringing me along
Just enough to keep me a hangin' on.
Oh, just enough to keep me a hangin' on...
Lead Me On lyrics - Conway Twitty
Once I made a promise
That I'd never, lead you on
But I feel, a yearn to love you
Even though I know it's wrong.
You'll have, to take my hand
And lead me slowly through this door.
I'll be wrong, in what I'm doin'
I can't refuse you anymore.
Lead me on, and take control of how I feel
I can't do this on my own
'Cause it's against my will
I need love, warm and tender
In a way I've never known
If you want me I'll go with you,
But you'll have to lead me on
Lead me on, and take control of how I feel
I can't do this on my own
'Cause it's against my will
But I need love, warm and tender
In a way I've never known
If you want me I'll go with you,
But you'll have to lead me on...
That I'd never, lead you on
But I feel, a yearn to love you
Even though I know it's wrong.
You'll have, to take my hand
And lead me slowly through this door.
I'll be wrong, in what I'm doin'
I can't refuse you anymore.
Lead me on, and take control of how I feel
I can't do this on my own
'Cause it's against my will
I need love, warm and tender
In a way I've never known
If you want me I'll go with you,
But you'll have to lead me on
Lead me on, and take control of how I feel
I can't do this on my own
'Cause it's against my will
But I need love, warm and tender
In a way I've never known
If you want me I'll go with you,
But you'll have to lead me on...
When I Turn Off My Light lyrics - Conway Twitty
Let's forget unpleasent memories let them lie there in the past
Make believe here in my arms is where you belong
Yes I need you to love me each night when I'm alone
When I turn off my light your mem'ry turns on.
I return the love she gives me till you mem'ry gets so strong
I exist in a house where I don't feel at home
How can love feel so right and still feel so wrong
When I turn off my light your mem'ry turns on.
When I turn off my light your mem'ry turns on.
Then I turn and reach for you and again find you're gone
But you stay with her she loves you and she's never done you wrong
When I turn off my light your mem'ry turns on
Still when I turn off my light your mem'ry turns on...
Make believe here in my arms is where you belong
Yes I need you to love me each night when I'm alone
When I turn off my light your mem'ry turns on.
I return the love she gives me till you mem'ry gets so strong
I exist in a house where I don't feel at home
How can love feel so right and still feel so wrong
When I turn off my light your mem'ry turns on.
When I turn off my light your mem'ry turns on.
Then I turn and reach for you and again find you're gone
But you stay with her she loves you and she's never done you wrong
When I turn off my light your mem'ry turns on
Still when I turn off my light your mem'ry turns on...
Never Ending Song Of Love lyrics - Conway Twitty
I've got a never ending love for you
From now on that's all I wanna do
From the first time we met I knew
I'd have a never ending love for you.
After all this time of being alone
We can love one another
Feel for each other from now on
Feel so good I can hardly stand it.
Never ending love for you
From now on that's all I wanna do
From the first time we met I knew
I'd sing my never ending song of love for you.
After all this time of being alone
We can love one another
Feel for each other from now on
Feel so good I can hardly stand it.
Never ending love for you
From now on that's all I wanna do
From the first time we met I knew
I'd sing my never ending song of love for you.
I'd sing my never ending song of love for you...
From now on that's all I wanna do
From the first time we met I knew
I'd have a never ending love for you.
After all this time of being alone
We can love one another
Feel for each other from now on
Feel so good I can hardly stand it.
Never ending love for you
From now on that's all I wanna do
From the first time we met I knew
I'd sing my never ending song of love for you.
After all this time of being alone
We can love one another
Feel for each other from now on
Feel so good I can hardly stand it.
Never ending love for you
From now on that's all I wanna do
From the first time we met I knew
I'd sing my never ending song of love for you.
I'd sing my never ending song of love for you...
Playing House Away From Home lyrics - Conway Twitty
I left our hometown for the weekend
On a big business deal
And I would close behind you
My excuse is sharp and drill.
My only business is our pleasure
And I don't bother things I won't
'Cause we're playing house away from home
We're playing house away from home
Our names and faces are unknown
Everyone thinks that we're man and wife
We even wear our wedding rings
and we don't try to hide this thing
'Cause we're playing house away from home.
We'll get up in the morning
I'll go my way and I'll go mine
And go home to act like strangers
And hope no one can tell
That we have left all the bills from actin' right and doin' wrong
'Cause we're playing house away from home
We're playing house away from home
We're playing house away from home
Our names and faces are unknown
Everyone thinks that we're man and wife
We even wear our wedding rings
and we don't try to hide this thing
'Cause we're playing house away from home.
Yes, we're playing house away from home...
On a big business deal
And I would close behind you
My excuse is sharp and drill.
My only business is our pleasure
And I don't bother things I won't
'Cause we're playing house away from home
We're playing house away from home
Our names and faces are unknown
Everyone thinks that we're man and wife
We even wear our wedding rings
and we don't try to hide this thing
'Cause we're playing house away from home.
We'll get up in the morning
I'll go my way and I'll go mine
And go home to act like strangers
And hope no one can tell
That we have left all the bills from actin' right and doin' wrong
'Cause we're playing house away from home
We're playing house away from home
We're playing house away from home
Our names and faces are unknown
Everyone thinks that we're man and wife
We even wear our wedding rings
and we don't try to hide this thing
'Cause we're playing house away from home.
Yes, we're playing house away from home...
You're The Reason Our Kids Are Ugly lyrics - Conway Twitty
Well you're the reason I'm ridin around on big-capped tires
And you're the reason I'm hangin our clothes outside on wires
And you're the reason our kids are ugly, little darlin'
Oh but looks ain't everything
And money ain't everything
But I love you just the same
Well you're the reason I changed to beer from soda pop
And you're the reason I never get to go to the beauty shop
I guess that we won't ever have, everything we need
Cuz when we get ahead, it's got a double mouth to feed
And that's the reason my good looks, and my figure is gone
And that's the reason that I ain't got no hair to comb
Conway, why in the devil don't you go and shave,
or put on clean pair of pants?
But Loretta, look at yourself. I wish you'd take
them curlers outta your hair and go put on a little
make-up and get outta that housecoat before supper.
Well let me tell you somethin' Conway. Considering everything that
I went through today, I look like a movie star.
Yeah, Ruth Buzzley.
Thank you.
Besides that, all of our kids took after your part of the family anyways.
Oh they did, hunh? What about the ones that's bald?
Well I guess you could say they took after me.
And you're the reason I'm hangin our clothes outside on wires
And you're the reason our kids are ugly, little darlin'
Oh but looks ain't everything
And money ain't everything
But I love you just the same
Well you're the reason I changed to beer from soda pop
And you're the reason I never get to go to the beauty shop
I guess that we won't ever have, everything we need
Cuz when we get ahead, it's got a double mouth to feed
And that's the reason my good looks, and my figure is gone
And that's the reason that I ain't got no hair to comb
Conway, why in the devil don't you go and shave,
or put on clean pair of pants?

How Far Can We Go lyrics - Conway Twitty
Oh, how far can we go,
You and me doin' this?
We're doin' the things that only sinners do
But I can't keep my mind off of you
We made a mistake one night and didn't quit
So how far can we go, you and me doin' this?
We're strangers by day and lovers by night
And I feel like a thief when I hold you tight
The ring on my finger shows that I'm still his
So how far can we go, you and me doin' this?
Lovin' like there's no tomorrow or past
We're takin' the backroad, go and go out fast
The ring on my finger shows that I'm still his
So how far can we go, you and me doin' this?
So how far can we go, you and me me
And you everyday all the time doin' this?..
You and me doin' this?
We're doin' the things that only sinners do
But I can't keep my mind off of you
We made a mistake one night and didn't quit
So how far can we go, you and me doin' this?
We're strangers by day and lovers by night
And I feel like a thief when I hold you tight
The ring on my finger shows that I'm still his
So how far can we go, you and me doin' this?
Lovin' like there's no tomorrow or past
We're takin' the backroad, go and go out fast
The ring on my finger shows that I'm still his
So how far can we go, you and me doin' this?
So how far can we go, you and me me
And you everyday all the time doin' this?..
You Blow My Mind lyrics - Conway Twitty
Well, I used think the color of love would be a rosy red or a pretty pink
And I thought it would be a thirsty man crawlin' home to get a big old drink
And I thought love was spelled like a bell B-E-double L bell that you ring
Stead of wham bam hit your man with a pan
Hit him on the head hear the birdies sing.
Oh, you heart breakin' love makin' cut me-a-piece-of-bacon man of mine
And you money shiftin' flour siftin' nose liftin' rose of woman kind
Just keep on doin' what you're doin' and what you're doin' suits me just fine
And love I tell you somethin' else you blow my mind.
Well, I used to think the color of love would be a soft green like a pea in a pod
And I thought love would strike like a light flashin' down a big old lightnin' rod
And I thought love was spelled W-E-double L well that would never run dry
Instead of choke choke I'm so broke and dry I can't afford a little bitty tear to cry.
Oh, you money turnin' egg churnin' butter burnin' baby of mine
You half crazy lean and lazy pretty as a wilted daisy man of mine
Just keep on doin' what you're doin' and what you're doin' suits me just fine
And love I tell you somethin' else you blow my mind.
You blow my mind, you blow my mind,
You blow my mind, you blow my mind...
And I thought it would be a thirsty man crawlin' home to get a big old drink
And I thought love was spelled like a bell B-E-double L bell that you ring
Stead of wham bam hit your man with a pan
Hit him on the head hear the birdies sing.
Oh, you heart breakin' love makin' cut me-a-piece-of-bacon man of mine
And you money shiftin' flour siftin' nose liftin' rose of woman kind
Just keep on doin' what you're doin' and what you're doin' suits me just fine
And love I tell you somethin' else you blow my mind.
Well, I used to think the color of love would be a soft green like a pea in a pod
And I thought love would strike like a light flashin' down a big old lightnin' rod
And I thought love was spelled W-E-double L well that would never run dry
Instead of choke choke I'm so broke and dry I can't afford a little bitty tear to cry.
Oh, you money turnin' egg churnin' butter burnin' baby of mine
You half crazy lean and lazy pretty as a wilted daisy man of mine
Just keep on doin' what you're doin' and what you're doin' suits me just fine
And love I tell you somethin' else you blow my mind.
You blow my mind, you blow my mind,
You blow my mind, you blow my mind...
Easy Lovin' lyrics - Conway Twitty
Easy lovin', so sexy lookin',
I know from the feelin',
It comes from the heart.
Easy lovin', everyday's things givin',
To count on my blessin's,
I wouldn't know where to start.
Every time I look you over
So real to life it seems
Mhm, Upon your pretty shoulders
There's a pair of angel wings.
Easy lovin', seein's believin',
Life with you is like livin',
In a beautiful dream.
Every time I look you over
So real to life it seems
Upon your pretty shoulders
There's a pair of angel wings.
Easy lovin', seein's believin',
Life with you is like livin',
In a beautiful dream.
Easy lovin'...
I know from the feelin',
It comes from the heart.
Easy lovin', everyday's things givin',
To count on my blessin's,

Every time I look you over

Mhm, Upon your pretty shoulders
There's a pair of angel wings.
Easy lovin', seein's believin',
Life with you is like livin',
In a beautiful dream.

So real to life it seems
Upon your pretty shoulders
There's a pair of angel wings.
Easy lovin', seein's believin',
Life with you is like livin',

Back Street Affair lyrics - Conway Twitty
You didn't know I wasn't free
When you fell in love with me
And with all your young heart, you learned to care
It brought you shame and disgrace
The world has tumbled in your face
Because they call our love a back street affair.
They say you wrecked my home
I'm a husband that's gone wrong
They don't know the sorrow that we've had to bear
For the one that I'm tied to
Was the first to be untrue
And yet they call our love a back street affair.
We have each other now
That's all that matters anyhow
For the judgement of gossip's never fair
We'll just be brave and strong
Then some day they'll see they're wrong
So let 'em call our love a back street affair.
We'll be free to love someday
When all the talk has died away
And the happiness we hoped for then we'll share
I'll climb a mountain high
And then the world can hear me cry
That our love's not a back street affair...
When you fell in love with me
And with all your young heart, you learned to care
It brought you shame and disgrace
The world has tumbled in your face
Because they call our love a back street affair.
They say you wrecked my home
I'm a husband that's gone wrong
They don't know the sorrow that we've had to bear
For the one that I'm tied to
Was the first to be untrue
And yet they call our love a back street affair.
We have each other now
That's all that matters anyhow
For the judgement of gossip's never fair
We'll just be brave and strong
Then some day they'll see they're wrong
So let 'em call our love a back street affair.
We'll be free to love someday
When all the talk has died away
And the happiness we hoped for then we'll share
I'll climb a mountain high
And then the world can hear me cry
That our love's not a back street affair...
I Wonder If You Told Her About Me lyrics - Conway Twitty
And I wonder if you told her,
And I wonder if you told her about me?
Oh hello, fancy meetin' you
The girl you have with you sure looks sweet
But does she know you're talking to you're old used to be
And I wonder if you told her
Yes, I wonder if you told her about me?
It sure is good to see you, it's been a long long time
Don't think it's foolish of me if I weep
I just can't hide the power of, so many memories
And I wonder if you told her
Yes, I wonder if you told her about me?
Now I can see she loves you and you can see it too
She's got you on her mind constantly
But does she know the reason why I set her free
And I wonder if you told her
Yes, I wonder if you told her about me?
The party's almost over but let me say before I'd go
I'm glad at last you found your destiny
I told her that you love her and held her tenderly
And I wonder if you told her
Yes, I wonder if you told her about me?..
And I wonder if you told her about me?
Oh hello, fancy meetin' you
The girl you have with you sure looks sweet
But does she know you're talking to you're old used to be
And I wonder if you told her
Yes, I wonder if you told her about me?
It sure is good to see you, it's been a long long time
Don't think it's foolish of me if I weep
I just can't hide the power of, so many memories
And I wonder if you told her
Yes, I wonder if you told her about me?
Now I can see she loves you and you can see it too
She's got you on her mind constantly
But does she know the reason why I set her free
And I wonder if you told her
Yes, I wonder if you told her about me?
The party's almost over but let me say before I'd go
I'm glad at last you found your destiny
I told her that you love her and held her tenderly
And I wonder if you told her
Yes, I wonder if you told her about me?..
Get Some Loving Done lyrics - Conway Twitty
I gotta get up and get some loving done
My life's so poor, ain't been much fun
I found myself a woman and I know she's the one
And I gotta get up and get me some loving done.
I've been doin' without a good thing much too long
But you taught me to sing a brand new song
When I look at me I see a brand new different me
Let's gonna get up and get some loving done.
Yeah, I've gotta get up...
Well, you know how to treat me like a woman
And satisfy my needs, 'cause you're all man
When I look at you I see it all belongs to me
So, I'm gonna get up and get some loving done.
Get up and get some loving done
Our life's a gonna be a life more fun

And he sure do turn me on.
We're gonna get up and get some loving done
Get up and get some loving done...
My life's so poor, ain't been much fun
I found myself a woman and I know she's the one
And I gotta get up and get me some loving done.
I've been doin' without a good thing much too long
But you taught me to sing a brand new song
When I look at me I see a brand new different me
Let's gonna get up and get some loving done.
Yeah, I've gotta get up...
Well, you know how to treat me like a woman
And satisfy my needs, 'cause you're all man
When I look at you I see it all belongs to me
So, I'm gonna get up and get some loving done.
Get up and get some loving done
Our life's a gonna be a life more fun
Yeah, I found myself a good man
And he sure do turn me on.

I Wonder What She'll Think About Me Leaving lyrics - Conway Twitty
I wonder what she'll think about me leaving
I wonder if she'll even know I'm gone.
I wonder what she'll think about my leaving
Wish I could be there hidden if she cries
'Cause leaving really won't be worth my trouble
If I can't see the teardrops fill her eyes.
Wish I could be there standing by her window
When she finds the note about me being gone
I'm almost sure her coldness never changes
But still I'd like to know it if I'm wrong.
I wonder what she'll think about me leaving
I'd like to see her standing all alone
If she hurts at all I'd like to know it happened
I wonder if she'll even know I'm gone.
I wonder if she'll notice that I'm gone...
I wonder if she'll even know I'm gone.
I wonder what she'll think about my leaving
Wish I could be there hidden if she cries
'Cause leaving really won't be worth my trouble
If I can't see the teardrops fill her eyes.
Wish I could be there standing by her window
When she finds the note about me being gone
I'm almost sure her coldness never changes
But still I'd like to know it if I'm wrong.
I wonder what she'll think about me leaving
I'd like to see her standing all alone
If she hurts at all I'd like to know it happened
I wonder if she'll even know I'm gone.
I wonder if she'll notice that I'm gone...
Wine Me Up lyrics - Conway Twitty
I'm the center of attention in this barroom
'Cause I've got the biggest heartache of the year
And each night those swinging doors
Reach out for me and draw me in
'Cause they know each night that
I'll come back to wine me up again.
Wine me up turn me on and watch me cry for you
Lately drinking warm red wine is all I wanna do
And I never know how tight, I'll wine me up 'til I walk in
But I don't care 'cause I'll be back to wine me up again.
I'd like to thank to men who raised the grapes in California
And I'm hoping this will be their biggest year
'Cause scarlet water's all that's left to keep me hanging on
And that's why I'll try to wine me up each day and night next year.
Wine me up turn me on and watch me cry for you
Lately drinking warm red wine is all I wanna do
And I never know how tight I'll wine me up 'til I walk in
But I don't care 'cause I'll be back to wine me up again...
'Cause I've got the biggest heartache of the year
And each night those swinging doors
Reach out for me and draw me in
'Cause they know each night that
I'll come back to wine me up again.
Wine me up turn me on and watch me cry for you
Lately drinking warm red wine is all I wanna do
And I never know how tight, I'll wine me up 'til I walk in
But I don't care 'cause I'll be back to wine me up again.
I'd like to thank to men who raised the grapes in California
And I'm hoping this will be their biggest year
'Cause scarlet water's all that's left to keep me hanging on
And that's why I'll try to wine me up each day and night next year.
Wine me up turn me on and watch me cry for you
Lately drinking warm red wine is all I wanna do
And I never know how tight I'll wine me up 'til I walk in
But I don't care 'cause I'll be back to wine me up again...
I'd Rather Love You lyrics - Conway Twitty
If tonight should be our last night together
I'm not sorry that we fell in love at all
And if tomorrow sun should find me hurtin' for you I know
That the price for loving you would still be small.
For I'd never know the thrill of your sweet lips
And the chills I get just knowing that you're mine
'Cause I'd spend my life just knowing what real love is
Oh no, Though I'd be hurtin' I'm still certain
That I'd rather love and lose you
Than never know your love at all.
For I'd never know the thrill of your sweet lips
And the chills I get just knowing that you're mine
'Cause I'd spend my life just knowing what real love is
Oh no, Though I'd be hurtin' I'm still certain
That I'd rather love and lose you
Than never know your love at all...
I'm not sorry that we fell in love at all
And if tomorrow sun should find me hurtin' for you I know
That the price for loving you would still be small.
For I'd never know the thrill of your sweet lips
And the chills I get just knowing that you're mine
'Cause I'd spend my life just knowing what real love is
Oh no, Though I'd be hurtin' I'm still certain
That I'd rather love and lose you
Than never know your love at all.
For I'd never know the thrill of your sweet lips
And the chills I get just knowing that you're mine
'Cause I'd spend my life just knowing what real love is
Oh no, Though I'd be hurtin' I'm still certain
That I'd rather love and lose you
Than never know your love at all...
My Heart Won't Listen To My Mind lyrics - Conway Twitty
I woke up this morning
To a world that's all wrong
And suddenly remembered
You're gone.
I tried hard to forget you
But there's no way I find
My heart won't listen
To my mind.
I cried a river of teardrops
Got a heart full of ache
I never learned to give all
I knew would fake.
So I took the love you gave me
Then left you behind
My heart won't listen
To my mind.
So I'll hold to your mem'ry
That's all I can do
And relieve each moment
Spent with you,
And in my darkest hour
There's no measure of time
My heart won't listen
To my mind.
I cried a river of teardrops
Got a heart full of ache
I never learned to give all
I knew would fake.
So I took the love you gave me
Then left you behind
My heart won't listen
To my mind...
To a world that's all wrong
And suddenly remembered
You're gone.
I tried hard to forget you
But there's no way I find
My heart won't listen
To my mind.
I cried a river of teardrops
Got a heart full of ache
I never learned to give all
I knew would fake.
So I took the love you gave me
Then left you behind
My heart won't listen
To my mind.
So I'll hold to your mem'ry
That's all I can do
And relieve each moment
Spent with you,
And in my darkest hour
There's no measure of time
My heart won't listen
To my mind.
I cried a river of teardrops
Got a heart full of ache
I never learned to give all
I knew would fake.
So I took the love you gave me
Then left you behind
My heart won't listen
To my mind...
I Fall To Pieces lyrics - Conway Twitty
I fall to pieces each time I see you again
I fall to pieces how can I be just your friend
You want me to act like we've never kissed
You want me to forget pretend we've never met
But I've tried, I've tried I haven't yet
You walk by and I fall to pieces.
You tell me to find someone else to love
Someone who'll love me too the way you used to do
But I've tried, I've tried but I haven't yet
You walk by and I fall to pieces...
I fall to pieces how can I be just your friend
You want me to act like we've never kissed
You want me to forget pretend we've never met
But I've tried, I've tried I haven't yet
You walk by and I fall to pieces.
You tell me to find someone else to love
Someone who'll love me too the way you used to do
But I've tried, I've tried but I haven't yet
You walk by and I fall to pieces...
Heartaches Just Walked In lyrics - Conway Twitty
Sittiin' in a dim cafe listenin' while the jukebox play
The songs I like to hear when I'm alone
Thinkin' of my wasted past wonderin' if someday at last
I win the sweetest love I've ever known.
Then all at once I saw her arm in arm with my best friend
Heartbreak can't be far away
'Cause heartaches just walked in
I watched her as she smiled at him
And though the tiny lights were dim
I could see the love light shining in her eyes
With aching heart and trembling hand
I stood and watched another man
Hold the girl I wanted for my wife.
And as the teardrops started
I thought of things that might have been
Heartbreak can't be far away
'Cause heartaches just walked in
And then my poor heart skipped a beat
She took the table next to me
She didn't even notice I was there
She looked around and just by chance
Our eyes met in a casual glance
She smiled and it was more than I could bare
How could she know the way I feel
to her I'm just a friend
Heartbreak can't be far away
'Cause heartaches just walked in...
The songs I like to hear when I'm alone
Thinkin' of my wasted past wonderin' if someday at last
I win the sweetest love I've ever known.
Then all at once I saw her arm in arm with my best friend
Heartbreak can't be far away
'Cause heartaches just walked in
I watched her as she smiled at him
And though the tiny lights were dim
I could see the love light shining in her eyes
With aching heart and trembling hand
I stood and watched another man
Hold the girl I wanted for my wife.
And as the teardrops started
I thought of things that might have been
Heartbreak can't be far away
'Cause heartaches just walked in
And then my poor heart skipped a beat
She took the table next to me
She didn't even notice I was there
She looked around and just by chance
Our eyes met in a casual glance
She smiled and it was more than I could bare
How could she know the way I feel
to her I'm just a friend
Heartbreak can't be far away
'Cause heartaches just walked in...
Joy To The World lyrics - Conway Twitty
Jerry Miles was a bullfrog
He was a good friend of mine
I never understood a single word he said
But I helped him drink his wine.
Everybody now joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the big blue sea
I said joy to you and me.
If I was a king of the world
I tell you what I'd do
I'd throw away the cars and the bars
and the wars and make sweet love to you.
Let me hear now joy to the world...
You know I love a lady
I love to have my fun
I'm a high night flyer and a rainbow rider
And a straight shootin' son of a gun.
Everybody now joy to the world...
And we go now joy to the world...
A little higher joy to the world...
One more time now joy to the world...
People's goin' now joy to the world...
He was a good friend of mine
I never understood a single word he said
But I helped him drink his wine.
Everybody now joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the big blue sea
I said joy to you and me.
If I was a king of the world
I tell you what I'd do
I'd throw away the cars and the bars
and the wars and make sweet love to you.
Let me hear now joy to the world...
You know I love a lady
I love to have my fun
I'm a high night flyer and a rainbow rider
And a straight shootin' son of a gun.
Everybody now joy to the world...
And we go now joy to the world...
A little higher joy to the world...
One more time now joy to the world...
People's goin' now joy to the world...
Who'll Turn Out The Lights lyrics - Conway Twitty
I wonder who'll turn out the lights in your world tonight
Whose shoulder will your head be restin' on
Does your hungry arms reach for someone you feel you need
Will the need still be there when he's gone.
As I reach for the switch that turns out my lights
I wonder who'll turn out the lights in your world tonight
Has someone found a secret that I couldn't find
Is he touching that old switch that I've touched so many times.
Is he turning on the woman
I could never satisfy
I wonder who'll turn out the lights
in your world tonight?
Has someone found a secret that I couldn't find
Is he touching that old switch that I've touched so many times.
Is he turning on the woman
I could never satisfy
I wonder who'll turn out the lights
in your world tonight?...
Whose shoulder will your head be restin' on
Does your hungry arms reach for someone you feel you need
Will the need still be there when he's gone.
As I reach for the switch that turns out my lights
I wonder who'll turn out the lights in your world tonight
Has someone found a secret that I couldn't find
Is he touching that old switch that I've touched so many times.
Is he turning on the woman
I could never satisfy
I wonder who'll turn out the lights
in your world tonight?
Has someone found a secret that I couldn't find
Is he touching that old switch that I've touched so many times.
Is he turning on the woman
I could never satisfy
I wonder who'll turn out the lights
in your world tonight?...
Letter And A Ring lyrics - Conway Twitty
I came home this morning,
I looked around
I called out to my darling
But not a sound.
And there upon the table
By an old love magazine
Was a letter from my baby
And a golden wedding ring.
The table told a story,
I can't forget
A half a cup of coffee
And a half smoked cigarette.
I could see she'd waited,
Hoping I'd come home
But some coffee and the cigarette
Told me that she was gone.
I opened up the letter
And read the tear-stained lines
My world for me was ending
Right before my eyes.
She said, "I set you free now
Go long and have your fling."
And all my baby left me
Was a letter and a ring.
(Was a letter and a ring)...
I looked around
I called out to my darling
But not a sound.
And there upon the table
By an old love magazine
Was a letter from my baby
And a golden wedding ring.
The table told a story,
I can't forget
A half a cup of coffee
And a half smoked cigarette.
I could see she'd waited,
Hoping I'd come home
But some coffee and the cigarette
Told me that she was gone.
I opened up the letter
And read the tear-stained lines
My world for me was ending
Right before my eyes.
She said, "I set you free now
Go long and have your fling."
And all my baby left me
Was a letter and a ring.
(Was a letter and a ring)...
One More Time lyrics - Conway Twitty
Mistakes, I have made them
And you don't know how much I hate them
But that's me and I don't guess I'll ever change
And I don't mean to hurt you
Heaven knows I hate to hurt you.
But here I am to ask forgiveness one more time
(One more time) One more time I'll ask you to forgive me
(One more time) I'll come crawling back to you
All I ask is a chance to show just how much I love you.
Won't you please take me back one more time
(One more time) and one more time I'll tell you that I'm sorry
(But this time) I'll get down on bended knee
And I'll cry and beg forgiveness
Please give me your forgiveness.
Won't you please take me back one more time...
(one more time)
And you don't know how much I hate them
But that's me and I don't guess I'll ever change
And I don't mean to hurt you
Heaven knows I hate to hurt you.
But here I am to ask forgiveness one more time
(One more time) One more time I'll ask you to forgive me
(One more time) I'll come crawling back to you
All I ask is a chance to show just how much I love you.
Won't you please take me back one more time
(One more time) and one more time I'll tell you that I'm sorry
(But this time) I'll get down on bended knee
And I'll cry and beg forgiveness
Please give me your forgiveness.
Won't you please take me back one more time...
(one more time)
My Love For You Is Stronger lyrics - Conway Twitty
Darling, my love for you is stronger than the weakness in me.
It's hard to understand the weakness in a man
To a woman who's love is true it's hard to see
Why sometimes man will stray well darling I must say
My love for you is strong than the weakness in me.
When a man's all alone his weakness then is strong
And that's just how my life used to be
Now I don't hear temptations call it's just not worth it all
My love for you is strong than the weakness in me.
Darling, my love for you is strong than the weakness in me
That's how it's been and how it's gonna be
Just as long as I have your sweet love to lean on you see
My love for you is strong than the weakness in me
Darling, my love for you is strong than the weakness in me...
It's hard to understand the weakness in a man
To a woman who's love is true it's hard to see
Why sometimes man will stray well darling I must say
My love for you is strong than the weakness in me.
When a man's all alone his weakness then is strong
And that's just how my life used to be
Now I don't hear temptations call it's just not worth it all
My love for you is strong than the weakness in me.
Darling, my love for you is strong than the weakness in me
That's how it's been and how it's gonna be
Just as long as I have your sweet love to lean on you see
My love for you is strong than the weakness in me
Darling, my love for you is strong than the weakness in me...

How Much More Can She Stand lyrics - Conway Twitty
There's a devil in my body
That I just can't satisfy
Other women haunt me
Even though I love my wife.
It's because I really love her,
I try to save her heart with lies
But I know she knows
I can see it in her eyes.
I try to stay at home, love only her,
Play with the kids and watch T.V.
But then my mind becomes unsure
About the kind of love I need.
My reasons for cheating
There as good as lies can be
How much more can she stand
And still stand by me?
It's so hard for me to call her
I can hardly dial the phone
I did wrong again last night,
Now I just want to go back home.
She knows that I lied,
Lord, she'll cry where I can't see
How much more can she stand
And still stand by me?
How much more can she stand
And still stand my me?..
That I just can't satisfy
Other women haunt me
Even though I love my wife.
It's because I really love her,
I try to save her heart with lies
But I know she knows
I can see it in her eyes.
I try to stay at home, love only her,
Play with the kids and watch T.V.
But then my mind becomes unsure
About the kind of love I need.
My reasons for cheating
There as good as lies can be
How much more can she stand
And still stand by me?
It's so hard for me to call her
I can hardly dial the phone
I did wrong again last night,
Now I just want to go back home.
She knows that I lied,
Lord, she'll cry where I can't see
How much more can she stand
And still stand by me?
How much more can she stand
And still stand my me?..
Every Day Family Man lyrics - Conway Twitty
You've heard songs about the bright lights of the city
And songs about the heroes of our land
But there's one guy around who never lets us down
The every day family man.
He works hard to pay the mortgage and the taxes
And there's lots of things that he don't understands
While we spend millions on the moon
When the world may blow out soon
The every day family man.
You won't read it in the headlines of the papers
The things he does with his two calloused hands
But every night when he comes home
He's a king of his own
The every day family man.
He won't be there when awards and all are given
But he's close by when his neighbor needs a hand
When he tells his kids goodnight
The whole world for him is right
The every day family man.
Yeah, You won't read it in the headlines of the papers
The things he does with his two calloused hands
But every night when he comes home
He's a king of his own
The every day family man.
The every day family man...
And songs about the heroes of our land
But there's one guy around who never lets us down
The every day family man.
He works hard to pay the mortgage and the taxes
And there's lots of things that he don't understands
While we spend millions on the moon
When the world may blow out soon
The every day family man.
You won't read it in the headlines of the papers
The things he does with his two calloused hands
But every night when he comes home
He's a king of his own
The every day family man.
He won't be there when awards and all are given
But he's close by when his neighbor needs a hand
When he tells his kids goodnight
The whole world for him is right
The every day family man.
Yeah, You won't read it in the headlines of the papers
The things he does with his two calloused hands
But every night when he comes home
He's a king of his own
The every day family man.
The every day family man...
Help Me Make It Through The Night lyrics - Conway Twitty
Take the ribbons from your hair
Shake it loose and let it fall
Laying soft upon your skin
Like the flowers on the wall.
Come and lay here by my side
Till the early morning light
All I'm taking is your time
Help me make it through the night.
I don't care who's right or wrong
And I don't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
'Cause Lord, tonight I need a friend.
Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight
And it's sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night.
I don't care who's right or wrong
I don't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
Lord, you know tonight I need a friend.
Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight
And it's sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night.
You know it's sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night...
Shake it loose and let it fall
Laying soft upon your skin
Like the flowers on the wall.
Come and lay here by my side
Till the early morning light
All I'm taking is your time
Help me make it through the night.
I don't care who's right or wrong
And I don't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
'Cause Lord, tonight I need a friend.
Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight
And it's sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night.
I don't care who's right or wrong
I don't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
Lord, you know tonight I need a friend.
Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight
And it's sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night.
You know it's sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night...
Just Like A Stranger lyrics - Conway Twitty
I passed you on a street in town, today
And my heart ached in an old familiar way
I thought of things I'd like to say, should I catch your eye
And just like a stranger, you walked right on by.
I stood there on the corner, of the street
The same old corner, where we once used to meet
I know you saw the teardrops, falling from my eyes
But just like a stranger, you walked right on by.
I've walked with you down this old street, before
But I'll never walk it with you, anymore
I smiled and said hello to you, but you made no reply
Instead like a stranger, you walked right on by.
Just like a stranger, you walked right on by...
And my heart ached in an old familiar way
I thought of things I'd like to say, should I catch your eye
And just like a stranger, you walked right on by.
I stood there on the corner, of the street
The same old corner, where we once used to meet
I know you saw the teardrops, falling from my eyes
But just like a stranger, you walked right on by.
I've walked with you down this old street, before
But I'll never walk it with you, anymore
I smiled and said hello to you, but you made no reply
Instead like a stranger, you walked right on by.
Just like a stranger, you walked right on by...
Last One To Touch Me lyrics - Conway Twitty
(Touch me I want you to be the first the last the only one to touch me)
If there ever was an angel then surely you must be one
If there ever was a perfect love when I look at you I see one
If there's heaven here on earth then this must surely be
I want you to be the last one to touch me.
The last thing I remember before I go to sleep
Is the touch of your sweet lips softly kissing me
And I go to sleep a thinking how happy you make me
I want you to be the last one to touch me.
And when it's time to lay me down for my eternal sleep
Once more let your fingers softly touch my cheek
And if I know that you've touched me then I can sleep in peace
I want you to be the last one to touch me.
And when the night has ended and time will be no more
They say that we shall meet again upon the golden shore
And so when I awaken from my eternal sleep
I want you to be the last one to touch me.
I want you to be
The first the last the only one to touch me touch me...
If there ever was an angel then surely you must be one
If there ever was a perfect love when I look at you I see one
If there's heaven here on earth then this must surely be
I want you to be the last one to touch me.
The last thing I remember before I go to sleep
Is the touch of your sweet lips softly kissing me
And I go to sleep a thinking how happy you make me
I want you to be the last one to touch me.
And when it's time to lay me down for my eternal sleep
Once more let your fingers softly touch my cheek
And if I know that you've touched me then I can sleep in peace
I want you to be the last one to touch me.
And when the night has ended and time will be no more
They say that we shall meet again upon the golden shore
And so when I awaken from my eternal sleep
I want you to be the last one to touch me.
I want you to be
The first the last the only one to touch me touch me...
Amos Moses lyrics - Conway Twitty
Now Amos Moses was a Cajun
He lived by himself in the swamp
He haunted alligators for a livin'
He just knock 'em in the head with a stump.
The Louisiana law's gonna get ya Amos
It ain't legal huntin' alligators down in the swamp boy
Now everybody blames his old man
For makin' him mean as a snake.
When Amos Moses was a boy
His daddy would use him for alligator bait
Tie a rope around his waist throw him in the swamp
Alligator bait in the Louisiana bayou.
About forty five minutes southeast of Tippidoe Louisiana
Live a man called Doc Millsap and his pretty wife Hannah
Well, they raised up a son
That could eat up his weight in groc'ries
Named him after the man of the cloth
Called him Amos Moses.
Now folks around south Louisiana
Said Amos was a hell of a man
He could trap the biggest the meanest alligator
And just use only one hand.
That's all he got left 'cause the alligator bit him
Left arm gone clean up to the elbow.
Well, the sheriff got wind
That Amos was in the swamp trappin' alligator skins
So he snook in the swamp
Gonna get the boy but he never come out again.
Well, I wonder where the Louisiana sheriff went to
Well, you can sure get lost in the Louisiana bayou
About forty five minutes.
About forty five minutes...
He lived by himself in the swamp
He haunted alligators for a livin'
He just knock 'em in the head with a stump.
The Louisiana law's gonna get ya Amos
It ain't legal huntin' alligators down in the swamp boy
Now everybody blames his old man
For makin' him mean as a snake.
When Amos Moses was a boy
His daddy would use him for alligator bait
Tie a rope around his waist throw him in the swamp
Alligator bait in the Louisiana bayou.
About forty five minutes southeast of Tippidoe Louisiana
Live a man called Doc Millsap and his pretty wife Hannah
Well, they raised up a son
That could eat up his weight in groc'ries
Named him after the man of the cloth
Called him Amos Moses.
Now folks around south Louisiana
Said Amos was a hell of a man
He could trap the biggest the meanest alligator
And just use only one hand.
That's all he got left 'cause the alligator bit him
Left arm gone clean up to the elbow.
Well, the sheriff got wind
That Amos was in the swamp trappin' alligator skins
So he snook in the swamp
Gonna get the boy but he never come out again.
Well, I wonder where the Louisiana sheriff went to
Well, you can sure get lost in the Louisiana bayou
About forty five minutes.
About forty five minutes...
Memory Of Your Sweet Love lyrics - Conway Twitty
It was in my weakest moment
When temptation was so strong
Then the mem'ry of your sweet love
Came and got me and brought me home.
Today I tried to tell myself
I didn't love you anymore
Even led temptation take my hand
And lead me to her door.
Just as her footsteps came to me
I knew that I was wrong
Then the mem'ry of your sweet love
Came and got me and brought me home.
Just to know that you were waiting
Made everything else seems small
And if I could make the things come close
I came to losing it all.
It was in my weakest moment
When temptation was so strong
Then the mem'ry of your sweet love
Came and got me and brought me home.
Just to know that you were waiting
May everything else seems small
She made me forget my world at home
But only for a while
Then I remeber the times I fail
How she always pushed me on
Then the mem'ry of your sweet love
Came and got me and brought me home...
When temptation was so strong
Then the mem'ry of your sweet love
Came and got me and brought me home.
Today I tried to tell myself
I didn't love you anymore
Even led temptation take my hand
And lead me to her door.
Just as her footsteps came to me
I knew that I was wrong
Then the mem'ry of your sweet love
Came and got me and brought me home.
Just to know that you were waiting
Made everything else seems small
And if I could make the things come close
I came to losing it all.
It was in my weakest moment
When temptation was so strong
Then the mem'ry of your sweet love
Came and got me and brought me home.
Just to know that you were waiting
May everything else seems small
She made me forget my world at home
But only for a while
Then I remeber the times I fail
How she always pushed me on
Then the mem'ry of your sweet love
Came and got me and brought me home...
Let Me Be The Judge lyrics - Conway Twitty
Just let me be the judge
Of what you've done and if I find
You guilty I'll erase you
From my heart and from my mind.
Talk is goin' over town
That you my love
Have let me down
I don't believe what people say.
I still love you.
I don't believe that you're to blame
I don't believe you've brought me shame.
I just can't believe that you have been untrue.
They say I should go on alone
That you've done something very wrong
That you're not worthy of the love I have for you
But I won't believe a thing they say until you say it's true.
Just let me be the judge
Of what you've done and if I find
You guilty I'd erase you
From my heart and from my mind.
You tell me that the things they say
are true that I should go my way
You ask me to forgive you
For the wrong you've done
You say although you've been untrue
I still mean everything to you
That you only meant to dance
With him and have some fun.
Then the jukebox played our favorite song
You knew that you were doing wrong
You closed your eyes and made believe that I was there
And now you think it's better that we'll end our love affair.
Just let me be the judge
Of what you've done and if I find
You guilty I'd erase you
From my heart and from my mind...
Of what you've done and if I find
You guilty I'll erase you
From my heart and from my mind.
Talk is goin' over town
That you my love
Have let me down
I don't believe what people say.
I still love you.
I don't believe that you're to blame
I don't believe you've brought me shame.
I just can't believe that you have been untrue.
They say I should go on alone
That you've done something very wrong
That you're not worthy of the love I have for you
But I won't believe a thing they say until you say it's true.
Just let me be the judge
Of what you've done and if I find
You guilty I'd erase you
From my heart and from my mind.
You tell me that the things they say
are true that I should go my way
You ask me to forgive you
For the wrong you've done
You say although you've been untrue
I still mean everything to you
That you only meant to dance
With him and have some fun.
Then the jukebox played our favorite song
You knew that you were doing wrong
You closed your eyes and made believe that I was there
And now you think it's better that we'll end our love affair.
Just let me be the judge
Of what you've done and if I find
You guilty I'd erase you
From my heart and from my mind...
Cold, Cold Heart lyrics - Conway Twitty
I tried so hard my dear
To show that you're my every dream
Yet you are afraid each thing I do
Is but some evil scheme.
In anger unkind words are said
That make the teardrops start
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold, cold heart.
To show that you're my every dream
Yet you are afraid each thing I do
Is but some evil scheme.
In anger unkind words are said
That make the teardrops start
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold, cold heart.
I Can't Help It (If I'm Still In Love With You) lyrics - Conway Twitty
Today, I passed you on the street
And my heart fell at your feet
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you.
Somebody else stood by your side
And he looked so satisfied
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you.
A picture from the past came slowly stealing
As I brushed your arm and walked so close to you
Then suddenly I got that old time feeling
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you.
It's hard to know another's lips will kiss you
And hold you just the way I used to do
Oh, heaven only knows how much I miss you
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you.
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you...
And my heart fell at your feet
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you.
Somebody else stood by your side
And he looked so satisfied
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you.
A picture from the past came slowly stealing
As I brushed your arm and walked so close to you
Then suddenly I got that old time feeling
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you.
It's hard to know another's lips will kiss you
And hold you just the way I used to do
Oh, heaven only knows how much I miss you
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you.
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you...
They'll Never Take Her Love From Me lyrics - Conway Twitty
If today the sun should set
On all my hopes and cares
There is one who's smiling face
That Gods would see.
'Cause she'll walk along beside me
Up those golden stairs
Oh, they'll never never
Take her love from me...
On all my hopes and cares
There is one who's smiling face
That Gods would see.
'Cause she'll walk along beside me
Up those golden stairs
Oh, they'll never never
Take her love from me...
Wedding Bells lyrics - Conway Twitty
Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel
That should be ringing, now for you and me
At home alone, I hang my head in sorrow
Those wedding bells will never ring for me...
That should be ringing, now for you and me
At home alone, I hang my head in sorrow
Those wedding bells will never ring for me...
Take These Chains From My Heart lyrics - Conway Twitty
So take these chains
From my heart and set me free
You've grown cold
And no longer care for me.
All my faith in you is gone
But the heartaches linger on
Take these chains
From my heart and set me free...
From my heart and set me free
You've grown cold
And no longer care for me.
All my faith in you is gone
But the heartaches linger on
Take these chains
From my heart and set me free...
Your Cheatin' Heart lyrics - Conway Twitty
Your cheatin' heart
Will make you weep
You'll cry and cry
You'll try to sleep.
But sleep won't come
The whole night through
Your cheating heart
Will tell on you...
Will make you weep
You'll cry and cry
You'll try to sleep.
But sleep won't come
The whole night through
Your cheating heart
Will tell on you...
Hey Baby lyrics - Conway Twitty
Hey hey baby I wanna know if you'll be my girl
Hey hey baby I wanna know if you'll be my girl
When I saw you walking down the street
I said that's the kind of girl I'd like to meet
She's so pretty Lord she's fine I'm gonna make her mine all mine
Hey hey baby I wanna know if you'll be my girl
When you turned and walked away that's when I wanna say
Come on baby give me a whirl I wanna know if you'll be my girl
Say hey hey baby I wanna know if you'll be my girl
When you turned and walked away...
Say hey hey baby I wanna know if you'll be my girl
Hey hey baby I wanna know if you'll be my girl
When I saw you walking down the street
I said that's the kind of girl I'd like to meet
She's so pretty Lord she's fine I'm gonna make her mine all mine
Hey hey baby I wanna know if you'll be my girl
When you turned and walked away that's when I wanna say
Come on baby give me a whirl I wanna know if you'll be my girl
Say hey hey baby I wanna know if you'll be my girl
When you turned and walked away...
Say hey hey baby I wanna know if you'll be my girl
Fifteen Years Ago lyrics - Conway Twitty
I saw a man today who said he talked to you
not so long ago, I think a month or two
as my mind raced back in time I prayed
oh, Lord, don't let it show
he thinks I forgot you fifteen years ago
Fifteen years ago and I still feel the same
why did he have to mention your name
I'm as broken up inside as if it's been a week or so
it takes a mighty long time
to get a real love off your mind
I know, I've tried since fifteen years ago
I've got a lovely wife who thinks the world of me
I promised her my love through all eternity
I've tried hard to make her happy
and so far, she doesn't know
That I can't shake this thing of fifteen years ago
Fifteen years ago and I still feel the same
why did he have to mention your name
I'm as broken up inside as if it's been a week or so
It takes a mighty strong love
To keep a man thinking of
A girl he hasn't seen since fifteen years ago
not so long ago, I think a month or two
as my mind raced back in time I prayed
oh, Lord, don't let it show
he thinks I forgot you fifteen years ago
Fifteen years ago and I still feel the same
why did he have to mention your name
I'm as broken up inside as if it's been a week or so
it takes a mighty long time
to get a real love off your mind
I know, I've tried since fifteen years ago
I've got a lovely wife who thinks the world of me
I promised her my love through all eternity
I've tried hard to make her happy
and so far, she doesn't know
That I can't shake this thing of fifteen years ago
Fifteen years ago and I still feel the same
why did he have to mention your name
I'm as broken up inside as if it's been a week or so
It takes a mighty strong love
To keep a man thinking of
A girl he hasn't seen since fifteen years ago
Back Street Affair lyrics - Conway Twitty
You didn't know I wasn't free
When you fell in love with me
And with all your young heart, you learned to care
It brought you shame and disgrace
The world has tumbled in your face
Because they call our love a back street affair.
They say you wrecked my home
I'm a husband that's gone wrong
They don't know the sorrow that we've had to bear
For the one that I'm tied to
Was the first to be untrue
And yet they call our love a back street affair.
We have each other now
That's all that matters anyhow
For the judgement of gossip's never fair
We'll just be brave and strong
Then some day they'll see they're wrong
So let 'em call our love a back street affair.
We'll be free to love someday
When all the talk has died away
And the happiness we hoped for then we'll share
I'll climb a mountain high
And then the world can hear me cry
That our love's not a back street affair...
When you fell in love with me
And with all your young heart, you learned to care
It brought you shame and disgrace
The world has tumbled in your face
Because they call our love a back street affair.
They say you wrecked my home
I'm a husband that's gone wrong
They don't know the sorrow that we've had to bear
For the one that I'm tied to
Was the first to be untrue
And yet they call our love a back street affair.
We have each other now
That's all that matters anyhow
For the judgement of gossip's never fair
We'll just be brave and strong
Then some day they'll see they're wrong
So let 'em call our love a back street affair.
We'll be free to love someday
When all the talk has died away
And the happiness we hoped for then we'll share
I'll climb a mountain high
And then the world can hear me cry
That our love's not a back street affair...
I Can't Believe That You've Stopped Loving Me lyrics - Conway Twitty
Tomorrow I'll say happy birthday darling
And surprise you with a gift when I come home
Then my forgetful arms will reach out for you
I can't forget you just because you're gone
I can't believe that you've stopped loving me
It's too much for me to understand
How can anything so real become a dream
I can't believe that you've stopped loving me
I'v sifted all the reasons why you left me
And I've gone back and relived all the love we had
For every tear we lost I've found the thousands smiles
And the good times always outweighed the bad
I can't believe that you've stopped loving me...
I can't believe that you've stopped loving me
And surprise you with a gift when I come home
Then my forgetful arms will reach out for you
I can't forget you just because you're gone
I can't believe that you've stopped loving me
It's too much for me to understand
How can anything so real become a dream
I can't believe that you've stopped loving me
I'v sifted all the reasons why you left me
And I've gone back and relived all the love we had
For every tear we lost I've found the thousands smiles
And the good times always outweighed the bad
I can't believe that you've stopped loving me...
I can't believe that you've stopped loving me
Slowly lyrics - Conway Twitty
Slowly I'm falling more in love with you
Slowly you're winning a heart that can be true
For I can't hide my feelings no matter what I do
For slowly I'm falling more in love with you
More and more I need you and want you by my side
More and more I love you as each day passes by
My heart I know you're stealing I hope that you'll be true
For slowly I'm falling more in love with you
Slowly I'm falling more in love with you...
Slowly you're winning a heart that can be true
For I can't hide my feelings no matter what I do
For slowly I'm falling more in love with you
More and more I need you and want you by my side
More and more I love you as each day passes by
My heart I know you're stealing I hope that you'll be true
For slowly I'm falling more in love with you
Slowly I'm falling more in love with you...
Sand Covered Angels lyrics - Conway Twitty
Three sunburned noses,
The color of roses,
Bobby's got a frog in his pocket
Where is your sister
For an hour I've missed her
She's trying to find her gold locket.
And your tow-headed brother
Has startled his mother
Trying to swallow his dime.
Do you really think
The fish liked that ink
Sand covered angels of mine.
There's crayons and mittens
And a box full of kittens
Though we always called that cat Tommy
Torn shirts and dresses
And rooms that are messes
And that's a bit hard on your mommy.
Bruises amd splinters
And colds in the winter
Making up stories that rhyme
Noses need blowing
Clothes you're out growing
Sand covered angels of mine.
Fingerprints on the wall
Of the bathroom and hall
Mending your toys takes my time
But the joy I would miss
If I couldn't kiss
Sand covered angels of mine...
The color of roses,
Bobby's got a frog in his pocket
Where is your sister
For an hour I've missed her
She's trying to find her gold locket.
And your tow-headed brother
Has startled his mother
Trying to swallow his dime.
Do you really think
The fish liked that ink
Sand covered angels of mine.
There's crayons and mittens
And a box full of kittens
Though we always called that cat Tommy
Torn shirts and dresses
And rooms that are messes
And that's a bit hard on your mommy.
Bruises amd splinters
And colds in the winter
Making up stories that rhyme
Noses need blowing
Clothes you're out growing
Sand covered angels of mine.
Fingerprints on the wall
Of the bathroom and hall
Mending your toys takes my time
But the joy I would miss
If I couldn't kiss
Sand covered angels of mine...
She Can Only See The Good In Me lyrics - Conway Twitty
She wants the world to know she loves me so
My woman can only see the good in me
She never had a thing she needed just enough to get by
And many times I've done her wrong late at night I've hurt her pride
She don't complain at the bad she's had and the things that used to be
She wants the world to know she loves me so
My woman can only see the good in me
She soon forgets the many times I've hurt her
And accepts me for what I am not for what I should be
And through all the bad she's had she just lives for me to love her
And she can only see the good in me
Where did love come from why does it stay how can she go on this way
What happened to all the dreams I had for her just yesterday
It's not her fault they didn't work out all my dreams were fantasy
Still by my side she walks with pride and she can only see the good in me
My woman can only see the good in me
My woman can only see the good in me
She never had a thing she needed just enough to get by
And many times I've done her wrong late at night I've hurt her pride
She don't complain at the bad she's had and the things that used to be
She wants the world to know she loves me so
My woman can only see the good in me
She soon forgets the many times I've hurt her
And accepts me for what I am not for what I should be
And through all the bad she's had she just lives for me to love her
And she can only see the good in me
Where did love come from why does it stay how can she go on this way
What happened to all the dreams I had for her just yesterday
It's not her fault they didn't work out all my dreams were fantasy
Still by my side she walks with pride and she can only see the good in me
My woman can only see the good in me
I'll Come Running lyrics - Conway Twitty
If you ever want somebody to love if you ever get to feeling blue
If you ever want a little company then I'll come running to you
It's been so long since I held you tight
But I still dream about you darling every night
I don't care who was wrong or who was right
I'll come running to you
Now all my love belongs to you that's just the way that I feel
And if you'll give me the least little chance I'd show you my love is really real
Well I'm not a bit ashamed to sit here and wait if that's all what I've got to do
I'll be around if your new love turns you down I'll come running to you
Now all my love belongs to you...
If you ever want a little company then I'll come running to you
It's been so long since I held you tight
But I still dream about you darling every night
I don't care who was wrong or who was right
I'll come running to you
Now all my love belongs to you that's just the way that I feel
And if you'll give me the least little chance I'd show you my love is really real
Well I'm not a bit ashamed to sit here and wait if that's all what I've got to do
I'll be around if your new love turns you down I'll come running to you
Now all my love belongs to you...
Darling Days lyrics - Conway Twitty
If I never love again I won't feel cheated
You gave me more than I knew how to use On
the day we met my journey was completed
Even though my autumn years won't be with you.
Seems like yesterday we called each other
darling Seems like yesterday you reached
and touched my hand I'd love to hear you
say good morning darling Oh what I'd give to
live those darling days again
Today my heart survives on love that's borrowed
From all the happy yesterdays we knew If I knew
for sure the world would end tomorrow I'd have
to spend my last days loving you.
Seems like yesterday we called each other darling
Seems like yesterday you reached and touched my
hand I'd love to hear you say good morning darling
Oh what I'd give to live those darling days again
Oh what I'd give to live those darling days again
You gave me more than I knew how to use On
the day we met my journey was completed
Even though my autumn years won't be with you.
Seems like yesterday we called each other
darling Seems like yesterday you reached
and touched my hand I'd love to hear you
say good morning darling Oh what I'd give to
live those darling days again
Today my heart survives on love that's borrowed
From all the happy yesterdays we knew If I knew
for sure the world would end tomorrow I'd have
to spend my last days loving you.
Seems like yesterday we called each other darling
Seems like yesterday you reached and touched my
hand I'd love to hear you say good morning darling
Oh what I'd give to live those darling days again
Oh what I'd give to live those darling days again
Little Girl Cried lyrics - Conway Twitty
And a little cried cause a little boy lied
The vows that he made he broke and betrayed
And her little heart broke cause the words that he spoke
Were just tenrder lies and a little girld cried
She was too young to know that he'd soon hurt her so
So she gave him her heart never dreamed they would part
Now it's over and done he's had all his fun
He just told her goodbye and a little girl cried
She was too young to know...
The vows that he made he broke and betrayed
And her little heart broke cause the words that he spoke
Were just tenrder lies and a little girld cried
She was too young to know that he'd soon hurt her so
So she gave him her heart never dreamed they would part
Now it's over and done he's had all his fun
He just told her goodbye and a little girl cried
She was too young to know...
Wild Mountain Rose lyrics - Conway Twitty
High on the mountain where the wild flowers grow
I fell in love with my wild mountain Rose
Rose lived high on the mountain with the bright lights of the city below
She dreamed of the day we would go there just me and my wild mountain Rose
But like the wild wind I drifted from her far below to the bright lights of town
I promised to come back and get her but time passed and I'd let her down
Now high on the mountain where the wild flowers grow
There's nothing but mem'ries of my wild mountain Rose
One night in town they told me of this beauty in a place where lonely men go
And they talked of her red lips and her black hair
And they called her their wild mountain Rose
And tonight I saw Rose for the first time in town in her new city clothes
And I'm to blame for the scarlet light that's burning
In the life of my wild mountain Rose
Now down in the valley where the lonely wind blows
I lost the love of my wild mountain Rose
I fell in love with my wild mountain Rose
Rose lived high on the mountain with the bright lights of the city below
She dreamed of the day we would go there just me and my wild mountain Rose
But like the wild wind I drifted from her far below to the bright lights of town
I promised to come back and get her but time passed and I'd let her down
Now high on the mountain where the wild flowers grow
There's nothing but mem'ries of my wild mountain Rose
One night in town they told me of this beauty in a place where lonely men go
And they talked of her red lips and her black hair
And they called her their wild mountain Rose
And tonight I saw Rose for the first time in town in her new city clothes
And I'm to blame for the scarlet light that's burning
In the life of my wild mountain Rose
Now down in the valley where the lonely wind blows
I lost the love of my wild mountain Rose
Rocky Top lyrics - Conway Twitty
Wish that I was on ole Rocky Top
Down in the Tennessee hills
Ain't no smoggy smoke up on Rocky Top
Ain't no telephone bills.
Once I had a girl on ole Rocky Top
Part bear the other part cat
Wild as a mink but sweet as soda pop
I still dream about that.
Rocky Top you'll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good ole Rocky Top,
Rocky Top Tennessee, Rocky Top Tennessee.
Once two strangers climbed old Rocky Top
Lookin' for a moonshine still
Strangers ain't come down from ol' Rocky Top
Reckon they never will.
Corn won't grow at all on Rocky Top
Dirt's too rocky by far
That's why all the folks on Rocky Top
Get their corn from a jar.
Rocky Top you'll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good ole Rocky Top,
Rocky Top Tennessee, Rocky Top Tennessee.
Rocky Top you'll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good ole Rocky Top,
Rocky Top Tennessee, Rocky Top Tennessee.
Rocky Top Tennessee...
Down in the Tennessee hills
Ain't no smoggy smoke up on Rocky Top
Ain't no telephone bills.
Once I had a girl on ole Rocky Top
Part bear the other part cat
Wild as a mink but sweet as soda pop
I still dream about that.
Rocky Top you'll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good ole Rocky Top,
Rocky Top Tennessee, Rocky Top Tennessee.
Once two strangers climbed old Rocky Top
Lookin' for a moonshine still
Strangers ain't come down from ol' Rocky Top
Reckon they never will.
Corn won't grow at all on Rocky Top
Dirt's too rocky by far
That's why all the folks on Rocky Top
Get their corn from a jar.
Rocky Top you'll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good ole Rocky Top,
Rocky Top Tennessee, Rocky Top Tennessee.
Rocky Top you'll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good ole Rocky Top,
Rocky Top Tennessee, Rocky Top Tennessee.
Rocky Top Tennessee...
I'll Get Over Losing You lyrics - Conway Twitty
The pain, the pain of a broken heart
The price I'll pay for loving you
I loved you from the very start
But I'll get over losing you.
I just can't seem to realize
You're leaving me today
As burning teardrops fill my eyes
I watch you walk away.
The pain, the pain of a broken heart
The price I'll pay for loving you
I loved you from the very start
But I'll get over losing you.
I lost my love, I lost my home
I just can't seem to win
If I get over losing you
I'll never love again.
The pain, the pain of a broken heart
The price I'll pay for loving you
I loved you from the very start
But I'll get over losing you...
The price I'll pay for loving you
I loved you from the very start
But I'll get over losing you.
I just can't seem to realize
You're leaving me today
As burning teardrops fill my eyes
I watch you walk away.
The pain, the pain of a broken heart
The price I'll pay for loving you
I loved you from the very start
But I'll get over losing you.
I lost my love, I lost my home
I just can't seem to win
If I get over losing you
I'll never love again.
The pain, the pain of a broken heart
The price I'll pay for loving you
I loved you from the very start
But I'll get over losing you...
Up Comes The Bottle (Down Goes The Man) lyrics - Conway Twitty
Up comes the bottle and down goes the man
I can't help him but I can understand
When up comes the bottle
And down, down, down, goes the man.
You may find him anywhere there's heartache and despair
With loneliness so heavy you can feel it in the air
And the only thing that matters is the drink in his hand
Then up comes the bottle
And down, down, down, goes the man.
You can read between the lines of his withered face
See defeat in his eyes that keeps searching every place
Just when he tells you he can quit
You see the tremble in his hands
Then up comes the bottle
And down, down, down, goes the man.
Up comes the bottle and down goes the man
There's just one thing can stop him
The love of my woman is all that can
For he loves her you see but she left him for me
I can't help him but I can understand
When up comes the bottle
And down, down, down, goes the man...
I can't help him but I can understand
When up comes the bottle
And down, down, down, goes the man.
You may find him anywhere there's heartache and despair
With loneliness so heavy you can feel it in the air
And the only thing that matters is the drink in his hand
Then up comes the bottle
And down, down, down, goes the man.
You can read between the lines of his withered face
See defeat in his eyes that keeps searching every place
Just when he tells you he can quit
You see the tremble in his hands
Then up comes the bottle
And down, down, down, goes the man.
Up comes the bottle and down goes the man
There's just one thing can stop him
The love of my woman is all that can
For he loves her you see but she left him for me
I can't help him but I can understand
When up comes the bottle
And down, down, down, goes the man...
You And Your Sweet Love lyrics - Conway Twitty
I wish you only knew
All the days I've made it through
Because of you
And your sweet love.
I wish that I could count the times
Peace and comfort filled my mind
Because of you
And your sweet love.
You're what keeps me going
The sun that lights my sky
The rose that blooms in winter
The rain that cools July.
Never try to tell me
That it wasn't God above
That sent me you
And your sweet love.
Almost every night it seems
You come walking through my dreams
Precious you
And your sweet love.
And tonight though we're apart
There's a fullness in my heart
Thanks to you
And your sweet love.
You're the rock I cling to
The star I wish upon
The water in my desert
The anchor in my storm.
Never try to tell me
That it wasn't God above
That sent me you
And your sweet love.
Precious you
And your sweet love...
All the days I've made it through
Because of you
And your sweet love.
I wish that I could count the times
Peace and comfort filled my mind
Because of you
And your sweet love.
You're what keeps me going
The sun that lights my sky
The rose that blooms in winter
The rain that cools July.
Never try to tell me
That it wasn't God above
That sent me you
And your sweet love.
Almost every night it seems
You come walking through my dreams
Precious you
And your sweet love.
And tonight though we're apart
There's a fullness in my heart
Thanks to you
And your sweet love.
You're the rock I cling to
The star I wish upon
The water in my desert
The anchor in my storm.
Never try to tell me
That it wasn't God above
That sent me you
And your sweet love.
Precious you
And your sweet love...
Hello Darlin' lyrics - Conway Twitty
Hello, darlin'
Nice to see you
It's been a long time
You're just as lovely as you used to be.
How's your new love?
Are you happy?
Hope you're doin' fine
Just to know it means so much to me.
What's that, darlin'?
How am I doin'?
I'm doin' alright
Except I can't sleep and I cry all night 'til dawn.
What I'm trying to say
Is I love you
And I miss you
And I'm so sorry that I did you wrong.
Look up, darlin'
Let me kiss you
Just for old time's sake
Let me hold you in my arms one more time.
Thank you, darlin'
May God bless you
And each step you take
Bring you closer to the things you seek to find.
Goodbye, darlin'
I gotta go now
Gotta try to find a way
To lose these memories of a love so warm and true.
And if you should ever find it
In your heart to forgive me
Come back, darlin'
I'll be waitin' for you...
Nice to see you
It's been a long time
You're just as lovely as you used to be.
How's your new love?
Are you happy?
Hope you're doin' fine
Just to know it means so much to me.
What's that, darlin'?
How am I doin'?
I'm doin' alright
Except I can't sleep and I cry all night 'til dawn.
What I'm trying to say
Is I love you
And I miss you
And I'm so sorry that I did you wrong.
Look up, darlin'
Let me kiss you
Just for old time's sake
Let me hold you in my arms one more time.
Thank you, darlin'
May God bless you
And each step you take
Bring you closer to the things you seek to find.
Goodbye, darlin'
I gotta go now
Gotta try to find a way
To lose these memories of a love so warm and true.
And if you should ever find it
In your heart to forgive me
Come back, darlin'
I'll be waitin' for you...
Rose lyrics - Conway Twitty
Just two kids from the country far from any town
And wherever I played Rose could always be found
Life was hard but we made it and as everyone knows
I was there when she needed me a playmate of Rose.
Now years have passed things have changed since we moved into town
The little girl I grew up with is your woman now I found
And now the sidewalks of the city where wild temptation flows
Is her new playground and the playmates of Rose.
So if you're the one that's holdin' her tight
Somewhere out there at night
Please don't treat her as if she's just another girl
From off the street
And please don't do her wrong for her pride is almost gone
For you see Rose means the world to me
I love the girl you found out in the world
The girl that every man knows
But I love her today so different from your way
For you see I'm the brother of Rose...
And wherever I played Rose could always be found
Life was hard but we made it and as everyone knows
I was there when she needed me a playmate of Rose.
Now years have passed things have changed since we moved into town
The little girl I grew up with is your woman now I found
And now the sidewalks of the city where wild temptation flows
Is her new playground and the playmates of Rose.
So if you're the one that's holdin' her tight
Somewhere out there at night
Please don't treat her as if she's just another girl
From off the street
And please don't do her wrong for her pride is almost gone
For you see Rose means the world to me
I love the girl you found out in the world
The girl that every man knows
But I love her today so different from your way
For you see I'm the brother of Rose...
Reuben James lyrics - Conway Twitty
Reuben James in my song you'll live again
And the phrases that I rhyme
Are just the footsteps out of time
From the time when I knew you, Reuben James.
Reuben James all the folks
Around Madison Caunty cussed your name
Just a no count sharecroppin' colored man
Who'd steal anything that he can
And they always laid the blame on, Reuben James.
Reuben James you still walk
The furrowed fields of my mind
The faded shirt the wrinkled brow
The calloused hand upon the plow
I loved you then and I love you now, Reuben James.
Flora Gray the gossip of Madison County died with the child
And although your skin was black
You were the one who didn't turn your back
On a hungry white child with no name, Reuben James.
Reuben James with your mind on my soul
And Bible in your right hand
You said turn the other cheek
There's a better world waitin' for the meek
In my mind these words remain from, Reuben James.
Reuben James you still walk
The furrowed fields of my mind
The faded shirt the wrinkled brow
The calloused hand upon the plow
I loved you then and I love you now, Reuben James.
Reuben James one cold dark day
They brought you from the fields
And that lonely pinebox came
Just a preacher me and the rain
To sing one last refrain for, Reuben James.
Reuben James you still walk
The furrowed fields of my mind
The faded shirt the wrinkled brow
The calloused hand upon the plow
I loved you then and I love you now, Reuben James...
And the phrases that I rhyme
Are just the footsteps out of time
From the time when I knew you, Reuben James.
Reuben James all the folks
Around Madison Caunty cussed your name
Just a no count sharecroppin' colored man
Who'd steal anything that he can
And they always laid the blame on, Reuben James.
Reuben James you still walk
The furrowed fields of my mind
The faded shirt the wrinkled brow
The calloused hand upon the plow
I loved you then and I love you now, Reuben James.
Flora Gray the gossip of Madison County died with the child
And although your skin was black
You were the one who didn't turn your back
On a hungry white child with no name, Reuben James.
Reuben James with your mind on my soul
And Bible in your right hand
You said turn the other cheek
There's a better world waitin' for the meek
In my mind these words remain from, Reuben James.
Reuben James you still walk
The furrowed fields of my mind
The faded shirt the wrinkled brow
The calloused hand upon the plow
I loved you then and I love you now, Reuben James.
Reuben James one cold dark day
They brought you from the fields
And that lonely pinebox came
Just a preacher me and the rain
To sing one last refrain for, Reuben James.
Reuben James you still walk
The furrowed fields of my mind

The calloused hand upon the plow
I loved you then and I love you now, Reuben James...
I Never Once Stopped Loving You lyrics - Conway Twitty
The nights were dark and long, I spent a million all alone
But I never once stopped loving you.
My world was cold and still my dreams lay unfulfilled
But I never once stopped loving you.
I never once stopped believing
We'd love again the way we used to do
And today when you came back my patience was rewarded
For I never once stopped loving you.
I could have loved another but I chose the way and suffered
For I never once stopped loving you.
And I prayed to God to guide you till I could be beside you
And I never once stopped loving you.
I never once stopped believing
We'd love again the way we used to do
And today when you came back my patience was rewarded
For I never once stopped loving you...
But I never once stopped loving you.
My world was cold and still my dreams lay unfulfilled
But I never once stopped loving you.
I never once stopped believing
We'd love again the way we used to do
And today when you came back my patience was rewarded
For I never once stopped loving you.
I could have loved another but I chose the way and suffered
For I never once stopped loving you.
And I prayed to God to guide you till I could be beside you
And I never once stopped loving you.
I never once stopped believing
We'd love again the way we used to do
And today when you came back my patience was rewarded
For I never once stopped loving you...
Will You Visit Me On Sunday lyrics - Conway Twitty
Just outside these prison bars a hanging tree is waiting
At sunrise I'll meet darkness and death will say, Hello.
Darling, touch your lips to mine and tell me that you love me
And promise me again, before I go.
Will you visit me on Sunday, will you bring me pretty flowers
Will your big blue eyes be misty, will you brush away a tear
A grave is filled with silence, but if a sleeping man could hear
Darling, would I hear your footsteps up there?
Promise me that time won't seperate me from your mem'ry
That you'll remember me until the days of silver hair
If not for you I know I'd lose my mind before the morning
Hold me close and tell me that you care.
Will you visit me on Sunday, will you bring me pretty flowers
Will your big blue eyes be misty, will you brush away a tear
A grave is filled with silence, but if a sleeping man could hear
Darling, would I hear your footsteps up there?..
At sunrise I'll meet darkness and death will say, Hello.
Darling, touch your lips to mine and tell me that you love me
And promise me again, before I go.
Will you visit me on Sunday, will you bring me pretty flowers
Will your big blue eyes be misty, will you brush away a tear
A grave is filled with silence, but if a sleeping man could hear
Darling, would I hear your footsteps up there?
Promise me that time won't seperate me from your mem'ry
That you'll remember me until the days of silver hair
If not for you I know I'd lose my mind before the morning
Hold me close and tell me that you care.
Will you visit me on Sunday, will you bring me pretty flowers
Will your big blue eyes be misty, will you brush away a tear
A grave is filled with silence, but if a sleeping man could hear
Darling, would I hear your footsteps up there?..
Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain lyrics - Conway Twitty
In the twilight glow, I see her
Blue eyes cryin' in the rain;
As we kissed goodbye and parted,
I knew we'd never meet again.
Love is like a dying ember,
Only memories remain;
Through the ages I'll remember,
Blue eyes cryin' in the rain.
Now my hair has turned to silver,
All my life I've loved in vain;
I can see her star in heaven,
Blue eyes cryin' in the rain.
Someday when we meet up yonder,
We'll stroll hand in hand again;
And in a land that knows no parting,
Blue eyes crying in the rain.
Blue eyes crying in the rain...
Blue eyes cryin' in the rain;
As we kissed goodbye and parted,
I knew we'd never meet again.
Love is like a dying ember,
Only memories remain;
Through the ages I'll remember,
Blue eyes cryin' in the rain.
Now my hair has turned to silver,
All my life I've loved in vain;
I can see her star in heaven,
Blue eyes cryin' in the rain.
Someday when we meet up yonder,
We'll stroll hand in hand again;
And in a land that knows no parting,
Blue eyes crying in the rain.
Blue eyes crying in the rain...
I'm So Used To Loving You lyrics - Conway Twitty
I'm so used to loving you, sweetheart
You're on my mind each minute we're apart
And I love you more each day that we go through
Yes, you're my life and I'll live it, loving you.
I'm so used to loving you, it seems
I can't stand the thought of losing you
Not even in my dreams.
Hold me close and tell me what I'd do, without you
I couldn't stand it, I'm so used to loving you.
I'm so used to the little things you say
Like hello darlin', did you have a busy day
And the way you hold me close when day is through
Yes, you're my love and I love it loving you.
I'm so used to loving you, it seems
I can't stand the thought of losing you
Not even in my dreams.
Hold me close and tell me what I'd do, without you
I couldn't take it, I'm so used to loving you...
You're on my mind each minute we're apart
And I love you more each day that we go through
Yes, you're my life and I'll live it, loving you.
I'm so used to loving you, it seems
I can't stand the thought of losing you
Not even in my dreams.
Hold me close and tell me what I'd do, without you
I couldn't stand it, I'm so used to loving you.
I'm so used to the little things you say
Like hello darlin', did you have a busy day
And the way you hold me close when day is through
Yes, you're my love and I love it loving you.
I'm so used to loving you, it seems
I can't stand the thought of losing you
Not even in my dreams.
Hold me close and tell me what I'd do, without you
I couldn't take it, I'm so used to loving you...
House Of The Rising Sun lyrics - Conway Twitty
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And, Lord, I know I'm one
My mother was a tailor, boys
She sewed my old blue jeans
My daddy was a gamblin' man
Way down in New Orleans
I got one foot on the platform, boys
The other on that train
I'm going down to New Orleans
To pull that ball and chain
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And, Lord, I know I'm one
In the house of the Rising Sun
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And, Lord, I know I'm one
My mother was a tailor, boys
She sewed my old blue jeans
My daddy was a gamblin' man
Way down in New Orleans
I got one foot on the platform, boys
The other on that train
I'm going down to New Orleans
To pull that ball and chain
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And, Lord, I know I'm one
In the house of the Rising Sun
Be Proud Of Your Man lyrics - Conway Twitty
Darling, I love you, can't you see
So help me, and love me all you can
And if you love me, then love me
For what I am, not what I should be
Woman be proud of your man.
Walk with me, not on me,
Talk to me, not about me
Help me don't hurt me
Be proud of your man.
Laugh with me, not at me
Look at me, not through me
Face me, don't disgrace me
Be proud of your man.
Pull with me, not against me
See some good in the bad in me
Reassure me, don't destroy me
Be proud of your man.
Be behind me, not above me
Hold me, don't control me
Help me, don't hurt me
Be proud of your man.
Woman be proud of your man...
So help me, and love me all you can
And if you love me, then love me
For what I am, not what I should be
Woman be proud of your man.
Walk with me, not on me,
Talk to me, not about me
Help me don't hurt me
Be proud of your man.
Laugh with me, not at me
Look at me, not through me
Face me, don't disgrace me
Be proud of your man.
Pull with me, not against me
See some good in the bad in me
Reassure me, don't destroy me
Be proud of your man.
Be behind me, not above me
Hold me, don't control me
Help me, don't hurt me
Be proud of your man.
Woman be proud of your man...
These Lonely Hands Of Mine lyrics - Conway Twitty
Any girl who hangs out in a honky tonk who smokes my cigarettes and drinks my wine
Some call her a bad girl but to me she means the world
Cause she's holding these lonely hands of mine
She listens while I cry on her shoulder she runs her slender fingers through my hair
Other men may hold her tight but right now tonight
She's holding these lonely hands of mine
She's holding the hands that once held you so tight
She smiles each time I call her by your name
She listens to my same sad story every night
She says I'm right and she gives you the blame
Any girl who hangs out...
Cause she's holding these lonely hands of mine
Some call her a bad girl but to me she means the world
Cause she's holding these lonely hands of mine
She listens while I cry on her shoulder she runs her slender fingers through my hair
Other men may hold her tight but right now tonight
She's holding these lonely hands of mine
She's holding the hands that once held you so tight
She smiles each time I call her by your name
She listens to my same sad story every night
She says I'm right and she gives you the blame
Any girl who hangs out...
Cause she's holding these lonely hands of mine
To See My Angel Cry lyrics - Conway Twitty
See her there, see her crying,
She thinks she loves him so
She don't know how much it hurts me
To hear her beg him not to go.
If she were mine again
I'd never let the tears fill her eyes
She don't know how much it hurts me
To see an angel cry.
Once she built her world around me
But like a fool I tore it down
And she begged me not to leave her,
Just the way she's doing now.
Now, she's begging to another
With that same hurt in her eyes
She don't know how much it hurts me
To see an angel cry.
I didn't know how much I loved her
Till she turned and walked away
I didn't know how much I'd hurt her
Till I saw her here this way.
If she were mine I'd hold her forever
and dry the tears from her eyes
She don't know how much it hurts me
To see my angel cry.
She don't know how much it hurts me
To see my angel cry...
She thinks she loves him so
She don't know how much it hurts me
To hear her beg him not to go.
If she were mine again
I'd never let the tears fill her eyes
She don't know how much it hurts me
To see an angel cry.
Once she built her world around me
But like a fool I tore it down
And she begged me not to leave her,
Just the way she's doing now.
Now, she's begging to another
With that same hurt in her eyes
She don't know how much it hurts me
To see an angel cry.
I didn't know how much I loved her
Till she turned and walked away
I didn't know how much I'd hurt her
Till I saw her here this way.
If she were mine I'd hold her forever
and dry the tears from her eyes
She don't know how much it hurts me
To see my angel cry.
She don't know how much it hurts me
To see my angel cry...
My Heart Knows lyrics - Conway Twitty
You keep saying you love me
And I know it's not true
You just don't want to hurt me
I respect that in you.
You're in love with another
And you won't let it show
Oh, I hate to admit it
But it's sure my heart knows.
I thought I'd won when he lost
You I thought you'd forget
But there's still one old mem'ry
That you haven't lost yet.
I know I'd die when I lose you
I know I won't let you go
For you'd never be happy
This is true my heart knows.
So goodbye and God bless you
I'm setting you free
Just to know you'd be happy
Means so much to me.
I know I'd die when I lose you
I know I must let you go
For you'll never be happy
This is true my heart knows...
And I know it's not true
You just don't want to hurt me
I respect that in you.
You're in love with another
And you won't let it show
Oh, I hate to admit it
But it's sure my heart knows.
I thought I'd won when he lost
You I thought you'd forget
But there's still one old mem'ry
That you haven't lost yet.
I know I'd die when I lose you
I know I won't let you go
For you'd never be happy
This is true my heart knows.
So goodbye and God bless you
I'm setting you free
Just to know you'd be happy
Means so much to me.
I know I'd die when I lose you
I know I must let you go
For you'll never be happy
This is true my heart knows...
I'd Rather Be Gone lyrics - Conway Twitty
I feel like a stranger in this home I built for you
And I can't understand this awful change you're going through
But lately I've been watching you grow colder day by day
And I'd rather be gone than in your way.
I'd rather be gone than in your way
I'd rather see someone else here in my place
And if I decide on leaving my world will end today
But I'd rather be gone than in your way.
I'd rather be gone than in your way
I'd rather see someone else here in my place
And if I decide on leaving my world will end today
But I'd rather be gone than in your way...
And I can't understand this awful change you're going through
But lately I've been watching you grow colder day by day
And I'd rather be gone than in your way.
I'd rather be gone than in your way
I'd rather see someone else here in my place
And if I decide on leaving my world will end today
But I'd rather be gone than in your way.
I'd rather be gone than in your way
I'd rather see someone else here in my place
And if I decide on leaving my world will end today
But I'd rather be gone than in your way...
Okie From Muskogee lyrics - Conway Twitty
We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee
And we don't take our trips on LSD
We don't burn our draft cards down on Main Street
'Cause we like living right and being free.
We don't make a party out of loving
But we like holding hands and pitching woo
And we don't let our hair grow long and shaggy
Like the hippies out in San Francisco do.
And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee
A place where even squares can have a ball
And we still wave Ol' Glory down at the courthouse
And white lightning's still the biggest thrill of all.
Cowboy boots are still in style for manly footwear
Beads and Roman sandals won't be seen
And football's still the roughest thing on campus
And the kids here still respect the college dean.
And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee
A place where even squares can have a ball
And we still wave Ol' Glory down at the courthouse
And white lightning's still the biggest thrill of all.
In Muskogee, Oklahoma, U.S.A.
And we don't take our trips on LSD
We don't burn our draft cards down on Main Street
'Cause we like living right and being free.
We don't make a party out of loving
But we like holding hands and pitching woo
And we don't let our hair grow long and shaggy
Like the hippies out in San Francisco do.
And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee
A place where even squares can have a ball
And we still wave Ol' Glory down at the courthouse
And white lightning's still the biggest thrill of all.
Cowboy boots are still in style for manly footwear
Beads and Roman sandals won't be seen
And football's still the roughest thing on campus
And the kids here still respect the college dean.
And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee
A place where even squares can have a ball
And we still wave Ol' Glory down at the courthouse
And white lightning's still the biggest thrill of all.
In Muskogee, Oklahoma, U.S.A.
That's When She Started To Stop Loving You lyrics - Conway Twitty
Does she seem a little cold when you love her
Does she turn away when you hold her tight
Just search your soul and you will discover
How you hurt her, night after night.
And when was the first time she begged you to love her
But you turned away and acted like a fool
And when was the first time she lay there and cried
Well, that's when she started to stop loving you.
Do you wonder why she's turning to another
And if you love her you'd better tell her so
'Cause she's finding out that anyone will love her
And it won't be long 'till you'll have to let her go.
And when was the first time she begged you to love her
But you turned away and acted like a fool
And when was the first time she lay there and cried
Well, that's when she started to stop loving you...
Does she turn away when you hold her tight
Just search your soul and you will discover
How you hurt her, night after night.
And when was the first time she begged you to love her
But you turned away and acted like a fool
And when was the first time she lay there and cried
Well, that's when she started to stop loving you.
Do you wonder why she's turning to another
And if you love her you'd better tell her so
'Cause she's finding out that anyone will love her
And it won't be long 'till you'll have to let her go.
And when was the first time she begged you to love her
But you turned away and acted like a fool
And when was the first time she lay there and cried
Well, that's when she started to stop loving you...
Girl At The Bar lyrics - Conway Twitty
(Don't go too far with the girl at the bar)
(She'll only bring you misery)
A bottle on the table
Empty glass in trembling hand
Through tear dimmed eyes
I watch her as she talks to another man.
A picture of true loveliness
This girl I used to know
But then I found she slipped around
And I had to let her go.
Now it's all right to have a drink or two
With my old used to be
Or hold her while the jukebox plays
A tender melody
But don't go too far with the girl at the bar
She'll only bring you misery.
Not too many months ago
We planned our wedding vows
And I was the man who stood
Where you are standing now.
I believed the things she said
I gave my heart away
But they were lies and that is why
I'm all alone today.
This bottle and this empty glass
Are all that's left for me
She's found another heart to break
And has forgotten me.
Yes, I went too far
With the girl at the bar
heartaches now blur my memory
To her I'm just another used to be...
(She'll only bring you misery)
A bottle on the table
Empty glass in trembling hand
Through tear dimmed eyes
I watch her as she talks to another man.
A picture of true loveliness
This girl I used to know
But then I found she slipped around
And I had to let her go.
Now it's all right to have a drink or two
With my old used to be
Or hold her while the jukebox plays
A tender melody
But don't go too far with the girl at the bar
She'll only bring you misery.
Not too many months ago
We planned our wedding vows
And I was the man who stood
Where you are standing now.
I believed the things she said
I gave my heart away
But they were lies and that is why
I'm all alone today.
This bottle and this empty glass
Are all that's left for me
She's found another heart to break
And has forgotten me.
Yes, I went too far
With the girl at the bar
heartaches now blur my memory
To her I'm just another used to be...
I Did The Best I Could lyrics - Conway Twitty
(And I did the best I could with what I had)
When I first met you I promised you the world
And it was all because you were my favorite girl
Pretty things like diamond rings and all the things you never had
But I did the best I could with what I had.
I know you won't need a mansion on the hill
A big fine car a schauffer at the wheel
But time passed on and things went wrong
And all you ever got was sad
But I did the best I could with what I had.
And all I had was all the love in the world for one girl
And the promise to try hard someway to get ahead
But the promises I made I've broken and betrayed
But I did the best I could with what I had.
Yes, I did the best I could with what I had...
When I first met you I promised you the world
And it was all because you were my favorite girl
Pretty things like diamond rings and all the things you never had
But I did the best I could with what I had.
I know you won't need a mansion on the hill
A big fine car a schauffer at the wheel
But time passed on and things went wrong
And all you ever got was sad
But I did the best I could with what I had.
And all I had was all the love in the world for one girl
And the promise to try hard someway to get ahead
But the promises I made I've broken and betrayed
But I did the best I could with what I had.
Yes, I did the best I could with what I had...
I Love You More Today lyrics - Conway Twitty
I want you more than anything in the world
You mean more to me than any other girl
Now he's with you and things you do with him
We've done them for so long
I love you more today, than he can from now on.
I've kissed your tears away when you were sad
Held you close, felt your warm love when you were glad
So, no matter how much love he has for you or how long
I love you more today, than he can from now on.
We've already done the things he plans to do
So don't be surprised if late at night
I'm in your dreams with you.
And if someday his love for goes wrong
I love you more today, than he can from now on.
I love you more today, than he can from now on...
Star Spangled Heaven lyrics - Conway Twitty
Over the battle fields of all the great wars
Since the beginning of time Have walked perhaps
The bravest heroes of them all.
The men known simply by the soldiers as the Chaplain.
And this is the story of but one of the many
And many thousands who gave his life in the service
Of his God and his country.
There's a star spangled heaven for every soldier boy
Who fights to keep our country clean and free
So soldier trust in Jesus let him fill your heart with joy
He'll stand by you throughout eternity.
An old, old army chaplain who was stooped and bent with years
Was walkin' o'er the battle field his old eyes filled with tears.
He was searching for the wounded to try to ease their pain
And for those he knew would never live to rise and fight again.
For life for them was over their earthly cares were done
They had gone to meet their Saviour their battle had been won.
And I couldn't help but notice as he went from place to place
That each soldier boy had died fighting with a smile upon his face.
And I saw him kneel beside each one and slowly breathe the prayer
While the tears were streamin' down his face
And the wind blew through his hair.
And I could hear the big guns boomin' o'er the hill and not too far away
And as I turned to leave him that's when I heard him say.
There's a star spangled heaven for every soldier boy
Who fights to keep our country clean and free
So soldier trust in Jesus let him fill your heart with joy
He'll stand by you throughout eternity.
Though days and month and even years
Have slowly drifted by
And all we have are the mem'ries
Of our boys who have to die.
They're living with their Saviour beyond the crystal sea
In the Star Spangled Heaven throughout eternity...
Since the beginning of time Have walked perhaps
The bravest heroes of them all.
The men known simply by the soldiers as the Chaplain.
And this is the story of but one of the many
And many thousands who gave his life in the service
Of his God and his country.
There's a star spangled heaven for every soldier boy
Who fights to keep our country clean and free
So soldier trust in Jesus let him fill your heart with joy
He'll stand by you throughout eternity.
An old, old army chaplain who was stooped and bent with years
