I've never been one to ask help of a stranger
But I'm so much in need I'm gonna make an exception this time
I loved her dearly now I can’t think clearly
I'm asking for your help wine
To think that a glass could erase all my past
That's asking too much of the wine
The barroom's dark and my knees a bit unsteady
Would you ever believe that this is my very first time
The drinks they keep comin' my brain they’re not numbin'
It's failing to comfort my mind
To think that a glass could erase all my past
That's asking too much of the wine
Oh never have I wanted or needed so much to lose myself in a drink
I was hopin' in time I'd get help from the wine
And not have to sit here and think
But the longer I try the harder I cry still thoughts of your love cross my mind
To think that a drink can change the way I think
That's asking too much of the wine
Your Leaving Left Me Still Loving You lyrics - Conway Twitty
Last night was our last night together
And it's too soon to know what I'll go through
They say time will tell me if it's over
But your leaving left me still loving you
I know the hurt of the last time will haunt me a lifetime
And the worst is yet to go through
And in turn there'll be more than the one just before
For your leaving left me still loving you
If I can't have you then I'll hold you in mem'ry
Remember we made quite a few
I can't believe your love has left me
And your leaving left me still loving you
I know the hurt of the last time will haunt me a lifetime...
And it's too soon to know what I'll go through
They say time will tell me if it's over
But your leaving left me still loving you
I know the hurt of the last time will haunt me a lifetime
And the worst is yet to go through
And in turn there'll be more than the one just before
For your leaving left me still loving you
If I can't have you then I'll hold you in mem'ry
Remember we made quite a few
I can't believe your love has left me
And your leaving left me still loving you
I know the hurt of the last time will haunt me a lifetime...
There's A Honky Tonk Angel (Who'll Take Me Back In) lyrics - Conway Twitty
That was the last time you've kissed me
And I don't mean a touch now and then
It's been a long time since you felt like my woman
And even longer since I felt like your man
So tell me if you think it's over
And I'll leave it up to you how it ends
And if there's someone who wants to love you can give him
Well there's a honky tonk angel who'll take me back in
We've been livin' a life for so long now
How much more do you think we can stand
There's an old friend out there and she's waiting
Lord she's happy just holding my hand
So tell me if you think it's over
And I'll leave it up to you how it ends
And if he still wants the love you can give him
Well there's a honky tonk angel who'll take me back in
Yeah there's a honky tonk angel who'll take me back in
And I don't mean a touch now and then
It's been a long time since you felt like my woman
And even longer since I felt like your man
So tell me if you think it's over
And I'll leave it up to you how it ends
And if there's someone who wants to love you can give him
Well there's a honky tonk angel who'll take me back in
We've been livin' a life for so long now
How much more do you think we can stand
There's an old friend out there and she's waiting
Lord she's happy just holding my hand
So tell me if you think it's over
And I'll leave it up to you how it ends
And if he still wants the love you can give him
Well there's a honky tonk angel who'll take me back in
Yeah there's a honky tonk angel who'll take me back in
Pop A Top lyrics - Conway Twitty
Pop a top again
I think I'll have another round
Another one my friend
Then I'll be gone
And you can let some other fool sit down.
I'd like for you to listen to a joke I heard today
From a woman who said she was through
And calmly walked away
I tried to smile and did awhile but it felt so out of place
Did you ever hear of a clown
With teardrops streaming down his face.
Pop a top again
I think I'll have another round
Another one my friend
Then I'll be gone
And you can let some other fool sit down.
All to me is misery and here I'm wasting time
'Cause a row of fools on a row of stools
Is not what's on my mind
But then you see her leaving me
Is not what I prefer
So it's either here a drinking beer
Or home rememberin' her.
Pop a top again
I think I'll have another round
Another one my friend
Then I'll be gone
And you can let some other fool sit down...
I think I'll have another round
Another one my friend
Then I'll be gone
And you can let some other fool sit down.
I'd like for you to listen to a joke I heard today
From a woman who said she was through
And calmly walked away
I tried to smile and did awhile but it felt so out of place
Did you ever hear of a clown
With teardrops streaming down his face.
Pop a top again
I think I'll have another round
Another one my friend
Then I'll be gone
And you can let some other fool sit down.
All to me is misery and here I'm wasting time
'Cause a row of fools on a row of stools
Is not what's on my mind
But then you see her leaving me
Is not what I prefer
So it's either here a drinking beer
Or home rememberin' her.
Pop a top again
I think I'll have another round
Another one my friend
Then I'll be gone
And you can let some other fool sit down...
Somewhere Just Out Of Her Mind lyrics - Conway Twitty
Somewhere lost in another world
Nowhere can I find another girl
I lost her, then lost me
How could I have been so blind
I'm somewhere just out of her mind.
I was in her eyes for a while then in her smile
I was in her heart for a time
A man that lost his way but he lost his love one day
Somewhere just out of her mind.
Somewhere lost in another world
Nowhere can I find another girl
I lost her, then lost me
How could I have been so blind
I'm somewhere just out of her mind.
Somewhere lost just out of her mind...
Nowhere can I find another girl
I lost her, then lost me
How could I have been so blind
I'm somewhere just out of her mind.
I was in her eyes for a while then in her smile
I was in her heart for a time
A man that lost his way but he lost his love one day
Somewhere just out of her mind.
Somewhere lost in another world
Nowhere can I find another girl
I lost her, then lost me
How could I have been so blind
I'm somewhere just out of her mind.
Somewhere lost just out of her mind...
Making Plans lyrics - Conway Twitty
You say tomorrow you're leaving
It's so hard for me to believe
I'm making plans for the heartaches
'Cause you're making plans to leave.
The tears for me will be falling
Like a tree shedding its leaves
I'm making plans for the teardrops
'Cause you're making plans to leave.
You're making plans to forget me
And I'm making plans to miss you
I'm gettin' ready to grieve
I'm making plans to be lonesome
'Cause you're making plans to leave
I'm making plans to be lonesome
'Cause you're making plans to leave...
It's so hard for me to believe
I'm making plans for the heartaches
'Cause you're making plans to leave.
The tears for me will be falling
Like a tree shedding its leaves
I'm making plans for the teardrops
'Cause you're making plans to leave.
You're making plans to forget me
And I'm making plans to miss you
I'm gettin' ready to grieve
I'm making plans to be lonesome
'Cause you're making plans to leave
I'm making plans to be lonesome
'Cause you're making plans to leave...
Don't Let It Go To Your Heart lyrics - Conway Twitty
So she smiled at you when you saw her today
And you're still thinking bout the things she had to say
She said leaving you was hard to do and it's sad we had to part
But don't let it go to your heart.
So she told you she thinks of you now and then
Now you're thinking she might take you back again
But it's only cause she's lonely and she's about to fall apart
So don't let it go to your heart.
'Cause I'm your heart and I can tell you
That it doesn't mean a thing
She's just like you she hangs on to a helpless hopeless dream
She's made the break and it's hard to take
As you watch her teardrops start
But don't let it go to your heart.
Cause I'm your heart...
No don't let it go to your heart and I can tell you
That it doesn't mean a thing
She's just like you she hangs on to a helpless hopeless dream
She's made the break and it's hard to take
As you watch her teardrops start
But don't let it go to your heart...
And you're still thinking bout the things she had to say
She said leaving you was hard to do and it's sad we had to part
But don't let it go to your heart.
So she told you she thinks of you now and then
Now you're thinking she might take you back again
But it's only cause she's lonely and she's about to fall apart
So don't let it go to your heart.
'Cause I'm your heart and I can tell you
That it doesn't mean a thing
She's just like you she hangs on to a helpless hopeless dream
She's made the break and it's hard to take
As you watch her teardrops start
But don't let it go to your heart.
Cause I'm your heart...
No don't let it go to your heart and I can tell you
That it doesn't mean a thing
She's just like you she hangs on to a helpless hopeless dream
She's made the break and it's hard to take
As you watch her teardrops start
But don't let it go to your heart...
Bad Seed My Daddy Sowed lyrics - Conway Twitty
I was found in Wilson County
Just a mile outside of town
On the doorsteps of two people
Who brought me up to where I am.
I was born to be a loser
And my name nobody knows
And as far as they concern
I'm just a bad seed daddy sowed.
They brough me up to the age of ten
Before they let me know
And since that day it seemed that life
Lost it's magic glow.
But they raised me right
And every night in prayer we bowed our heads
And they asked the Lord to light my path
And guide each step I made.
But the path you're walking on
Becomes a mighty rocky road
When you know that all you'll ever be
Is a bad seed daddy sowed.
At thirty one my heart was won
By a girl half my age
And with love so strong I could see no wrong
In decision that I made.
And you know I learned that there was truth
In all I always been told
Because you can't judge a book by its cover
And everything that's shinin' sure isn't gold.
Yes, I guess I'm guilty of dreaming an impossible dream
Because the way the things turned out
Sure isn't the way things seemed
And so tonight I'm leavin' behind
The only thing I ever had to call my own.
And I know as long as you live
You'll always be a reminder of all my wrongs
Could I hope that he'll forgive me
When he's old enough to know
That just like me he'll always be
The bad seed his daddy sowed...
Just a mile outside of town
On the doorsteps of two people
Who brought me up to where I am.
I was born to be a loser
And my name nobody knows
And as far as they concern
I'm just a bad seed daddy sowed.
They brough me up to the age of ten
Before they let me know
And since that day it seemed that life
Lost it's magic glow.
But they raised me right
And every night in prayer we bowed our heads
And they asked the Lord to light my path
And guide each step I made.
But the path you're walking on
Becomes a mighty rocky road
When you know that all you'll ever be
Is a bad seed daddy sowed.
At thirty one my heart was won
By a girl half my age
And with love so strong I could see no wrong
In decision that I made.
And you know I learned that there was truth
In all I always been told
Because you can't judge a book by its cover
And everything that's shinin' sure isn't gold.
Yes, I guess I'm guilty of dreaming an impossible dream
Because the way the things turned out
Sure isn't the way things seemed
And so tonight I'm leavin' behind
The only thing I ever had to call my own.
And I know as long as you live
You'll always be a reminder of all my wrongs
Could I hope that he'll forgive me
When he's old enough to know
That just like me he'll always be
The bad seed his daddy sowed...
Love Is The Foundation lyrics - Conway Twitty
I've seen her as she awakens in the morning
She reaches out her hand and without a word
As her fingers softly fall upon my face
She lights the flame of desire and makes me want her.
And love is the foundation we lean on
All you need is love to ease your mind
And does it have to be right to be called love
When she gives me more loving
Than a lifetime of looking could ever find.
And love is the foundation we lean on
All you need is love to ease your mind
And does it have to be right to be called love
When she gives me more loving
Than a lifetime of looking could ever find...
She reaches out her hand and without a word
As her fingers softly fall upon my face
She lights the flame of desire and makes me want her.
And love is the foundation we lean on
All you need is love to ease your mind
And does it have to be right to be called love
When she gives me more loving
Than a lifetime of looking could ever find.
And love is the foundation we lean on
All you need is love to ease your mind
And does it have to be right to be called love
When she gives me more loving
Than a lifetime of looking could ever find...
Pick Me Up On Your Way Down lyrics - Conway Twitty
You were mine for just a while
Now you're puttin' on the style.
And you never once looked back
At your home across the tracks.
Your the gossip of the town
But my heart can still be found
Where you tossed it on the ground.
Pick me up on your way down.
Hey, pick me up on your way down
When you're blue and all alone.
When their glamour starts to bore you
Come on back where you belong.
You may be their pride and joy
But they'll find another toy
And they'll take away your crown
Pick me up on your way down.
They have changed your attitude,
Made you haughty and so rude.
Your new friends can take the blame
But underneath you're still the same.
When you learn these things are true
I'll be waiting here for you
As you tumble to the ground,
Pick me up on your way down.
Hey, pick me up on your way down
When you're blue and all alone.
When their glamour starts to bore you
Come on back where you belong.
You may be their pride and joy
But they'll find another toy.
Then they'll take away your crown,
Pick me up on your way down...
Now you're puttin' on the style.
And you never once looked back
At your home across the tracks.
Your the gossip of the town
But my heart can still be found
Where you tossed it on the ground.
Pick me up on your way down.
Hey, pick me up on your way down
When you're blue and all alone.
When their glamour starts to bore you
Come on back where you belong.
You may be their pride and joy
But they'll find another toy
And they'll take away your crown
Pick me up on your way down.
They have changed your attitude,
Made you haughty and so rude.
Your new friends can take the blame
But underneath you're still the same.
When you learn these things are true
I'll be waiting here for you
As you tumble to the ground,
Pick me up on your way down.
Hey, pick me up on your way down
When you're blue and all alone.
When their glamour starts to bore you
Come on back where you belong.
You may be their pride and joy
But they'll find another toy.
Then they'll take away your crown,
Pick me up on your way down...
Amazing Love lyrics - Conway Twitty
When she wakes up this morning and turns to kiss me
She'll find I let her sleep 'cause we talked so late last night
She'll know I kissed her face gently till my returning
And when she finds the rose on my pillow, I know she'll smile.
Her amazing love unending
Is so much more than I am worthy of
If the rose could speak my feelings
She'd know I cherrished her amazing love.
If I call her a little late she forgives me
Her voice does not betray she's spent another day alone
She softly thanks me for the rose and says I miss you
And then I can feel her smiling on the phone.
Her amazing love unending
Is so much more than I am worthy of
If the rose could speak my feelings
She'd know I cherrished her amazing love...
She'll find I let her sleep 'cause we talked so late last night
She'll know I kissed her face gently till my returning
And when she finds the rose on my pillow, I know she'll smile.
Her amazing love unending
Is so much more than I am worthy of
If the rose could speak my feelings
She'd know I cherrished her amazing love.
If I call her a little late she forgives me
Her voice does not betray she's spent another day alone
She softly thanks me for the rose and says I miss you
And then I can feel her smiling on the phone.
Her amazing love unending
Is so much more than I am worthy of
If the rose could speak my feelings
She'd know I cherrished her amazing love...
Simply Country Girl lyrics - Conway Twitty
She was pure as mountain rain
And had never known a pain
Of what it meant to love someone that let her down
She never kissed on her first date
and ten o'clock to her was late
Then she met me and I showed her the evil ways of town.
She was everything I searched Lord
Just a simple country girl
But like a fool I destroyed all she's stood for
I made a woman of the world
From a simply country girl.
Her big day was Sunday School
She lived by the golden rule
But now she lives just to love some stranger most every night
A mountain flower in full bloom
That learned too much too soon
I made her a woman of the world from a simply country girl.
She was everything I searched Lord
Just a simple country girl
But like a fool I destroyed all she's stood for
I made a woman of the world
From a simply country girl...
And had never known a pain
Of what it meant to love someone that let her down
She never kissed on her first date
and ten o'clock to her was late
Then she met me and I showed her the evil ways of town.
She was everything I searched Lord
Just a simple country girl
But like a fool I destroyed all she's stood for
I made a woman of the world
From a simply country girl.
Her big day was Sunday School
She lived by the golden rule
But now she lives just to love some stranger most every night
A mountain flower in full bloom
That learned too much too soon
I made her a woman of the world from a simply country girl.
She was everything I searched Lord
Just a simple country girl
But like a fool I destroyed all she's stood for
I made a woman of the world
From a simply country girl...

Don't Mess Up A Good Thing lyrics - Conway Twitty
(Good thing, good thing, good thing, good thing)
Well, you been cheatin' on me
Big day you know I know it's true
But there ain't nobody in the whole wide world
Could love you like I do.

Loves Not Where Love Should Be lyrics - Conway Twitty
In the past few months all lies have changed
We no longer speak each other's name
We turned around and love was gone
We don't even know what went wrong.
We've been blinded by time
You lived your life and I lived mine
Much too late now we see
Love's not where love should be.
We worked so hard to build a home
I guess we thought that love grew on and on
If we had worked this hard on you and me
Love would be where love supposed to be.
We've been blinded by time
You lived your life and I lived mine
Much too late now we see
Love's not where love should be.
Love's not where love should be...
We no longer speak each other's name
We turned around and love was gone
We don't even know what went wrong.
We've been blinded by time
You lived your life and I lived mine
Much too late now we see
Love's not where love should be.
We worked so hard to build a home
I guess we thought that love grew on and on
If we had worked this hard on you and me
Love would be where love supposed to be.
We've been blinded by time
You lived your life and I lived mine
Much too late now we see
Love's not where love should be.
Love's not where love should be...
Two Lonely People lyrics - Conway Twitty
Darlin' where did all the time go it's two a.m. again
It's time to leave each other's arms and the lyin' to begin
The love would fill you and me with them we'll never find
We're just two lonely people in a loving frame of mind.
We're just two lonely people that need the love we found
I'm not man enough to let you go but I just can't put her down
Two lonely people the same need the same time
We're just two lonely people in a loving frame of mind.
Two lonely people with too much love too late
Too much to lose anyway we choosed to ever separate
So we'll pretend we'll love and then love would plan another time
We're just two lonely people in a loving frame of mind.
Two lonely people with too much love too late
Too much to lose anyway we choosed to ever separate
So we'll pretend we'll love and then love would plan another time
We're just two lonely people in a loving frame of mind...
It's time to leave each other's arms and the lyin' to begin
The love would fill you and me with them we'll never find
We're just two lonely people in a loving frame of mind.
We're just two lonely people that need the love we found
I'm not man enough to let you go but I just can't put her down
Two lonely people the same need the same time
We're just two lonely people in a loving frame of mind.
Two lonely people with too much love too late
Too much to lose anyway we choosed to ever separate
So we'll pretend we'll love and then love would plan another time
We're just two lonely people in a loving frame of mind.
Two lonely people with too much love too late
Too much to lose anyway we choosed to ever separate
So we'll pretend we'll love and then love would plan another time
We're just two lonely people in a loving frame of mind...
I Changed My Way lyrics - Conway Twitty
Today the thought of leaving you wandered through my mind
And all the sleeping memories that we made
I've thought about the love we knew that one day upped and died
It wasn't even strong enough to fade.
Soon as I am strong enough I pull myself away
Your little love mean long enough and hurt me anyway
Then you come to me and stay and love me
One more time I changed my mind.
I've been good and true to you but you don't even care
I'd be better off if you just turn and gone
But then I've thought of losin' you is more than I can bear
Yes I am too weak to make it on my own.
Soon as I am strong enough I pull myself away
Your little love mean long enough and hurt me anyway
Then you come to me and stay and love me
One more time I changed my mind...
I changed my mind
And all the sleeping memories that we made
I've thought about the love we knew that one day upped and died
It wasn't even strong enough to fade.
Soon as I am strong enough I pull myself away
Your little love mean long enough and hurt me anyway
Then you come to me and stay and love me
One more time I changed my mind.
I've been good and true to you but you don't even care
I'd be better off if you just turn and gone
But then I've thought of losin' you is more than I can bear
Yes I am too weak to make it on my own.
Soon as I am strong enough I pull myself away
Your little love mean long enough and hurt me anyway
Then you come to me and stay and love me
One more time I changed my mind...
I changed my mind
Country Bumpkin lyrics - Conway Twitty
He walked into the bar
And parked his lanky frame
Upon a tall bar stool
With a long soft southern drawl
Said, I'll just have a glass of anything that's cool.
A barroom girl with wise and knowing eyes
Slowly looked me up and down
And she said, I wonder how on earth
That country bumpkin found his way to town.
And she said, Hello, country bumpkin,
How's the frost out on the pumpkin.
I've seen some sights but man you're somethin',
Where'd you come from country bumpkin?
Just a short year later in a bed of joy
Filled tears and death like pain
Into this wondrous world of many wonders
Another wonder came
That same woman's face was wrapped up
In a raptured look of love and tenderness
As I marvelled at the soft and warm
And cuddly boy child feeding at her breast.
And she said, Hello, country bumpkin,
Fresh as frost out on the pumpkins
I've seen some sights but babe you're somethin',
Mommy loves her country bumpkin.
Forty years of hard work later
In a simple, quiet and peaceful country place
The heavy hand of time had not erased
The raptured wonder from my woman's face.
She was lying on her death bed
Knowing fully well her race was nearly run
But she softly smiled and looked into
The sad eyes of her husband and her son.
And I said, So long country bumpkins,
The frost is gone now from the pumpkins,
I've seem some sights and life's been somethin'
See you later country bumpkins.
See you later country bumpkins...
And parked his lanky frame
Upon a tall bar stool
With a long soft southern drawl
Said, I'll just have a glass of anything that's cool.
A barroom girl with wise and knowing eyes
Slowly looked me up and down
And she said, I wonder how on earth
That country bumpkin found his way to town.
And she said, Hello, country bumpkin,
How's the frost out on the pumpkin.
I've seen some sights but man you're somethin',
Where'd you come from country bumpkin?
Just a short year later in a bed of joy
Filled tears and death like pain
Into this wondrous world of many wonders
Another wonder came
That same woman's face was wrapped up
In a raptured look of love and tenderness
As I marvelled at the soft and warm
And cuddly boy child feeding at her breast.
And she said, Hello, country bumpkin,
Fresh as frost out on the pumpkins
I've seen some sights but babe you're somethin',
Mommy loves her country bumpkin.
Forty years of hard work later
In a simple, quiet and peaceful country place
The heavy hand of time had not erased
The raptured wonder from my woman's face.
She was lying on her death bed
Knowing fully well her race was nearly run
But she softly smiled and looked into
The sad eyes of her husband and her son.
And I said, So long country bumpkins,
The frost is gone now from the pumpkins,
I've seem some sights and life's been somethin'
See you later country bumpkins.
See you later country bumpkins...
Spiders And Snakes lyrics - Conway Twitty
I remember when Loretta Lynn said ,
You want to walk me home again
And I said, mhm yes I do.
And she said, Well I don't want to go right home
And I'm the kind that don't want to be alone
If you would I would too.
Ha, ha and so we took a stroll
And wound down by a swimmin' hole
And she said do what you wonna do, I don't care
Mhm, I got silly and I found me a frog
In the water by a holler log
And I said Loretta this frog's for you.
I don't like spiders and snakes
And that ain't what it takes
To love me like I want you to
I don't like spiders and snakes
and that ain't what it takes to love me
Like I wanna be loved by you.
Well, I think of that girl from time to time
And I phone up when I got me dime
And I say, Hello baby, ain't you cool
Ha, ha she said, Do you remember when
And you like to get together again
If you do hey, I see I'm just cool.
Ha, ha Well I am shy and so for awhile
Most of my lovin' was tough and smile
Till she said come on over here, I don't care
Mhm mhm I would never say you might guess
Still lookin' for somethin' but a sneak out of dress
And she said... ha ha ha.
Yeah, I don't like spiders and snakes
And that ain't what it takes
To love me like I want you to
I don't like spiders and snakes
and that ain't what it takes to love me
Like I wanna be loved by you...
You want to walk me home again
And I said, mhm yes I do.
And she said, Well I don't want to go right home
And I'm the kind that don't want to be alone
If you would I would too.
Ha, ha and so we took a stroll
And wound down by a swimmin' hole
And she said do what you wonna do, I don't care
Mhm, I got silly and I found me a frog
In the water by a holler log
And I said Loretta this frog's for you.
I don't like spiders and snakes
And that ain't what it takes
To love me like I want you to
I don't like spiders and snakes
and that ain't what it takes to love me
Like I wanna be loved by you.
Well, I think of that girl from time to time
And I phone up when I got me dime
And I say, Hello baby, ain't you cool

I'm Gettin' Tired Of Losing You lyrics - Conway Twitty
Well, here you are again just like
So many times before down on your knees
You make a promise just like you've made
And never kept before to me.
You're tellin' me you're sorry
for the things you say you didn't mean to do
But old friend you'd better make it
because I'm gettin' tired of losing you.
I've lost you to the booze and bars
and uptown girls a dozen times before
For years I've tried to fake it
but I ain't a gonna take it anymore.
Though I hoped that you'll rehearse your line
You're gonna say and pray it will come true
'Cause there won't be no next time
buddy I'm gettin' tired of losing you.
But darling please please don't leave me
I know I did you wrong before
just like you said I would.
Oh darling please please believe me
If you'll take me back just one more time
I promise I'll be good.
Well, here you are again just like
So many times before down on your knees
You make a promise just like you've made
And never kept before to me...
So many times before down on your knees
You make a promise just like you've made
And never kept before to me.
You're tellin' me you're sorry
for the things you say you didn't mean to do
But old friend you'd better make it
because I'm gettin' tired of losing you.
I've lost you to the booze and bars
and uptown girls a dozen times before
For years I've tried to fake it
but I ain't a gonna take it anymore.
Though I hoped that you'll rehearse your line
You're gonna say and pray it will come true
'Cause there won't be no next time
buddy I'm gettin' tired of losing you.
But darling please please don't leave me
I know I did you wrong before
just like you said I would.
Oh darling please please believe me
If you'll take me back just one more time
I promise I'll be good.
Well, here you are again just like
So many times before down on your knees
You make a promise just like you've made
And never kept before to me...
Sweet Things I Remember About You lyrics - Conway Twitty
The softness of your warm red lips
The gentle touch of your fingertips
Are just sweet things I remember about you
That happy look deep in your eyes
The way you kiss and the way you sigh
Are just sweet things I remember about you.
I could tell you a million things you do
That haunt me night and day
For I get so lonely darling every moment you're away
The way you smoke your cigarette
The way I tingled when we first met
Are just just sweet things I remember about you.
I could tell you a million things you do
That haunt me night and day
For I get so lonely darling every moment you're away
The way you smoke your cigarette
The way I tingled when we first met
Are just just sweet things I remember about you...
The gentle touch of your fingertips
Are just sweet things I remember about you
That happy look deep in your eyes
The way you kiss and the way you sigh
Are just sweet things I remember about you.
I could tell you a million things you do
That haunt me night and day
For I get so lonely darling every moment you're away
The way you smoke your cigarette
The way I tingled when we first met
Are just just sweet things I remember about you.
I could tell you a million things you do
That haunt me night and day
For I get so lonely darling every moment you're away
The way you smoke your cigarette
The way I tingled when we first met
Are just just sweet things I remember about you...
It All Falls Down lyrics - Conway Twitty
Yes, it falls down
Everytime we build it up
It all falls down.
When we first fell in love the sun shined bright above
And everything we ever did was right
Love was all we ever knew clouds above were always blue
And all the time we never had a fight.
But time together made a change
The love we have is not the same
It seems that we keep goin' round and round.
We try so hard to build our love
And make it just the way it was
But everytime we build it up
It all falls down.
Yes, it falls down
Our love gets halfway to heaven then falls to the ground
Yes, it falls down.
It's so hard to make love strong
With one day right and two days wrong
And everytime we build it up
It all falls down.
Yes, it falls down
Everytime we build it up
It all falls down...
Everytime we build it up
It all falls down.
When we first fell in love the sun shined bright above
And everything we ever did was right
Love was all we ever knew clouds above were always blue
And all the time we never had a fight.
But time together made a change
The love we have is not the same
It seems that we keep goin' round and round.
We try so hard to build our love
And make it just the way it was
But everytime we build it up
It all falls down.
Yes, it falls down
Our love gets halfway to heaven then falls to the ground
Yes, it falls down.
It's so hard to make love strong
With one day right and two days wrong
And everytime we build it up
It all falls down.
Yes, it falls down
Everytime we build it up
It all falls down...
Lifetime Before lyrics - Conway Twitty
We've lived more in a short time together
Than we've lived in a lifetime before
And this feeling that's burning inside me
Is a thing of the future in store.
The short time we've spent together
Oh, the love we give each other
Is more than most people see in the lifetime
You're all I ever live for.
Oh, no one could ever give more
I can't see me without you
Nowhere in my mind.
We've lived more in a short time together
Than we've lived in a lifetime before
And this feeling that's burning inside me
Is a thing of the future in store...
Than we've lived in a lifetime before
And this feeling that's burning inside me
Is a thing of the future in store.
The short time we've spent together
Oh, the love we give each other
Is more than most people see in the lifetime
You're all I ever live for.
Oh, no one could ever give more
I can't see me without you
Nowhere in my mind.
We've lived more in a short time together
Than we've lived in a lifetime before
And this feeling that's burning inside me
Is a thing of the future in store...
Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man lyrics - Conway Twitty
[Conway Twitty:]
Hey, Louisiana woman
[Loretta Lynn:]
Mississippi man
[Both:]
We get together every time we can
The Mississippi River can't keep us apart
[Conway Twitty:]
There's too much love in this Mississippi heart
[Loretta Lynn:]
Too much love in this Louisiana heart
[Conway Twitty:]
See the alligators all a waitin' nearby
Sooner or later, they know I'm gonna try
When she waved from the bank
Don't you know I know
It's a-goodbye fishin' line, see you while I go
With a Louisiana woman waitin' on the other side
The Mississippi River don't look so wide
[Conway Twitty:]

Too much love in this Louisiana heart
[Loretta Lynn:]
Well, I thought I'd been loved, but I never had
'Til I was wrapped in the arms of a Mississippi man
When he holds me close, it feels almost
Like another hurricane just ripped the coast
If he can't come to me, I'm gonna go to him
That Mississippi River, Lord, I'm gonna swim

Gotta have your lovin' one more time
[Conway Twitty:]
I'm gonna jump in the river and here I go
Too bad, alligator, you swim too slow

For Heaven's Sake lyrics - Conway Twitty
We thought the baby was the answer to keep us happy in our world
Our prayers were answered with the darling baby girl
And we named her Heaven but a child's not all it takes
But I'll stay, and I'll stay for heaven's sake.
You often send me roses and kiss me when you leave home
And you pick out my shirt and tie, like nothing's ever wrong
But we're only fooling heaven, we can't make a mistake
I won't leave you, I'll see it through for heaven's sake.
Christmas trees and make believe for heaven's sake
Ginger mint and let's pretent, if that's what it takes
Evening prayers and pigtails, teddy bears
And wishing wells for heaven's sake.
Rollers case and skinned up knee and dirty face
I kiss her hurt until her tears are all erased
Baby dolls and your high heels,
Lollipops before her meal for heaven's sake...
Our prayers were answered with the darling baby girl
And we named her Heaven but a child's not all it takes
But I'll stay, and I'll stay for heaven's sake.
You often send me roses and kiss me when you leave home
And you pick out my shirt and tie, like nothing's ever wrong
But we're only fooling heaven, we can't make a mistake
I won't leave you, I'll see it through for heaven's sake.
Christmas trees and make believe for heaven's sake
Ginger mint and let's pretent, if that's what it takes
Evening prayers and pigtails, teddy bears
And wishing wells for heaven's sake.
Rollers case and skinned up knee and dirty face
I kiss her hurt until her tears are all erased
Baby dolls and your high heels,
Lollipops before her meal for heaven's sake...
Release Me lyrics - Conway Twitty
[Loretta:]
Release me darlin', let me go.
I don't love you anymore.
To live together is a sin.
Release me and let me love again.
[Conway:]
Oh, I have found a new love dear.
And I'll always want her near.
Her lips are warm while yours are cold.
Release me, darling, let me go.
[Both:]
Please release me, let me go.
I don't love you anymore.
To live together is a sin.
Release me and let me love again.
Please release me, let me go.
I don't love you anymore.
To live together is a sin.
Release me and let me love again...
Release me darlin', let me go.
I don't love you anymore.
To live together is a sin.
Release me and let me love again.
[Conway:]
Oh, I have found a new love dear.
And I'll always want her near.
Her lips are warm while yours are cold.
Release me, darling, let me go.
[Both:]
Please release me, let me go.
I don't love you anymore.
To live together is a sin.
Release me and let me love again.
Please release me, let me go.
I don't love you anymore.
To live together is a sin.
Release me and let me love again...
You Lay So Easy On My Mind lyrics - Conway twitty
You lay so easy on my mind
Oh, so easy on my mind
Whenever I need you
All I have to do is close my eyes.
You lay so easy on my mind
Oh, so easy on my mind.
Wrap me in your warmness,
And let me feel your body close to mine.
Everything you say and do
Finds me wanting more of you.
And each moment
Brings to life a million dreams.
Heavens something real
Yes, its something I can feel
When I feel your angel touch
All over me.
You lay so easy on my mind
Oh, so easy on my mind
Oh, there's not a part of me
Your sweet love don't reach to satisfy.
Every day I need you more,
You're the one I'm livin' for
And the best you'll give
You've given me.
You completely satisfy
Every need I have inside
And I pray you'll never take
Your love from me.
You lay so easy on my mind
Oh, so easy on my mind
Oh, there's not a part of me
Your sweet love don't reach to satisfy.
Oh, there's not a part of me
Your sweet love don't reach to satisfy...
Oh, so easy on my mind
Whenever I need you
All I have to do is close my eyes.
You lay so easy on my mind
Oh, so easy on my mind.
Wrap me in your warmness,
And let me feel your body close to mine.
Everything you say and do
Finds me wanting more of you.
And each moment
Brings to life a million dreams.
Heavens something real
Yes, its something I can feel
When I feel your angel touch
All over me.
You lay so easy on my mind
Oh, so easy on my mind
Oh, there's not a part of me
Your sweet love don't reach to satisfy.
Every day I need you more,
You're the one I'm livin' for
And the best you'll give
You've given me.
You completely satisfy
Every need I have inside
And I pray you'll never take
Your love from me.
You lay so easy on my mind
Oh, so easy on my mind
Oh, there's not a part of me
Your sweet love don't reach to satisfy.
Oh, there's not a part of me
Your sweet love don't reach to satisfy...
Our Conscience You And Me lyrics - Conway Twitty
Ah, your warm lips are inviting as they tremble with desire
And everytime I see you it adds more fuel to the fire
And again we'll share the love that's shouldn't be
Just between the three of us our conscience you and me.
But our patiences are stronger then the will to do what's right
While someone else waits at home we'll meet again tonight
Then I'll hold you close and love you tenderly
Just between the three of us our conscience you and me.
While hiding in the shadows our love blooms at night
Though we know it's wrong we still go on
We've lost control of all that's right
But if the love's so strong this wrong, why should it be
Just between the three of us, our conscience, you and me...
And everytime I see you it adds more fuel to the fire
And again we'll share the love that's shouldn't be
Just between the three of us our conscience you and me.
But our patiences are stronger then the will to do what's right
While someone else waits at home we'll meet again tonight
Then I'll hold you close and love you tenderly
Just between the three of us our conscience you and me.
While hiding in the shadows our love blooms at night
Though we know it's wrong we still go on
We've lost control of all that's right
But if the love's so strong this wrong, why should it be
Just between the three of us, our conscience, you and me...
As Good As A Lonely Girl Can Be lyrics - Conway Twitty
Tell me darling have I been away too long
I was wrong to leave but now I'm coming home
Have you missed me, I kind of hope you would
And jokingly I ask are you being good.
I'm being good as lonely girl can be
And there's no other place on earth I'd rather be
To lie here beside him oh Lord how sweet love can be
I'm being good as lonely girl can be.
It was just too much for me I should've known
You were just too much a woman to me alone
I just realized I love you much too late
And Lord it's killing me to hear you say.
I'm being good as lonely girl can be
And there's no other place on earth I'd rather be
To lie here beside him oh Lord how sweet love can be
I'm being good as lonely girl can be.
Tell me darling, have I been away too long
I know I was wrong to leave but now all I wanna do
Is come back home
You're just too much to me I know I should've known
You were just too much woman for me to leave alone...
I was wrong to leave but now I'm coming home
Have you missed me, I kind of hope you would
And jokingly I ask are you being good.
I'm being good as lonely girl can be
And there's no other place on earth I'd rather be
To lie here beside him oh Lord how sweet love can be
I'm being good as lonely girl can be.
It was just too much for me I should've known
You were just too much a woman to me alone
I just realized I love you much too late
And Lord it's killing me to hear you say.
I'm being good as lonely girl can be
And there's no other place on earth I'd rather be
To lie here beside him oh Lord how sweet love can be
I'm being good as lonely girl can be.
Tell me darling, have I been away too long
I know I was wrong to leave but now all I wanna do
Is come back home
You're just too much to me I know I should've known
You were just too much woman for me to leave alone...
Bye Bye Love lyrics - Conway Twitty
Bye bye love, bye bye happiness
Hello loneliness, I think I'm a gonna cry.
Bye bye my love bye bye.
There goes my baby
With someone new
She sure looks happy
And I sure am blue.
She was my baby
Till he stepped in
Goodbye to romance
That might have been.
Bye bye love, bye bye happiness
Hello loneliness, I think I'm a gonna cry.
Bye bye love, bye bye sweet caress
Hello emptiness, I feel like I could die.
Bye bye my love, bye bye.
Well, I'm through with you Conway

And here's the reason that I'm so free
My lovin' baby is through with me.
Bye bye love, bye bye happiness
Hello loneliness, I think I'm a gonna cry.

And I sure am blue.
She was my baby
Till he stepped in
Goodbye to romance
That might have been.
Bye bye love, bye bye happiness
Hello loneliness, I think I'm a gonna cry.
Bye bye love, bye bye sweet caress
Hello emptiness, I feel like I could die.
Bye bye my love, bye bye.
Well, I'm through with you Conway

And here's the reason that I'm so free

Hello loneliness, I think I'm a gonna cry.
Bye bye love, bye bye sweet caress
Hello emptiness, I feel like I could die.
Bye bye my love, bye bye...
Living Together Alone lyrics - Conway Twitty
I can't believe the life we live
Or the love that we can't give to each other
I only know my dreams are gone
And that you've been carrying on with another.
That won't let us stop it
We're too blind to drop it
So we still go on
Living together alone.
Oh, I don't know how long we'll survive
Living here where love has died it's a wonder
Loneliness surrounds this house now
We'll get by, I don't how we're together.
A house that's dividing will tumble to the ground
And yet we still go on living together alone
And yet we still go on living together alone...
Or the love that we can't give to each other
I only know my dreams are gone
And that you've been carrying on with another.
That won't let us stop it
We're too blind to drop it
So we still go on
Living together alone.
Oh, I don't know how long we'll survive
Living here where love has died it's a wonder
Loneliness surrounds this house now
We'll get by, I don't how we're together.
A house that's dividing will tumble to the ground
And yet we still go on living together alone
And yet we still go on living together alone...
What Are We Gonna Do About Us lyrics - Conway Twitty
I do my best to shield her from the hurt I'm finding now
And I try hard not to give him reason to die
We'd play our part so well we still have the love in trust
Oh, what are we gonna do about us?
Us, two people that were meant for each other
Us, a happiness we found
Us, the reason for the chance we are taking
Oh, what are we gonna do about us?
I tell her I miss her when I'm away from home
And he thinks I get lonely when he leaves me alone
The moments we steal soon won't be enough
Oh, what are we gonna do about us?
Us. two people that were meant for each other
Us, a happiness we found
Us, the reason for the chance we are taking
Oh, what are we gonna do about us?...
And I try hard not to give him reason to die
We'd play our part so well we still have the love in trust
Oh, what are we gonna do about us?
Us, two people that were meant for each other
Us, a happiness we found
Us, the reason for the chance we are taking
Oh, what are we gonna do about us?
I tell her I miss her when I'm away from home
And he thinks I get lonely when he leaves me alone
The moments we steal soon won't be enough
Oh, what are we gonna do about us?
Us. two people that were meant for each other
Us, a happiness we found
Us, the reason for the chance we are taking
Oh, what are we gonna do about us?...
If You Touch Me lyrics - Conway Twitty
Well, she packed my bags and kicked me out
When we were havin' bad times
Looking back I can see it was over nothin'
Since then there's been too much red wine
And women messin' up my mind.
But nothin' can compare with baby's lovin'
At two o'clock this mornin' I made up my mind
I'm gonna go back home to my sweet baby
I'm lookin' though the window at the city for the last time.
Lord knows this life, it'll drive me crazy
Well, I walked out on the highway caught a semi headed home
I hope she'll take me back oh Lord I'm prayin'
Now I'm standin' at the front door hopin' I'll find her all alone.
Then I heard her sweet voice sayin'
And she said if you touch me you've got to love me
And if you love me you'll have to stay with me forever
And I'll forgive you and love will be like it should be.
So if you touch me you've got to love me.
If you touch me you've got to love me...
When we were havin' bad times
Looking back I can see it was over nothin'
Since then there's been too much red wine
And women messin' up my mind.
But nothin' can compare with baby's lovin'
At two o'clock this mornin' I made up my mind
I'm gonna go back home to my sweet baby
I'm lookin' though the window at the city for the last time.
Lord knows this life, it'll drive me crazy
Well, I walked out on the highway caught a semi headed home
I hope she'll take me back oh Lord I'm prayin'
Now I'm standin' at the front door hopin' I'll find her all alone.
Then I heard her sweet voice sayin'
And she said if you touch me you've got to love me
And if you love me you'll have to stay with me forever
And I'll forgive you and love will be like it should be.
So if you touch me you've got to love me.
If you touch me you've got to love me...
Before Your Time lyrics - Conway Twitty
Other arms have held me before your time
Other lips have thrilled me before your time
Other eyes have seen the light
You see in my eyes tonight.
Oh, but darling, that was long before your time
Other hearts have been broken before your time
Unkind words were spoken before your time
Other ears have heard me
Say the things I say to you today
But darling that was long before your time.
Before you came along I sang this same old song before
The melody was born when we walk right through love's door
The words I love you came but I just couldn't sing that line
Oh, but darling, that was long before your time.
Before you came along I sang this same old song before
The melody was born when we walk right through love's door
The words I love you came but I just couldn't sing that line
Oh, but darling, that was long before your time...
Other lips have thrilled me before your time
Other eyes have seen the light
You see in my eyes tonight.
Oh, but darling, that was long before your time
Other hearts have been broken before your time
Unkind words were spoken before your time
Other ears have heard me
Say the things I say to you today
But darling that was long before your time.
Before you came along I sang this same old song before
The melody was born when we walk right through love's door
The words I love you came but I just couldn't sing that line
Oh, but darling, that was long before your time.
Before you came along I sang this same old song before
The melody was born when we walk right through love's door
The words I love you came but I just couldn't sing that line
Oh, but darling, that was long before your time...
Clinging To A Saving Hand lyrics - Conway Twitty
Sing me a song of praise and glory
Help this wandering child to understand.
That when I close my eyes in sleep eternal
I'll be clinging to a saving hand.
I want you to sing to me about the rock of ages,
And sing about eternity so sweet.
So that when I take my last breath of life
I'll awaken at my saviour's feet.
I want you to tell me about Paul and Matthew
And sing about my dear saviour's birth
And tell about his trials and tribulations.
While he walked upon his heathen Earth.
Come on and sing me a song of praise and glory
Help this wandering child to understand.
That when I close my eyes in sleep eternal
I'll be clinging to a saving hand.
I'll be clinging to a saving hand...
Help this wandering child to understand.
That when I close my eyes in sleep eternal
I'll be clinging to a saving hand.
I want you to sing to me about the rock of ages,
And sing about eternity so sweet.
So that when I take my last breath of life
I'll awaken at my saviour's feet.
I want you to tell me about Paul and Matthew
And sing about my dear saviour's birth
And tell about his trials and tribulations.
While he walked upon his heathen Earth.
Come on and sing me a song of praise and glory
Help this wandering child to understand.
That when I close my eyes in sleep eternal
I'll be clinging to a saving hand.
I'll be clinging to a saving hand...
Suppertime lyrics - Conway Twitty
Many years ago in days of childhood
I used to play till evenin' shadows come
Then windin' down that old familiar pathway
I heard my mother call at set of sun.
Come home, come home it's suppertime
The shadows lengthen fast
Come home, come home it's suppertime
We're going home at last.
Some of the fondest memories of my childhood
Were woven around suppertime
When my mother used to call
From the backsteps of the old homeplace
Come on home now son it's suppertime.
Ahhhh, but I'd loved to hear that once more
But you know for me time has woven the realization of
The truth that's even more thrilling and that's when
The call come up from the portals of glory
To come home for it's suppertime when all
Gods children shall gather around the table of the Lord
Himself and the greatest suppertime of them all.
Come home, come home it's suppertime
The shadows lengthen fast
Come home, come home it's suppertime
We're going home at last...
I used to play till evenin' shadows come
Then windin' down that old familiar pathway
I heard my mother call at set of sun.
Come home, come home it's suppertime
The shadows lengthen fast
Come home, come home it's suppertime
We're going home at last.
Some of the fondest memories of my childhood
Were woven around suppertime
When my mother used to call
From the backsteps of the old homeplace
Come on home now son it's suppertime.
Ahhhh, but I'd loved to hear that once more
But you know for me time has woven the realization of
The truth that's even more thrilling and that's when
The call come up from the portals of glory
To come home for it's suppertime when all
Gods children shall gather around the table of the Lord
Himself and the greatest suppertime of them all.
Come home, come home it's suppertime
The shadows lengthen fast
Come home, come home it's suppertime
We're going home at last...
Third Man lyrics - Conway Twitty
Last night I dreamed I took a walk up Calvary's lonely hill
The things I saw with my own eyes could not have been more real
I saw upon three crosses three men in agony
Two cried out for mercy and the third man he looked at me
And oh the hurt in this man's eyes that just broke my heart in two
It seemed I could hear him say son I'm doing this for you
I knelt beneath the third mean's cross and slowly bowed my head
I reached out to touch his feet and it stained my hand's with red
And when I heard him cry in pain I raised my eyes to see
The blood spilled from the third man's side and some of it spilled on me
The third man wore a crown of thorns spikes held him to the tree
And I heard him say oh my God my God why hast Thou forsaken me
And there within a mighty crowd the ones who mocked him cried
King save Thyself if thou art King and then the third man died
Suddenly I heard the thunder roll I saw the lightening pierce the sky
The third man was still hanging there and I began to cry
I saw the boulders fall and heard the breaking of the ground
Then I awoke and though I dreamed I touched my cheek and found
My eyes were wet where I had cried a dream I wished I knew
I still can hear the third man say I'm doing this for you
The things I saw with my own eyes could not have been more real
I saw upon three crosses three men in agony
Two cried out for mercy and the third man he looked at me
And oh the hurt in this man's eyes that just broke my heart in two
It seemed I could hear him say son I'm doing this for you
I knelt beneath the third mean's cross and slowly bowed my head
I reached out to touch his feet and it stained my hand's with red
And when I heard him cry in pain I raised my eyes to see
The blood spilled from the third man's side and some of it spilled on me
The third man wore a crown of thorns spikes held him to the tree
And I heard him say oh my God my God why hast Thou forsaken me
And there within a mighty crowd the ones who mocked him cried
King save Thyself if thou art King and then the third man died
Suddenly I heard the thunder roll I saw the lightening pierce the sky
The third man was still hanging there and I began to cry
I saw the boulders fall and heard the breaking of the ground
Then I awoke and though I dreamed I touched my cheek and found
My eyes were wet where I had cried a dream I wished I knew
I still can hear the third man say I'm doing this for you
Big Man Above lyrics - Conway Twitty
Sometimes in life we ought to think twice
About the people that we step on
Better show our worth while here on earth
For soon the chance is gone
Don't gossip about your neighbor
We gotta show more love
One of these days we're gonna stand
Before that big man above
I gotta help your neighbor show more love
Lend a hand, don't push and shove
One of these days we're gonna stand
Before that big man above
Life is but a vapor
It's here and then it's gone
What we build in heaven
Will be there from now on
But things we gather here on earth
Will soon decay and rust
One of these days we're gonna stand
Before that big man above
Gotta help your neighbor show more love
Lend a hand, don't push and shove
One of these days we're gonna stand
Before that big man above
One of these days we're gonna stand
Before that big man above
About the people that we step on
Better show our worth while here on earth
For soon the chance is gone
Don't gossip about your neighbor
We gotta show more love
One of these days we're gonna stand
Before that big man above
I gotta help your neighbor show more love
Lend a hand, don't push and shove
One of these days we're gonna stand
Before that big man above
Life is but a vapor
It's here and then it's gone
What we build in heaven
Will be there from now on
But things we gather here on earth
Will soon decay and rust
One of these days we're gonna stand
Before that big man above
Gotta help your neighbor show more love
Lend a hand, don't push and shove
One of these days we're gonna stand
Before that big man above
One of these days we're gonna stand
Before that big man above
In Loving Memories lyrics - Conway Twitty
I stand here so silent with a blank look on my face
As you lay there dressed in a pure white lace
With my head bowed low Lord the tears are streaming down
I can hear that old preacher man say
In loving memories we gather in loving memories we gather on this sad day
In loving memories forever until we'll meet beyond the shining river
Pretty flowers I'll plant around you and a white fence will surround you
On your marker words of love I'll enscribe
And though in death were apart you know you'll always be in my heart
And it won't be long till I'll be by your side
In loving memories we gather in loving memories we gather on this sad day...
As you lay there dressed in a pure white lace
With my head bowed low Lord the tears are streaming down
I can hear that old preacher man say
In loving memories we gather in loving memories we gather on this sad day
In loving memories forever until we'll meet beyond the shining river
Pretty flowers I'll plant around you and a white fence will surround you
On your marker words of love I'll enscribe
And though in death were apart you know you'll always be in my heart
And it won't be long till I'll be by your side
In loving memories we gather in loving memories we gather on this sad day...
Me And My Neighbor lyrics - Conway Twitty
I was on my way to church one Sunday
I heard my neighbor say,
That other church across the street
Well, it don't belong today.
Why, they scream and shout and they carry on
Like the world was gonna end
And I watched him stand in silence
As the sermon began.
Well, it was my neighbor,
Who stood and listened
While the power of God
Filled the hearts of everyone.
Yes, it was my neighbor
Who kneeled and prayed
Well, it was my neighbor
That shouted louder than anyone.
Well, I stood there and listened,
I could not turn away
Everybody in the neighborhood
All came in to pray.
I won't forget that Sunday
When God filled the neighborhood
It might have been a little old fashioned
But it done us all some good.
Well, it was me and my neighbor,
Who stood and listened
While the power of god
Filled the hearts of everyone.
Yes, it was me and my neighbor
That kneeled and prayed
Well, it was me and my neighbor
That shouted louder than anyone.
Give me that old time religion;
give me that old time religion,
Give me that old time religion,
Its good enough for me.
Give me that old time religion;
give me that old time religion,
Give me that old time religion,
Oh, its good enough for me.
Give me that old time religion;
give me that old time religion,
Give me that old time religion;
Give me that old time religion...
I heard my neighbor say,
That other church across the street
Well, it don't belong today.
Why, they scream and shout and they carry on
Like the world was gonna end
And I watched him stand in silence
As the sermon began.
Well, it was my neighbor,
Who stood and listened
While the power of God
Filled the hearts of everyone.
Yes, it was my neighbor
Who kneeled and prayed
Well, it was my neighbor
That shouted louder than anyone.
Well, I stood there and listened,
I could not turn away
Everybody in the neighborhood
All came in to pray.
I won't forget that Sunday
When God filled the neighborhood
It might have been a little old fashioned
But it done us all some good.
Well, it was me and my neighbor,
Who stood and listened
While the power of god
Filled the hearts of everyone.
Yes, it was me and my neighbor
That kneeled and prayed
Well, it was me and my neighbor
That shouted louder than anyone.
Give me that old time religion;
give me that old time religion,
Give me that old time religion,
Its good enough for me.
Give me that old time religion;
give me that old time religion,
Give me that old time religion,
Oh, its good enough for me.
Give me that old time religion;
give me that old time religion,
Give me that old time religion;
Give me that old time religion...
Steal Away lyrics - Conway Twitty
Steal away steal away steal away to Jesus
Steal away steal away home I ain't got long to stay here
I was walkin' in Savannah passed the church decayed and dimmed
When there slowly through the window came a plaintive funeral hymn
And a sympathy awakened and a wonder quickly grew
Till I found myself environed in a little negro pew
Out at front a young couple sat in sorrow and nearly wild
On the altar was a coffin and in the coffin was a child
Rows of sad old negro preacher at a little wooden desk
With a manner grandly offered in the countless grotesque
And he said now don't be weepin' for this pretty bit of clay
For the little boy who lived there why he done up and run away
But he is doin' very finly and he appreaciated your love
But he's sure enough father want him in the large house up above
Now he didn't give you that baby no not by a hundred thousand miles
He just thought you need some sunshine and he lend it to you for awhile
And he let you love and keep till your hearts was bigger grown
And these silver tears you've shed why they're just interest on the lawn
So my poor dejected mourners let your hearts with Jesus rest
And don't go criticize no one that knows the best
He give us many comforts and he has the right to take away
To the Lord be praised in glory now and ever let us pray
My Lord calls me he calls me by the thunder the trumpet sounds within my soul
I ain't got long to stay here
Steal away steal away home I ain't got long to stay here
I was walkin' in Savannah passed the church decayed and dimmed
When there slowly through the window came a plaintive funeral hymn
And a sympathy awakened and a wonder quickly grew
Till I found myself environed in a little negro pew
Out at front a young couple sat in sorrow and nearly wild
On the altar was a coffin and in the coffin was a child
Rows of sad old negro preacher at a little wooden desk
With a manner grandly offered in the countless grotesque
And he said now don't be weepin' for this pretty bit of clay
For the little boy who lived there why he done up and run away
But he is doin' very finly and he appreaciated your love
But he's sure enough father want him in the large house up above
Now he didn't give you that baby no not by a hundred thousand miles
He just thought you need some sunshine and he lend it to you for awhile
And he let you love and keep till your hearts was bigger grown
And these silver tears you've shed why they're just interest on the lawn
So my poor dejected mourners let your hearts with Jesus rest
And don't go criticize no one that knows the best
He give us many comforts and he has the right to take away
To the Lord be praised in glory now and ever let us pray
My Lord calls me he calls me by the thunder the trumpet sounds within my soul
I ain't got long to stay here
Lead Us Back To Love lyrics - Conway Twitty
Lord Jesus you gotta get us all back together
And lead us back to the top of Calvary once again
Show us where your blood spilled and first made love grow
Cause we turned our backs on your love a long time ago
I see people walkin' the streets with hate in their eyes
We've all turned you off Lord and let your memory die
We're like the men who drove nails in your hands
Confusion lives in every woman and man
Cause somewhere along the way we crucified love
Will it take a miracle to wash the years of doubt from my mind
Or could we just accept this stranger Jesus one more time
Will he have to get back on the cross and bleed
So once again we would believe
And find the love we turned our backs on a long time ago
Oh Jesus you gotta get us all back together...
And lead us back to the top of Calvary once again
Show us where your blood spilled and first made love grow
Cause we turned our backs on your love a long time ago
I see people walkin' the streets with hate in their eyes
We've all turned you off Lord and let your memory die
We're like the men who drove nails in your hands
Confusion lives in every woman and man
Cause somewhere along the way we crucified love
Will it take a miracle to wash the years of doubt from my mind
Or could we just accept this stranger Jesus one more time
Will he have to get back on the cross and bleed
So once again we would believe
And find the love we turned our backs on a long time ago
Oh Jesus you gotta get us all back together...
Who Will Pray For Me lyrics - Conway Twitty
My rough and rowdy ways
Have kept me from his grace
But there's hope for me
'Cause momma's faith is strong
She's the only hope I've got
To keep me in touch with God.
But who'll pray for me when momma's gone?
Who'll pray for me when momma's gone?
Who'll ask his forgiveness from then on?
Who'll care enough to talk to God?
When her pleading voice has stopped
Who'll pray for me when momma's gone?
I guess I'm just too weak
To fall down on my knees
And talk to God
Like a man on my own
He knows who I am
She mentions me to him
But who'll pray for me when momma's gone?
Who'll pray for me when momma's gone?
Who'll ask his forgiveness from then on?
Who'll care enough to talk to God?
When her pleading voice has stopped
Who'll pray for me when momma's gone?
Who'll pray for me when momma's gone?..
Have kept me from his grace
But there's hope for me
'Cause momma's faith is strong
She's the only hope I've got
To keep me in touch with God.
But who'll pray for me when momma's gone?
Who'll pray for me when momma's gone?
Who'll ask his forgiveness from then on?
Who'll care enough to talk to God?
When her pleading voice has stopped
Who'll pray for me when momma's gone?
I guess I'm just too weak
To fall down on my knees
And talk to God
Like a man on my own
He knows who I am
She mentions me to him
But who'll pray for me when momma's gone?
Who'll pray for me when momma's gone?
Who'll ask his forgiveness from then on?
Who'll care enough to talk to God?
When her pleading voice has stopped
Who'll pray for me when momma's gone?
Who'll pray for me when momma's gone?..
Jesus Is A Soul Man lyrics - Conway Twitty
Jesus is a soul man,
Jesus is a soul man,
Jesus is a soul man,
And I'm sure sold on Him.
Oh, they say that He's a square,
That Jesus, He ain't nowhere.
I know better, He lives in my heart.
Jesus is a soul man.
You can find Him in the Bible pages.
Jesus, He's the rock of ages.
Hides me in the cleft of the rock.
Jesus is a soul man.
Jesus is a soul man,
Jesus is a soul man,
Jesus is a soul man,
And I'm sure sold on Him.
He calms the waves when the storm is ragin'.
Keeps me safe when the devil's ravin'.
He's my staff, He's my sword and my shield.
Jesus is a soul man.
Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego,
The king, he said, In the fire you must go.
He found out that the fire wouldn't burn 'em.
They were saved by the soul man.
Jesus is a soul man,
Jesus is a soul man,
Jesus is a soul man,
And I'm sure sold on Him.

If We Want Love To Last lyrics - Conway Twitty
Everybody I know is a looking for love but they don't know how they give it
Everybody is a looking for more out of life but they don't know how they live it
Like everything else if we don't return it the love's gonna run out fast
We gotta puttin' more in than we take out if we want love to last
Well if it don't rain we might go to church to put in a dollar bill
Shake the precher's hand and ask him for dinner but really hope he never will
Then we wonder why we don't get ahead as life keeps up passin' us by
We keep a looking for things that we can't find and keep on wondering why
Everybody I know is a looking for love but they don't know how they give it...
Well we can't afford just to take a little time to help a poor soul in need
We do just enough to heed our conscience in the world of hate and greed
What we needed for love was the cause of the color of the mam we walk right past
We gotta puttin' more in than we take out if we want love to last
Everybody I know is a looking for love but they don't know how they give it...
Everybody is a looking for more out of life but they don't know how they live it
Like everything else if we don't return it the love's gonna run out fast
We gotta puttin' more in than we take out if we want love to last
Well if it don't rain we might go to church to put in a dollar bill
Shake the precher's hand and ask him for dinner but really hope he never will
Then we wonder why we don't get ahead as life keeps up passin' us by
We keep a looking for things that we can't find and keep on wondering why
Everybody I know is a looking for love but they don't know how they give it...
Well we can't afford just to take a little time to help a poor soul in need
We do just enough to heed our conscience in the world of hate and greed
What we needed for love was the cause of the color of the mam we walk right past
We gotta puttin' more in than we take out if we want love to last
Everybody I know is a looking for love but they don't know how they give it...
You've Never Been This Far Before lyrics - Conway Twitty
I can almost hear the stillness
as it yields to the sound of your heart beating
and I can almost hear the echo
of the thoughts that I know you must be thinking
and I can feel your body tremble
as you wonder what this moment holds in store
and as I put my arms around you
I can tell you've never been this far before
I don't know what I'm saying
as my trembling fingers touch forbidden places
I only know that I have waited
for so long for the chance that we are taking
I don't know and I don't care
what made you tell him you don't love him anymore
and as I taste your tender kisses
I can tell you've never been this far before
and as I take the love you're giving
I can feel the tension building in your mind
and you're wondering if tomorrow
I'll still love you like I'm loving you tonight
you have no way of knowing
but tonight will only make me love you more
and I hope that you'll believe me
'cause I know you've never been this far before
as it yields to the sound of your heart beating
and I can almost hear the echo
of the thoughts that I know you must be thinking
and I can feel your body tremble
as you wonder what this moment holds in store
and as I put my arms around you
I can tell you've never been this far before
I don't know what I'm saying
as my trembling fingers touch forbidden places
I only know that I have waited
for so long for the chance that we are taking
I don't know and I don't care
what made you tell him you don't love him anymore
and as I taste your tender kisses
I can tell you've never been this far before
and as I take the love you're giving
I can feel the tension building in your mind
and you're wondering if tomorrow
I'll still love you like I'm loving you tonight
you have no way of knowing
but tonight will only make me love you more
and I hope that you'll believe me
'cause I know you've never been this far before
Born To Lose lyrics - Conway Twitty
Born to lose
I've lived my life in vain
Every dream
Has only brought me pain.
All my life
I've always been so blue
Born to lose
And now I'm losin' you.
Born to lose
It's been so hard to bear
And when I've waited
And I found that you're not there.
You've grown tired
And now you say we're through
Born to lose
And now I'm losin' you.
--- Instrumental ---
Mhm All my life
I've always been so blue
Born to lose
And now I'm, I'm losin' you...
I've lived my life in vain
Every dream
Has only brought me pain.
All my life
I've always been so blue
Born to lose
And now I'm losin' you.
Born to lose
It's been so hard to bear
And when I've waited
And I found that you're not there.
You've grown tired
And now you say we're through
Born to lose
And now I'm losin' you.
--- Instrumental ---
Mhm All my life
I've always been so blue
Born to lose
And now I'm, I'm losin' you...
Bring It On Home To Your Woman lyrics - Conway Twitty
Oh, I've got a few good words to lay on everybody
It's about a man too blind to understand
The way I've treated my woman was a doggone pity
But we know there's a weakness in every man.
Just like a fool I went and left my baby crying
A different kind of lovin' I had on my mind
But everybody that I met was either cheatin' or lying
When I get a good thing at home all the time.
It's a lonely old feeling when you go from town to town
When you can't get the woman at home off your mind
I'm so tired of livin' in this new world that I've found
Lord I hope I didn't waste too much time.
I gotta put my pride aside and call my baby
Gotta do it now can't wait another day
I dialed a number and then I heard the voice of my lady
It blew my mind when I heard her say.
And she said (bring it on home) to your woman
I've got a lot of lovin' a waitin' I hope you ain't forgot
And she said (bring it on home) to your woman
And when you get there you better
Give me all the love you've got.
And she said (bring it on home) to your woman
I've got a lot of lovin' a waitin' I hope you ain't forgot
And she said (bring it on home) to your woman
And when you get there you better
Give me all the love you've got...

Till The Pain Outwears The Shame lyrics - Conway Twitty
It's common knowledge everybody knows I love you
When cheatin' caused you wear another's name
Every night I swear tomorrow I'll forget you Lord I can't
I'll keep hurtin' till the pain outwears the shame.
So I'll be back in your arms again tomorrow
We'd led us part a stolen love become a burning flame
It's wrong and I should go but when I do I know
I'll be hurtin' till the pain outwears the shame.
Tonight I love you for the last time then I'll say goodbye
But down inside I know it's all in vain
Before I'll leave the hurt's already startin' I can't go
I think it's over till the pain outwears the shame.
So I'll be back in your arms again tomorrow
We'd led us part a stolen love become a burning flame
It's wrong and I should go but when I do I know
I'll be hurtin' till the pain outwears the shame...
When cheatin' caused you wear another's name
Every night I swear tomorrow I'll forget you Lord I can't
I'll keep hurtin' till the pain outwears the shame.
So I'll be back in your arms again tomorrow
We'd led us part a stolen love become a burning flame
It's wrong and I should go but when I do I know
I'll be hurtin' till the pain outwears the shame.
Tonight I love you for the last time then I'll say goodbye
But down inside I know it's all in vain
Before I'll leave the hurt's already startin' I can't go
I think it's over till the pain outwears the shame.
So I'll be back in your arms again tomorrow
We'd led us part a stolen love become a burning flame
It's wrong and I should go but when I do I know
I'll be hurtin' till the pain outwears the shame...
Weakness In Your Man lyrics - Conway Twitty
I've seen these teardrops fill your eyes so many times before
And each time I tell myself I won't hurt you anymore
I know you know that hurting you's not part of my plan
It's just part of the weakness in your man.
It seems I never say the things that I want you to know
I love you but I know sometimes I just don't let it show
I guess I just expect you to stand by and understand
It's just part of the weakness in your man.
I know you love me and I know how hard you try
You do everything you can to satisfy
I never mean to do the things I know I sometimes do
And I'll forget the little things that mean so much to you.
But you take all this and with one sweet kiss
I know you'll understand
It's just part of the weakness in your man.
It's just part of the weakness in your man...
And each time I tell myself I won't hurt you anymore
I know you know that hurting you's not part of my plan
It's just part of the weakness in your man.
It seems I never say the things that I want you to know
I love you but I know sometimes I just don't let it show
I guess I just expect you to stand by and understand
It's just part of the weakness in your man.
I know you love me and I know how hard you try
You do everything you can to satisfy
I never mean to do the things I know I sometimes do
And I'll forget the little things that mean so much to you.
But you take all this and with one sweet kiss
I know you'll understand
It's just part of the weakness in your man.
It's just part of the weakness in your man...
Seasons Of My Heart lyrics - Conway Twitty
The seasons come the seasons go
We get sunshine rain and snow
Just the way that it was planned to be.
But there's no seasons in my heart
While you play the leading part
'Cause the flowers will bloom eternaly.
Your leaving will bring autumn sorrow
And my tears, like withered leaves will fall
But spring could bring some glad tomorrow
Darling, we could be happy after all.
Your leaving will bring autumn sorrow
And my tears, like withered leaves will fall
But spring could bring some glad tomorrow
Darling, we could be happy after all.
And she did, and it did, and Lord knows I didn't
And I know I'll never again
She left me somewhere between, it's over and the end
With more than an effort to destroy any man.
There'll never be another to share the love that lives
'Cause her leaving left me no love to give
I knew if she left me it would surely destroy me
I'll never forget her for the love we had then.
And she didm and it did, and Lord knows
I didn't and I know I'll never again.
I knew if she left me it would surely destroy me
I'll never forget her for the love we had then.
And she didm and it did, and Lord knows
I didn't and I know I'll never again...
We get sunshine rain and snow
Just the way that it was planned to be.
But there's no seasons in my heart
While you play the leading part
'Cause the flowers will bloom eternaly.
Your leaving will bring autumn sorrow
And my tears, like withered leaves will fall
But spring could bring some glad tomorrow
Darling, we could be happy after all.
Your leaving will bring autumn sorrow
And my tears, like withered leaves will fall
But spring could bring some glad tomorrow
Darling, we could be happy after all.
And she did, and it did, and Lord knows I didn't
And I know I'll never again
She left me somewhere between, it's over and the end
With more than an effort to destroy any man.
There'll never be another to share the love that lives
'Cause her leaving left me no love to give
I knew if she left me it would surely destroy me
I'll never forget her for the love we had then.
And she didm and it did, and Lord knows
I didn't and I know I'll never again.
I knew if she left me it would surely destroy me
I'll never forget her for the love we had then.
And she didm and it did, and Lord knows
I didn't and I know I'll never again...
When The Final Change Is Made lyrics - Conway Twitty
Lately, I watched strange changes overcome you
Destroying the loving part of you, I knew
You're letting someone turn you into a stranger
And when the final change is made, I won't have you.
When the final change is made, I won't have you
Someone's got you chasing rainbows, in your mind
He already owns your conscience, but he's not true
'Cause when the final change is made, he'll have you.
When the final change is made, he'll have you
But he'll never own the part of you, I love
And I'll turn to that loving part of you, I knew
'Cause when the final change is made, I'll still want you.
Yes, when the final change is made, I'll still love you...
Destroying the loving part of you, I knew
You're letting someone turn you into a stranger
And when the final change is made, I won't have you.
When the final change is made, I won't have you
Someone's got you chasing rainbows, in your mind
He already owns your conscience, but he's not true
'Cause when the final change is made, he'll have you.
When the final change is made, he'll have you
But he'll never own the part of you, I love
And I'll turn to that loving part of you, I knew
'Cause when the final change is made, I'll still want you.
Yes, when the final change is made, I'll still love you...
Above And Beyond (The Call Of Love) lyrics - Conway Twitty
I'll give you love that's above and beyond the call of love
And I'll never ever make you cry
I'll give you love that's above and beyond the call of love
And love is something that money can't buy.
Well, a poor boy's chances for a pretty girl's glances
Are sometimes very few
Ain't got no money if you'll be my honey
Here's what I'll offer you.
I'll give you love that's above and beyond the call of love
And I'll never ever make you cry
I'll give you love that's above and beyond the call of love
And love is something that money can't buy.
Oh, we met by chance and I knew at a glance
That I'd found my destiny
I'd still carry you off and marry you if
You would agree.
To givin' me love that's above and beyond the call of love
And I'll never ever make you cry
I'll give you love that's above and beyond the call of love
And love is something that money can't buy...
And I'll never ever make you cry
I'll give you love that's above and beyond the call of love
And love is something that money can't buy.
Well, a poor boy's chances for a pretty girl's glances
Are sometimes very few
Ain't got no money if you'll be my honey
Here's what I'll offer you.
I'll give you love that's above and beyond the call of love
And I'll never ever make you cry
I'll give you love that's above and beyond the call of love
And love is something that money can't buy.
Oh, we met by chance and I knew at a glance
That I'd found my destiny
I'd still carry you off and marry you if
You would agree.
To givin' me love that's above and beyond the call of love
And I'll never ever make you cry
I'll give you love that's above and beyond the call of love
And love is something that money can't buy...
You Make It Hard To Take The Easy Way Out lyrics - Conway Twitty
Doing wrong is not a habit on mine
But tonight I know I did for, the very first time
Soon I'll face you for I love you without a doubt
You make it hard to take the easy way out.
I'll confess and hope that you understand
Then I'll beg you to forgive this one mistake, in your man
Yes, I'll admit I came back on your account
You make it hard to take the easy way out.
You make it hard to take the easy way out
To lose your love would be the end, there's no doubt
The hurt I feel is only shame I brought about
You make it hard to take the easy way out...
But tonight I know I did for, the very first time
Soon I'll face you for I love you without a doubt
You make it hard to take the easy way out.
I'll confess and hope that you understand
Then I'll beg you to forgive this one mistake, in your man
Yes, I'll admit I came back on your account
You make it hard to take the easy way out.
You make it hard to take the easy way out
To lose your love would be the end, there's no doubt
The hurt I feel is only shame I brought about
You make it hard to take the easy way out...
I Love You More In Memory lyrics - Conway Twitty
Just outside my window there's a sound that I can't stand
The cold night rain is falling and the crying lonesome wind
It's telling me you're gone and he's with you tonight
I love you more in memory than he can holding you tight.
There were times when you were happy but just for a while
Then a hunger for his love came and took away your smile
While you're in his arms you'll be in my dreams tonight
I love you more in memory than he can holding you tight.
You know I loved you and I know how hard you'd try
But there's a part of you I never could satisfy
So I'm losing your sweet love a little more each night
I love you more in memory than he can holding you tight.
I love you more in memory than he can holding you tight...
The cold night rain is falling and the crying lonesome wind
It's telling me you're gone and he's with you tonight
I love you more in memory than he can holding you tight.
There were times when you were happy but just for a while
Then a hunger for his love came and took away your smile
While you're in his arms you'll be in my dreams tonight
I love you more in memory than he can holding you tight.
You know I loved you and I know how hard you'd try
But there's a part of you I never could satisfy
So I'm losing your sweet love a little more each night
I love you more in memory than he can holding you tight.
I love you more in memory than he can holding you tight...
She Needs Someone To Hold Her (When She Cries) lyrics - Conway Twitty
Lord, she needs someone to hold her when she cries.
She packed her few belongings left a note and now she's gone
And I can't stand to think of her out there so all alone
As soon as she's gone far enough to know she's out of sight
She'll pull off the highway and she'll cry.
And she needs someone to hold her when she cries
Someone who really understands the way she feels inside
When her heart breaks the tears won't stop, no matter how she tries
And she needs someone to hold her when she cries.
I don't blame her for leavin' Lord, she didn't want to go
But she thinks I don't love her or need her anymore
I've driven her into a world as dark and cold as ice
With no one there to hold her when she cries.
And she needs someone to hold her when she cries
Someone who really understands the way she feels inside
And if she ever loves again I hope that she will find
Someone who'll always hold her when she cries.
She packed her few belongings left a note and now she's gone
And I can't stand to think of her out there so all alone
As soon as she's gone far enough to know she's out of sight
She'll pull off the highway and she'll cry.
And she needs someone to hold her when she cries
Someone who really understands the way she feels inside
When her heart breaks the tears won't stop, no matter how she tries
And she needs someone to hold her when she cries.
I don't blame her for leavin' Lord, she didn't want to go
But she thinks I don't love her or need her anymore
I've driven her into a world as dark and cold as ice
With no one there to hold her when she cries.
And she needs someone to hold her when she cries
Someone who really understands the way she feels inside
And if she ever loves again I hope that she will find
Someone who'll always hold her when she cries.
Sweet Memories lyrics - Conway Twitty
I'll still have memories sweet memories of you
Sometimes I wonder now and then
Of all the things that might have been
Thinking of the things we used to do
I should have shown you more love then
I'll never have the chance again
I'll still have memories sweet memories of you
Memories of the past
Dreams of things that didn't last
I'll still have memories sweet memories of you
I brought your mem'ry from the past
From all the things that didn't last
A memory of love we thought was true
Regrets are made from things that you
Always planned but never do
That's what brought memories sweet memories of you
Memories of the past...
Sometimes I wonder now and then
Of all the things that might have been
Thinking of the things we used to do
I should have shown you more love then
I'll never have the chance again
I'll still have memories sweet memories of you
Memories of the past
Dreams of things that didn't last
I'll still have memories sweet memories of you
I brought your mem'ry from the past
From all the things that didn't last
A memory of love we thought was true
Regrets are made from things that you
Always planned but never do
That's what brought memories sweet memories of you
Memories of the past...
I've Just Destroyed The World lyrics - Conway Twitty
The sun just went behind the clouds there's darkness all around me now
And I've just destroyed the world I'm livin' in
I broke her so many times and now at last I've broken mine
And I've just destroyed the world I'm livin' in
What made me think that I could go on hurting her
I should have known there'd have to be an end
But fools in love I thought by fate they never learn till it's too late
And I've just destroyed the world I'm livin' in
What made me think that I could go on hurting her...
And I've just destroyed the world I'm livin' in
I broke her so many times and now at last I've broken mine
And I've just destroyed the world I'm livin' in
What made me think that I could go on hurting her
I should have known there'd have to be an end
But fools in love I thought by fate they never learn till it's too late
And I've just destroyed the world I'm livin' in
What made me think that I could go on hurting her...
Even The Bad Times Are Good lyrics - Conway Twitty
Even the bad times are good
If there's a chance that your heart misses
The words I try to say with kisses
If I don't seem to look as happy
As I should
I don't want to live without you
I love everything about you
Yes, even the bad times are good
Your middle name should be perfection
For that's what you are to me
Even in my darkest moment
You made it easier to see
I wouldn't change one thing about you
If I knew that I could
Yes, even the bad times are good
Your middle name should be perfection
For that's what you are to me
Even in my darkest moment
You made it easier to see
I wouldn't change one thing about you
If I knew that I could
Yes, even the bad times are good
Even the bad times are good
If there's a chance that your heart misses
The words I try to say with kisses
If I don't seem to look as happy
As I should
I don't want to live without you
I love everything about you
Yes, even the bad times are good
Your middle name should be perfection
For that's what you are to me
Even in my darkest moment
You made it easier to see
I wouldn't change one thing about you
If I knew that I could
Yes, even the bad times are good
Your middle name should be perfection
For that's what you are to me
Even in my darkest moment
You made it easier to see
I wouldn't change one thing about you
If I knew that I could
Yes, even the bad times are good
Even the bad times are good
It's Not Love But It's Not Bad lyrics - Conway Twitty
She was always there each time I needed you
Holdin' on to me like I held on to you
We still don't have what you and I once had
No it's not love but it's not bad
No it's not love not like ours was
It's not love but it keeps love from drivin' me mad
And I don't have to wonder who she's had
No it's not love but it's not bad
I turn to her when you leave me alone
Sometimes even when you're here but you're still gone
She's slowly changing what you leave so sad
No it's not love but it's not bad
No it's not love not like ours was...
Holdin' on to me like I held on to you
We still don't have what you and I once had
No it's not love but it's not bad
No it's not love not like ours was
It's not love but it keeps love from drivin' me mad
And I don't have to wonder who she's had
No it's not love but it's not bad
I turn to her when you leave me alone
Sometimes even when you're here but you're still gone
She's slowly changing what you leave so sad
No it's not love but it's not bad
No it's not love not like ours was...
Dim Lonely Places lyrics - Conway Twitty
Dim lonely places,
Old familiar faces
Stand out in my memory
In her eyes,
The reflection
Of love and affection,
A picture of what used to be.
I still remember
That night in December
When she walked
Right out of my world
And now it's all over
It's ending
It's over
When I want
To be with my girl ,
I go back to those
Dim lonely places,
Old familiar faces
Stand out in my memory
In her eyes,
The reflection
Of love and affection,
A picture of what used to be.
I still remember
That night in December
When she walked
Right out of my world
And now it's all over
It's ending
And It's over
When I want
To be with my girl.
I go back to those
Dim Lonely Places,
Old familiar faces
Stand out in my memory
In her eyes,
The reflection
Of love and affection,
A picture of what used to be...
Old familiar faces
Stand out in my memory
In her eyes,
The reflection
Of love and affection,
A picture of what used to be.
I still remember
That night in December
When she walked
Right out of my world
And now it's all over
It's ending
It's over
When I want
To be with my girl ,
I go back to those
Dim lonely places,
Old familiar faces
Stand out in my memory
In her eyes,
The reflection
Of love and affection,
A picture of what used to be.
I still remember
That night in December
When she walked
Right out of my world
And now it's all over
It's ending
And It's over
When I want
To be with my girl.
I go back to those
Dim Lonely Places,
Old familiar faces
Stand out in my memory
In her eyes,
The reflection
Of love and affection,
A picture of what used to be...
Darlin' lyrics - Conway Twitty
Darlin', dearest darlin'
Put your arms around me baby please
Darlin', dearest darlin'
Kiss me one more time before you leave.
If you must go be on your way
Before I start in begging you to stay with me
I am getting weak from being strong
The first thing that you know I'll be down on my knees.
Darlin', dearest darlin'
Always in my heart and in my thoughts
Darlin', dearest darlin'
Havin' loved you once I've never stopped.
Darlin', dearest darlin'
Put your arms around me baby please
Put your arms around me baby please
Darlin', dearest darlin'
Kiss me one more time before you leave.
If you must go be on your way
Before I start in begging you to stay with me
I am getting weak from being strong
The first thing that you know I'll be down on my knees.
Darlin', dearest darlin'
Always in my heart and in my thoughts
Darlin', dearest darlin'
Havin' loved you once I've never stopped.
Darlin', dearest darlin'
Put your arms around me baby please
I Don't Believe I'll Fall In Love Today lyrics - Conway Twitty
I don't believe I'll fall in love today
Old memories of you stand in the way
I just can't make my heart find someone new
It's always much too busy loving you
So I don't believe I'll fall in love today
Cause if I did I'm sure I wouldn't stay
You'd come between us like you always do
Somehow she'd never measure up to you
Each night I pray I'll wake at dawn and find
Another in my heart and on my mind
Then I'll awake and hear my poor heart say
I don't believe I'll fall in love today
[ fiddle - steel ]
Each night I pray I'll wake at dawn and find...
Old memories of you stand in the way
I just can't make my heart find someone new
It's always much too busy loving you
So I don't believe I'll fall in love today
Cause if I did I'm sure I wouldn't stay
You'd come between us like you always do
Somehow she'd never measure up to you
Each night I pray I'll wake at dawn and find
Another in my heart and on my mind
Then I'll awake and hear my poor heart say
I don't believe I'll fall in love today
[ fiddle - steel ]
Each night I pray I'll wake at dawn and find...
Each Season Changes You lyrics - Conway Twitty
Like the weather your heart changes with each season
Springtime summer fall and winter too
Though I know I'll never understand the reason
I still wonder why each season changes you
It was springtime when I found you like a flower
And our love grew warmer with the summer sun
In the fall I could see our love was changing
It broke my heart to see what wintertime had done
Like the weather your heart changes with each season...
Springtime summer fall and winter too
Though I know I'll never understand the reason
I still wonder why each season changes you
It was springtime when I found you like a flower
And our love grew warmer with the summer sun
In the fall I could see our love was changing
It broke my heart to see what wintertime had done
Like the weather your heart changes with each season...
Why Not Tonight lyrics - Conway Twitty
Let's forget unpleasant mem'ries let them lie there in the past
Say you love me again that tonight won't be our last
Yesterday's gone forever and tomorrow's out of sight
So if you've ever loved me then why not tonight
Why not tonight why not tonight
If you can't forgive me and love me again
Then why not tonight
We'll search back through the ashes of the bridges we've burned
All the lessons we've been taught surely ones we've learned
We've got a chance in a lifetime to find love that's right
If you're ever gonna love me then why not tonight
Why not tonight why not tonight...
Sweetheart look at me and listen our love is like an eternal flame
And I don't believe that it'll ever die
And this may be our last chance to make things right
So if you've ever gonna love me then why not tonight
Say you love me again that tonight won't be our last
Yesterday's gone forever and tomorrow's out of sight
So if you've ever loved me then why not tonight
Why not tonight why not tonight
If you can't forgive me and love me again
Then why not tonight
We'll search back through the ashes of the bridges we've burned
All the lessons we've been taught surely ones we've learned
We've got a chance in a lifetime to find love that's right
If you're ever gonna love me then why not tonight
Why not tonight why not tonight...
Sweetheart look at me and listen our love is like an eternal flame
And I don't believe that it'll ever die
And this may be our last chance to make things right
So if you've ever gonna love me then why not tonight
Don't Cry Daddy lyrics - Conway Twitty
Today I stumbled from my bed
With thunder crashing around my head
My pillow still wet
From last nights tears
And as I think of giving up
A voice inside my coffee cup
Keeps crying out
And ringing in my ears.
Don't cry daddy
Daddy, please don't cry
Daddy, you've still got me, Jimmy and Johnny
Together we'll find a brand new mommy
Daddy, daddy, please laugh again
Daddy ride us on your back again
Oh, daddy, please don't cry.
Why must children be the first
To feel the pain and hurt the worst
It's true somehow it don't seem right
And ev'ry time I cry I know
It hurts my little children so
I wonder will it be the same tonight?
Don't cry daddy
Daddy, please don't cry
Daddy, you've still got me, Jimmy and Joni
Together we'll find a brand new mommy
Daddy, daddy, please laugh again
Daddy ride us on your back again.
Oh, daddy, please don't cry
Well daddy, please don't cry
With thunder crashing around my head
My pillow still wet
From last nights tears
And as I think of giving up
A voice inside my coffee cup
Keeps crying out
And ringing in my ears.
Don't cry daddy
Daddy, please don't cry
Daddy, you've still got me, Jimmy and Johnny
Together we'll find a brand new mommy
Daddy, daddy, please laugh again
Daddy ride us on your back again
Oh, daddy, please don't cry.
Why must children be the first
To feel the pain and hurt the worst
It's true somehow it don't seem right
And ev'ry time I cry I know
It hurts my little children so
I wonder will it be the same tonight?
Don't cry daddy

Daddy, daddy, please laugh again
Daddy ride us on your back again.
Oh, daddy, please don't cry
Well daddy, please don't cry

Born To Sing The Blues lyrics - Conway Twitty
Born to sing the blues
So tired an' worn, just singin' the blues
Alone right from the start,
I walked alone with blues in my heart.
True love, (true love) I've never known (I've never known.)
Everything (everything) I do is wrong. (all wrong.)
But wrong, I've always been
It's hard to go on when I never win.
My life, (my life) my destiny, (my destiny.)
Is loneliness (lonliness) and misery. (misery.)
My life, I didn't choose.
I guess, I was born to sing the blues.
The lonesome blues,
The weary blues...
So tired an' worn, just singin' the blues
Alone right from the start,
I walked alone with blues in my heart.
True love, (true love) I've never known (I've never known.)
Everything (everything) I do is wrong. (all wrong.)
But wrong, I've always been
It's hard to go on when I never win.
My life, (my life) my destiny, (my destiny.)
Is loneliness (lonliness) and misery. (misery.)
My life, I didn't choose.
I guess, I was born to sing the blues.
The lonesome blues,
The weary blues...
Crazy Dreams lyrics - Conway Twitty
Dreams, dreams
Crazy dreams
Now, I have
These crazy dreams.
You know, I know
You broke my heart
That's why I have
These crazy dreams.
Blue, Blue
Alone with the blues
At night I have
These crazy dreams.
Near, far
Like falling rain
At night I only
Dream again.
Dream, dream
Crazy dreams
At night I have
Crazy dreams.
Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm...
Crazy dreams
Now, I have
These crazy dreams.
You know, I know
You broke my heart
That's why I have
These crazy dreams.
Blue, Blue
Alone with the blues
At night I have
These crazy dreams.
Near, far
Like falling rain
At night I only
Dream again.
Dream, dream
Crazy dreams
At night I have
Crazy dreams.
Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm...
(Lost Her Love) On Our Last Date lyrics - Conway Twitty
It's over, our love affair,
Too late now I find I care
Her sweet love, never more I'll share
She's gone, I'm alone,
I was wrong, should have known
Took her home after our last date.
I searched for a simply way
To tell her what I had to say
I kissed her then I turned away
Set her free, foolishly, destiny, misery
Tragedy, on our last date.
Took my ring from her trembling finger
Brushed the tears from my baby's eyes
Walked away, didn't know
That I'd soon miss her so
I guess I was too young to realize.
So blind I couldn't see
How much she really meant to me
And that soon she would always be
On my mind, in my heart,
I was blind from the start
Lost her love on our last date...
Too late now I find I care
Her sweet love, never more I'll share
She's gone, I'm alone,
I was wrong, should have known
Took her home after our last date.
I searched for a simply way
To tell her what I had to say
I kissed her then I turned away
Set her free, foolishly, destiny, misery
Tragedy, on our last date.
Took my ring from her trembling finger
Brushed the tears from my baby's eyes
Walked away, didn't know
That I'd soon miss her so
I guess I was too young to realize.
So blind I couldn't see
How much she really meant to me
And that soon she would always be
On my mind, in my heart,
I was blind from the start
Lost her love on our last date...
Candy lyrics - Conway Twitty
Candy came from L.A., California
He was a picture of a perfect man
His hair was styled and his silken suits were tailored
He drove a red imported sports sedan.
Candy was a travelling playboy
His heart was made of solid stone
He would find them, love them and then he'd leave them
Candy lived upon a throne.
My baby fell just like he wanted
Candy ruined our happy home
Baby's gotta a sweet tooth for Candy
But candy won't last long.
Well, baby's gotta sweet tooth for Candy
She's gonna find her taste is not so sweet
She thinks she has found a real Jim Dandy
We'll wait 'til she finds he's not for keeps.
Candy is a whole lot like him
Candy is sweet but when it's gone, it's gone
It'll melt away then tell me who's the sucker
Well, that's when my baby will come home.
My baby fell just like he wanted
Candy ruined our happy home
Baby's gotta a sweet tooth for Candy.
Awww, Candy won't last long.
Yeah, Candy you won't last long...
He was a picture of a perfect man
His hair was styled and his silken suits were tailored
He drove a red imported sports sedan.
Candy was a travelling playboy
His heart was made of solid stone
He would find them, love them and then he'd leave them
Candy lived upon a throne.
My baby fell just like he wanted
Candy ruined our happy home
Baby's gotta a sweet tooth for Candy
But candy won't last long.
Well, baby's gotta sweet tooth for Candy
She's gonna find her taste is not so sweet
She thinks she has found a real Jim Dandy
We'll wait 'til she finds he's not for keeps.
Candy is a whole lot like him
Candy is sweet but when it's gone, it's gone
It'll melt away then tell me who's the sucker
Well, that's when my baby will come home.
My baby fell just like he wanted
Candy ruined our happy home
Baby's gotta a sweet tooth for Candy.
Awww, Candy won't last long.
Yeah, Candy you won't last long...
Hold To My Unchanging Love lyrics - Conway Twitty
When you're tempted by another
Who could thrill you through and through
Think of all the love I'm giving
Love I'll share with only you.
Hold to my unchanging love
Hold to my unchanging love
Don't go looking for another
Hold to my unchanging love.
There are men who long to hold you
And they'll promise you the world
Don't be fooled by all their woeing
I want you to be my girl.
Baby, hold to my unchanging love
Hold to my unchanging love
Don't go looking for another
Hold to my unchanging love.
Baby, Won't you hold to my unchanging love...
Who could thrill you through and through
Think of all the love I'm giving
Love I'll share with only you.
Hold to my unchanging love
Hold to my unchanging love
Don't go looking for another
Hold to my unchanging love.
There are men who long to hold you
And they'll promise you the world
Don't be fooled by all their woeing
I want you to be my girl.
Baby, hold to my unchanging love
Hold to my unchanging love
Don't go looking for another
Hold to my unchanging love.
Baby, Won't you hold to my unchanging love...
I Still See Him lyrics - Conway Twitty
I see him everyday in the same old haunting way
Of his hiding place wearing his same disguise
And this hurting me to know he's hurting someone I love so
But I still see him through the hurt in your eyes.
You'll never talk about him and I'll never let to know
About the one you must have loved so much so long ago
You're wanting to forget him and I know how your heart tries
But I still see him through the hurt in your eyes.
You've painted me his picture with words you couldn't speak
And I've seen his reflection in a mem'ry on your cheek
You're wanting to forget him and I know how your heart tries
But I still see him through the hurt in your eyes.
Yes, I still see him through the hurt in your eyes...
Of his hiding place wearing his same disguise
And this hurting me to know he's hurting someone I love so
But I still see him through the hurt in your eyes.
You'll never talk about him and I'll never let to know
About the one you must have loved so much so long ago
You're wanting to forget him and I know how your heart tries
But I still see him through the hurt in your eyes.
You've painted me his picture with words you couldn't speak
And I've seen his reflection in a mem'ry on your cheek
You're wanting to forget him and I know how your heart tries
But I still see him through the hurt in your eyes.
Yes, I still see him through the hurt in your eyes...
I Just Wanted You To Know lyrics - Conway Twitty
Things work out for the best some people say
My wanting you has turned to love and just today
I realized I've loved you long ago
These are some little things I just wanted you to know.
I just wanted you to know I love you
Though I don't have the right to let it show
I should have shown my feelings long ago
These are some little things I just wanted you to know.
The hardest part is knowing you want me too
Your eyes tell me you understand what I go through
He's got you but you love me and you'll let it show
These are some little things I just wanted you to know.
And if someday he'll set you free, just tell me so
These are some little things I just wanted you to know...
My wanting you has turned to love and just today
I realized I've loved you long ago
These are some little things I just wanted you to know.
I just wanted you to know I love you
Though I don't have the right to let it show
I should have shown my feelings long ago
These are some little things I just wanted you to know.
The hardest part is knowing you want me too
Your eyes tell me you understand what I go through
He's got you but you love me and you'll let it show
These are some little things I just wanted you to know.
And if someday he'll set you free, just tell me so
These are some little things I just wanted you to know...
I Can't Stop Loving You lyrics - Conway Twitty
I can't stop loving you so I made up my mind
To live in memories of old lonesome times.
I can't stop wanting you, it's useless to say
So I just live my life in dreams of yesterday.
Those happy hours that we once knew
So long ago, still make me blue.
And they say that time heals a broken heart
But time has stood still since we've been apart.
I can't stop love you, so I made up my mind
To live in memories of old lonesome times.
I can't stop wanting you, it's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday.
To live in memories of old lonesome times.
I can't stop wanting you, it's useless to say
So I just live my life in dreams of yesterday.
Those happy hours that we once knew
So long ago, still make me blue.
And they say that time heals a broken heart
But time has stood still since we've been apart.
I can't stop love you, so I made up my mind
To live in memories of old lonesome times.
I can't stop wanting you, it's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday.
Imagination Running Wild lyrics - Conway Twitty
Just like all the other times as we entered
Across the white dance floor then to the bar
I thought I saw him smile in your direction
Or was my imagination running wild?
With ten minutes he had asked you for a dance love
Oh, too soon you said you'd like it fine
I thought you danced too close to be strangers
Or was my imagination out of line?
As the night grew old the wine had made you careless
It seemed to me that he was just your style
I said let's go home before there's some heartache
And you said your imagination's running wild.
My mind was filled with cruel and painful vision
Afraid I might be wrong, I tried to smile
Then you left with him and all my fears were happ'ning
And my poor imagination's running wild.
Yes, my poor imagination's running wild...
Across the white dance floor then to the bar
I thought I saw him smile in your direction
Or was my imagination running wild?
With ten minutes he had asked you for a dance love
Oh, too soon you said you'd like it fine
I thought you danced too close to be strangers
Or was my imagination out of line?
As the night grew old the wine had made you careless
It seemed to me that he was just your style
I said let's go home before there's some heartache
And you said your imagination's running wild.
My mind was filled with cruel and painful vision
Afraid I might be wrong, I tried to smile
Then you left with him and all my fears were happ'ning
And my poor imagination's running wild.
Yes, my poor imagination's running wild...
White Lightning lyrics - Conway Twitty
(Whew whay soway) white lightning
In the Arkansas mountains way back in the hills
Lived my old pappy we had us a still
We brewed white lightning till the sun went down
And we take out a jug and we pass it around
Mighty, mighty pleasin', my pappy's corn squeezin'
(Whew whay soway) white lightning.
Well, I asked my old pappy why he called his brew
White lightning stead of mountain dew
I took a little sip and right away I knew
My eyes bugged out (and my face turned blue)
Lightning started splashin', thunder started crashin'
(Whew whay soway) white lightning.
Well, the G men, T men, revenoers too
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew
They were lookin', tryin' to book him
But my pappy kept on cookin'
(Whew whay soway) white lightning.
Well, a city slicker came and he said I'm tough
I gotta have a drink of that powerful stuff
He took one drink and he slug it right down
And I heard him a moanin' as he hit the ground
Mighty, mighty pleasin', your pappy's corn squeezin'
(Whew whay soway) white lightning.
Well the G men, T men...
In the Arkansas mountains way back in the hills
Lived my old pappy we had us a still
We brewed white lightning till the sun went down
And we take out a jug and we pass it around
Mighty, mighty pleasin', my pappy's corn squeezin'
(Whew whay soway) white lightning.
Well, I asked my old pappy why he called his brew
White lightning stead of mountain dew
I took a little sip and right away I knew
My eyes bugged out (and my face turned blue)
Lightning started splashin', thunder started crashin'
(Whew whay soway) white lightning.
Well, the G men, T men, revenoers too
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew
They were lookin', tryin' to book him
But my pappy kept on cookin'
(Whew whay soway) white lightning.
Well, a city slicker came and he said I'm tough

He took one drink and he slug it right down
And I heard him a moanin' as he hit the ground
Mighty, mighty pleasin', your pappy's corn squeezin'
(Whew whay soway) white lightning.
Well the G men, T men...
Back When Judy Loved Me lyrics - Conway Twitty
There was backstreets of Birmingham,
Taking my clothes and my food and a trash can.
Sleeping in alleys at night, making love to a bottle of wine
'Cause you know life is to succeed
But that was back when Judy loved me
Somewhere in yesterday, seems a million miles away.
Back in the days Judy used to beg me to take her away
But I was too young and livin' was fun
I didn't know how time would change me
Life slid by me too fast, the fun didn't last,
It's too late to get back to the days when Judy loved me.
Riding a frieght train goin' nowhere
Don't use mirrors anymore, they show my grey hair
Giving my place in the welfare line
Trading my soup for a bottle of wine
'Cause you know life is to succeed
But that was back when Judy loved me.
Somewhere in yesterday, seems a million miles away
Back in the days Judy used to beg me to take her away
But I was too young and livin' was fun
I didn't know how time would change me.
Life slid by me too fast, the fun didn't last,
It's too late to get back to the days when Judy loved me
Back when Judy loved me.
Back when Judy loved me...
Taking my clothes and my food and a trash can.
Sleeping in alleys at night, making love to a bottle of wine
'Cause you know life is to succeed
But that was back when Judy loved me
Somewhere in yesterday, seems a million miles away.
Back in the days Judy used to beg me to take her away
But I was too young and livin' was fun
I didn't know how time would change me
Life slid by me too fast, the fun didn't last,
It's too late to get back to the days when Judy loved me.
Riding a frieght train goin' nowhere
Don't use mirrors anymore, they show my grey hair
Giving my place in the welfare line
Trading my soup for a bottle of wine
'Cause you know life is to succeed
But that was back when Judy loved me.
Somewhere in yesterday, seems a million miles away
Back in the days Judy used to beg me to take her away
But I was too young and livin' was fun
I didn't know how time would change me.
Life slid by me too fast, the fun didn't last,
It's too late to get back to the days when Judy loved me
Back when Judy loved me.
Back when Judy loved me...
Key's In The Mailbox lyrics - Conway Twitty
Oh, jealous me and careless you, the odds were just too great
I couldn't take those lonely nights, you made me sit and wait
I thought I'd seen the last of you when you walked out of sight
Instead I see you in my dreams each night.
Oh, the key's in the mailbox come on in
I'm sittin' here wishing dear, I had your love again
I'd never even ask you where you've been
The key's in the mailbox come on in.
I said, I'd rather be alone than share your company
I said, don't come around at all if you want more than me
But sittin' here alone I can't deny this flame that burns
I'd gladly take you back on any terms.
Oh, the key's in the mailbox come on in
I'm sittin' here wishing dear, I had your love again
I'd never even ask you where you've been
The key's in the mailbox come on in...
I couldn't take those lonely nights, you made me sit and wait
I thought I'd seen the last of you when you walked out of sight
Instead I see you in my dreams each night.
Oh, the key's in the mailbox come on in
I'm sittin' here wishing dear, I had your love again
I'd never even ask you where you've been
The key's in the mailbox come on in.
I said, I'd rather be alone than share your company
I said, don't come around at all if you want more than me
But sittin' here alone I can't deny this flame that burns
I'd gladly take you back on any terms.
Oh, the key's in the mailbox come on in
I'm sittin' here wishing dear, I had your love again
I'd never even ask you where you've been
The key's in the mailbox come on in...
Since She's Not With The One She Loves lyrics - Conway Twitty
You say somehow she don't fit in with your old drinking crowd
Well bartender it's all new to her she's a lady and should be proud.
She loved me so long and asked so little but I always gave her less
Now since she's not with the one she loves she'll love the one she's with.
I remember the nights she cried for me and she had every right
While she stayed at home and waited I was out like she is tonight.
Now, I know how it hurts to be alone and to see her here like this
Now since she's not with the one she loves she'll love the one she's with.
Since she's not with the one she loves she loves the one she's with
I came here to say I love her but I'm too late I guess
She went as far as she could go without love then turned the list
Since she's not with the one she loves she'll love the one she's with.
Since she's not with the one she loves she loves the one she's with
I came here to say I love her but I'm too late I guess
She went as far as she could go without love then turned the list
Since she's not with the one she loves she'll love the one she's with...
Well bartender it's all new to her she's a lady and should be proud.
She loved me so long and asked so little but I always gave her less
Now since she's not with the one she loves she'll love the one she's with.
I remember the nights she cried for me and she had every right
While she stayed at home and waited I was out like she is tonight.
Now, I know how it hurts to be alone and to see her here like this
Now since she's not with the one she loves she'll love the one she's with.
Since she's not with the one she loves she loves the one she's with
I came here to say I love her but I'm too late I guess
She went as far as she could go without love then turned the list
Since she's not with the one she loves she'll love the one she's with.
Since she's not with the one she loves she loves the one she's with
I came here to say I love her but I'm too late I guess
She went as far as she could go without love then turned the list
Since she's not with the one she loves she'll love the one she's with...
I Can't See Me Without You lyrics - Conway Twitty
I can't see you in my arms anymore
And I can't see me without you.
Is it day, is it night
Am I losing my sight
Is it over, are we really through?
I can't see you in my arms anymore
And I can't see me without you.
I can't see me without you to lean on
And I can't see you leaving or gone.
I could never see anything you wanted me to
And I can't see me without you.
I see the house, you once called your home
And I see the door you walked through
And I see the road you're leaving me on
But I can't see me without you.
I can't see me without you to lean on
And I can't see you leaving or gone
I could never see anything you wanted me to
And I can't see me without you...
And I can't see me without you.
Is it day, is it night
Am I losing my sight
Is it over, are we really through?
I can't see you in my arms anymore
And I can't see me without you.
I can't see me without you to lean on
And I can't see you leaving or gone.
I could never see anything you wanted me to
And I can't see me without you.
I see the house, you once called your home
And I see the door you walked through
And I see the road you're leaving me on
But I can't see me without you.
I can't see me without you to lean on
And I can't see you leaving or gone
I could never see anything you wanted me to
And I can't see me without you...
Looking Through My Glass lyrics - Conway Twitty
I looked into my future, what did I see?
Nothing but a lonely face, staring back at me
I looked into my glass of wine and there to my surprise
I saw my dream world fall apart, right before my eyes.
Looking through my glass of cherry wine
Trying hard to get you off my mind
But all I see is love that didn't last
Yes I can see it all, just looking through my glass.
And now the glass is empty, I'm down to my last dime
Just one more drink, that's all I need to ease my troubled mind
So fill it up please Mister, this one's got the last
I've got a million years to spend, just looking through my glass.
Looking through my glass of cherry wine
Trying hard to get you off my mind
But all I see is love that didn't last
Yes I can see it all, just looking through my glass...
Nothing but a lonely face, staring back at me
I looked into my glass of wine and there to my surprise
I saw my dream world fall apart, right before my eyes.
Looking through my glass of cherry wine
Trying hard to get you off my mind
But all I see is love that didn't last
Yes I can see it all, just looking through my glass.
And now the glass is empty, I'm down to my last dime
Just one more drink, that's all I need to ease my troubled mind
So fill it up please Mister, this one's got the last
I've got a million years to spend, just looking through my glass.
Looking through my glass of cherry wine
Trying hard to get you off my mind
But all I see is love that didn't last
Yes I can see it all, just looking through my glass...
It's Been One Heck Of A Day lyrics - Conway Twitty
It all started early this morning
As her mem'ry cruely eased my mind
I found a picture in my wallet
I thought I threw away
Oh, it's been one heck of a day.
Then while looking through the evening papers
I ran across some torturing news
Mr. and Mrs, O'Grady now have a new baby
Oh, it's been one heck of a day.
Is it there for me to love her
And cry at the thought of her
When my only hope is a dream
An old friend dropped by late this evening
Wouldn't you know he asked about her
But I guess he didn't know that I lost her long ago
Oh, it's been one heck of the day.
Oh, it's been one heck of a day...
As her mem'ry cruely eased my mind
I found a picture in my wallet
I thought I threw away
Oh, it's been one heck of a day.
Then while looking through the evening papers
I ran across some torturing news
Mr. and Mrs, O'Grady now have a new baby
Oh, it's been one heck of a day.
Is it there for me to love her
And cry at the thought of her
When my only hope is a dream
An old friend dropped by late this evening
Wouldn't you know he asked about her
But I guess he didn't know that I lost her long ago
Oh, it's been one heck of the day.
Oh, it's been one heck of a day...
Kiss An Angel Good Mornin' lyrics - Conway Twitty
Whenever I chance to meet, some old friends on the street
They wonder, how does a man get to be this way
I've always got a smilin' face, any time and any place
And everytime they ask me why, I just smile and say.
You've got to kiss an angel good mornin'
And let her know you think about her when you're gone
Kiss an angel good mornin'
And love her like a devil when you get back home.
Some people may try to guess, the secret of a happiness
But some of them never learn, it's a simple thing
The secret I'm speaking of, is a woman and a man in love
The answer is in that song, Charlie always sings.
You've got to kiss an angel good mornin'
And let her know you think about her when you're gone
Kiss an angel good mornin'
And love her like a devil when you get back home.
You've got to kiss an angel good mornin'
And let her know you think about her when you're gone
Kiss an angel good mornin'
And love her like a devil when you get back home...
They wonder, how does a man get to be this way
I've always got a smilin' face, any time and any place
And everytime they ask me why, I just smile and say.
You've got to kiss an angel good mornin'
And let her know you think about her when you're gone
Kiss an angel good mornin'
And love her like a devil when you get back home.
Some people may try to guess, the secret of a happiness
But some of them never learn, it's a simple thing
The secret I'm speaking of, is a woman and a man in love
The answer is in that song, Charlie always sings.
You've got to kiss an angel good mornin'
And let her know you think about her when you're gone
Kiss an angel good mornin'
And love her like a devil when you get back home.
You've got to kiss an angel good mornin'
And let her know you think about her when you're gone
Kiss an angel good mornin'
And love her like a devil when you get back home...
I Didn't Lose Her lyrics - Conway Twitty
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...
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 is life when I want to live
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
I'm a-beggin' you friend

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
I'm beggin' you friend

She is life when I want to live
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.
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 a-beggin' you friend
Don't take her she's all I've got

She is love, she's all the love I know
She could kiss the ground in the wintertime
And make a flower grow.

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.
