Well, I was working this joint in Dallas
To make the payment on my car
Just a weekend stand with a local band
They had me playin' rhythm guitar.
Well, I was singin' some old cheatin' song
When this blue-eyed blonde came by
She said, I'm a table over in the corner
Why don't you drop around and say hi
So, I did.
Well, she was dressed like a million dollars
But she was way up outta my class
She whispered into my ear, honey I hear
A honky tonk man moves fast.
All of the sudden my body went numb
I had enough sense to see
That everything I ever wanted in life
Was coming to easy for me.
So I said, "Wait just a minute,
Wait, just a cotton-pickin' minute."
You better not get caught in the desert
Without your snake boots on
You don't lay down on the railroad tracks
'Til after the train is gone.
You don't swim out in deep water
With your pockets full of stone
You don't get caught in the desert, son,
Without your snake boots on.
Well, she was quicker that a boys good judgment
So, we were headed for the parkin' lot
When a guy in the band said, "Wait a minute, man
Lord, are you crazy or what?"
"Well, ole big bad Tex is her lover
And, he's terribly skilled with a knife
He's real particular 'bout who rides his horse
And, nobody fools with his wife."
So, I said, "Wait just a minute,
Wait just a dang minute."
You better not get caught in the desert
Without your snake boots on
You don't lay down on the railroad tracks
'Til after the train is gone.
You don't swim out in deep water
With your pockets full of stone
You don't get caught in the desert, nah,
Without your snake boots on.
You don't get caught in the desert, son,
Without your snake boots on.
Hey, watch out for that snake
I'm For Awhile lyrics - Conway Twitty
I don't want our love to be like a song,
Just long enough to hang a memory on.
I want tomorrow's sunrise to be,
for us the dawn of history.
I'm not a one night rider,
Bed and breakfast ain't my style.
I'm for awhile.
Here today, here tomorrow.
Here when the babies are grown,
Believe you me, in the 21st century,
you'll still have me for your own.
Trying to make you smile,
I'm for awhile.
I guess you could say
I'm coming on to you,
But it's a long term proposition.
I'm here to love you
And love should be forever,
Please understand my positon.
I'm not much like the lone ranger,
Disappearing ain't my style.
I'm for awhile.
Here today, here tomorrow.
Here when the babies are grown,
Believe you me,
In the 21st century,
You'll still have me for your own,
Trying to make you smile
I'm for awhile.
I don't want our love to be like a song,
Just long enough to hang a memory on...
Just long enough to hang a memory on.
I want tomorrow's sunrise to be,
for us the dawn of history.
I'm not a one night rider,
Bed and breakfast ain't my style.
I'm for awhile.
Here today, here tomorrow.
Here when the babies are grown,
Believe you me, in the 21st century,
you'll still have me for your own.
Trying to make you smile,
I'm for awhile.
I guess you could say
I'm coming on to you,
But it's a long term proposition.
I'm here to love you
And love should be forever,
Please understand my positon.
I'm not much like the lone ranger,
Disappearing ain't my style.
I'm for awhile.
Here today, here tomorrow.
Here when the babies are grown,
Believe you me,
In the 21st century,
You'll still have me for your own,
Trying to make you smile
I'm for awhile.
I don't want our love to be like a song,
Just long enough to hang a memory on...
Fifteen To Forty-Three lyrics - Conway Twitty
I just cut the string
On a dusty old shoe box
And opened a door to the past
Now I'm sittin' here with my souvenirs
And these faded old photographs.
Fightin' back tears
Lookin' back through the years
And wonderin' why dreams fade so fast
Now the young boy I see
Don't look like the me
Reflected in this old looking glass.
The man in the mirror
Sees things so much clearer
Than the boy in the pictures
With his eyes full of dreams
Oh, the men that I've tried to be
From fifteen to forty-three
Never believed that they'd end up like me.
There's that touchdown I caught
Back when I thought
I'd play for the cowboys someday
There's you holding me in my faded fatigues
Comin' home to the U.S.A.
One after another
All my sweet dreams and lovers
Pass before my tear filled eyes
Pictures of a fool
Who was selfish and cruel
Till the day he made you say goodbye.
The man in the mirror
Sees things so much clearer
Than the boy in the pictures
With his eyes full of dreams
Oh the men that I've tried to be
From fifteen to forty-three
Never believed that they'd end up like me.
Oh, I never believed I'd be lonely like me...
On a dusty old shoe box
And opened a door to the past
Now I'm sittin' here with my souvenirs
And these faded old photographs.
Fightin' back tears
Lookin' back through the years
And wonderin' why dreams fade so fast
Now the young boy I see
Don't look like the me
Reflected in this old looking glass.
The man in the mirror
Sees things so much clearer
Than the boy in the pictures
With his eyes full of dreams
Oh, the men that I've tried to be
From fifteen to forty-three
Never believed that they'd end up like me.
There's that touchdown I caught
Back when I thought
I'd play for the cowboys someday
There's you holding me in my faded fatigues
Comin' home to the U.S.A.
One after another
All my sweet dreams and lovers
Pass before my tear filled eyes
Pictures of a fool
Who was selfish and cruel
Till the day he made you say goodbye.
The man in the mirror
Sees things so much clearer
Than the boy in the pictures
With his eyes full of dreams
Oh the men that I've tried to be
From fifteen to forty-three
Never believed that they'd end up like me.
Oh, I never believed I'd be lonely like me...
That's My Job lyrics - Conway Twitty
I woke up cryin' late at night when I was very young
I had dreamed my father had passed away and gone
My world revolved around him, I couldn't lie there anymore
So I made my way down the mirrored hall
And tapped upon his door
And I said, "Daddy, I'm so afraid
How will I go on, with you gone that way?
Don't wanna cry anymore so may I stay with you?"
And he said, "That's my job, that's what I do
Everything I do is because of you
To keep you safe with me, that's my job, you see."
Later we barely got along, this teenage boy and he
Most of the fights it seems were over different dreams
We each held for me
He wanted knowledge and learning, I wanted to fly out west
I said, "I could make it out there if I just had the fare
I got half, will you loan me the rest?"
And I said, "Daddy, I'm so afraid
There's no guarantee in the plans I've made
And if I should fail, who will pay my way back home?"
And he said, "That's my job, that's what I do
Everything I do is because of you
To keep you safe with me, that's my job, you see."
Every person carves his spot and fills the hole with life
And I pray someday I might light as bright as he
Woke up early one bright fall day to spread the tragic news
After all my travel, I settled down within a mile or two
I make my livin' with words and rhymes and all this tragedy
Should go into my head and out instead as bits of poetry
But I say, "Daddy I'm so afraid
How will I go on with you gone this way?
How can I come up with a song to say, I love you?"
"That's my job, that's what I do
Everything I do is because of you
To keep you safe with me, that's my job, you see."
"Everything I do is because of you
To keep you safe with me."
I had dreamed my father had passed away and gone
My world revolved around him, I couldn't lie there anymore
So I made my way down the mirrored hall
And tapped upon his door
And I said, "Daddy, I'm so afraid
How will I go on, with you gone that way?
Don't wanna cry anymore so may I stay with you?"
And he said, "That's my job, that's what I do
Everything I do is because of you
To keep you safe with me, that's my job, you see."

Thing Of The Past lyrics - Conway Twitty
One way ticket, window seat
Heartache at 30,000 feet
The future fades into memories.
I'll get by somehow.
Three point landing at L.A.X.
Pockets filled with traveller's cheques
Passenger filled with regrets
It's all too clear to me now.
We're just like "I Love Lucy" and drive-in movies
and cars that run on regular gas.
War love letters and high school sweaters
Beetle boots and bell bottom pants.
Like autumn leaves fallin' from the trees
And all the things that weren't meant to last.
It's sad to find that you and I are nothing
But a thing of the past.
No one's waitin' to meet my plane
Two thousand miles and I feel the same.
Only the hotel clerk knows my name
And that's just fine with me.
Out the window the crowded streets are lined
with people with someone to meet.
While I sit here keepin' company
With what used to be.
We're just like "I Love Lucy" and drive- in movies
And cars that run on regular gas.
War love letters and high school sweaters.
Beetle boots and bell bottom pants.
Like autumn leaves fallin' from the trees
And all the things that weren't meant to last.
It's sad to find that you and I are nothin'
But a thing of the past.
It's sad to find that you and I are nothin'
But a thing of the past...
Heartache at 30,000 feet
The future fades into memories.
I'll get by somehow.
Three point landing at L.A.X.
Pockets filled with traveller's cheques
Passenger filled with regrets
It's all too clear to me now.
We're just like "I Love Lucy" and drive-in movies
and cars that run on regular gas.
War love letters and high school sweaters
Beetle boots and bell bottom pants.
Like autumn leaves fallin' from the trees
And all the things that weren't meant to last.
It's sad to find that you and I are nothing
But a thing of the past.
No one's waitin' to meet my plane
Two thousand miles and I feel the same.
Only the hotel clerk knows my name
And that's just fine with me.
Out the window the crowded streets are lined
with people with someone to meet.
While I sit here keepin' company
With what used to be.
We're just like "I Love Lucy" and drive- in movies
And cars that run on regular gas.
War love letters and high school sweaters.
Beetle boots and bell bottom pants.
Like autumn leaves fallin' from the trees
And all the things that weren't meant to last.
It's sad to find that you and I are nothin'
But a thing of the past.
It's sad to find that you and I are nothin'
But a thing of the past...
Desperado Love lyrics - Conway Twitty
Should I just ride in and steal you away
Don't know what else to do
I've got a desperado, love for you
You say you belong to another man
The first time we met I knew
That I have a desperado, love for you.
I know that it breaks every law
To feel the way I'm feelin'
But I want your love so desperately
I don't see the wrong in stealin'
So hold on I'm gonna shoot for the heart
Like desperados do
I've got a desperado, love for you.
It's so wrong to take what isn't mine
And head out for the border
But I can't look at you and have
Respect for law and order
So hold on I'm gonna' shoot for the heart
Like desperados do
I've got a desperado, love for you.
I've got a desperado, love for you...
Don't know what else to do
I've got a desperado, love for you
You say you belong to another man
The first time we met I knew
That I have a desperado, love for you.
I know that it breaks every law
To feel the way I'm feelin'
But I want your love so desperately
I don't see the wrong in stealin'
So hold on I'm gonna shoot for the heart
Like desperados do
I've got a desperado, love for you.
It's so wrong to take what isn't mine
And head out for the border
But I can't look at you and have
Respect for law and order
So hold on I'm gonna' shoot for the heart
Like desperados do
I've got a desperado, love for you.
I've got a desperado, love for you...
Steady As She Goes lyrics - Conway Twitty
I thought she'd never sail away
I thought her love was here to stay
I thought my arms were her safe harbor
But today a storm came up
And I'm about to lose her love
Leavin' me in troubled water
When she's gone I'll break apart
But 'til then I'll tell my heart.
Steady as she goes.
It's a hurtin' wind that blows.
You're sinking like a stone.
But heart keep holdin' on.
Steady as she goes.
Heart don't let her know.
Don't let your feelins' show
'Til she's completely gone.
Steady as she goes.
While she sails to someone else
I'll just keep it to myself
That I'd give anything to keep her
I can't change the changin' tide
I can't change her changin' mind
And tears just make the ocean deeper
'Til she's forever out of sight
I'll tell my heart to hold on tight.
Steady as she goes.
It's a hurtin' wind that blows.
You're sinkin' like a stone
but heart keep holdin' on.
Steady as she goes.
Heart don't let her know.
Don't let your feelins' show
'Til she's completely gone.
Steady as she goes.
Steady as she goes.
Heart don't let her know.
Don't let your feelins' show
'Til she's completely gone.
Steady as she goes...
I thought her love was here to stay
I thought my arms were her safe harbor
But today a storm came up
And I'm about to lose her love
Leavin' me in troubled water
When she's gone I'll break apart
But 'til then I'll tell my heart.
Steady as she goes.
It's a hurtin' wind that blows.
You're sinking like a stone.
But heart keep holdin' on.
Steady as she goes.
Heart don't let her know.
Don't let your feelins' show
'Til she's completely gone.
Steady as she goes.
While she sails to someone else
I'll just keep it to myself
That I'd give anything to keep her
I can't change the changin' tide
I can't change her changin' mind
And tears just make the ocean deeper
'Til she's forever out of sight
I'll tell my heart to hold on tight.
Steady as she goes.
It's a hurtin' wind that blows.
You're sinkin' like a stone
but heart keep holdin' on.
Steady as she goes.
Heart don't let her know.
Don't let your feelins' show
'Til she's completely gone.
Steady as she goes.
Steady as she goes.
Heart don't let her know.
Don't let your feelins' show
'Til she's completely gone.
Steady as she goes...
Fallin' For You For Years lyrics - Conway Twitty
Lookin' at us they'd think that we just met
And only been in love a night or two
They see a beautiful woman
In the shadows with a man
And all they see is a weekend rendezvous
Guess we look like cheaters
Lovers lyin' low
We must be decievers
'Cause baby they don't know
I've been fallin' for you for years
Can't get over the feel of you
Something in the way you make your moves
I've been fallin' for you for years
Runnin' deep, runnin' strong
It's been goin' on and on, for years
You make it easy to be a one woman man
Just look at you sitting there
Your eyes are talkin' in that soft and sexy way
Sayin' let's slip away, slip away somewhere
It don't take a rainy night or music in the dark
But, baby, when your body sends a message to my heart
I've been fallin' for you for years
Can't get over the feel of you
Something in the way you make your moves
I've been fallin' for you for years
Runnin' deep, runnin' strong
It's been goin' on and on and on and on.
I've been fallin' for you for years
Can't get over the feel of you
Something in the way you make your moves
I've been fallin' for you for years
Runnin' deep, runnin' strong
It's been goin' on and on and on and on and on
(Fallin' for you for years ...)
And only been in love a night or two
They see a beautiful woman
In the shadows with a man
And all they see is a weekend rendezvous
Guess we look like cheaters
Lovers lyin' low
We must be decievers
'Cause baby they don't know
I've been fallin' for you for years
Can't get over the feel of you
Something in the way you make your moves
I've been fallin' for you for years
Runnin' deep, runnin' strong
It's been goin' on and on, for years
You make it easy to be a one woman man
Just look at you sitting there
Your eyes are talkin' in that soft and sexy way
Sayin' let's slip away, slip away somewhere
It don't take a rainy night or music in the dark
But, baby, when your body sends a message to my heart
I've been fallin' for you for years
Can't get over the feel of you
Something in the way you make your moves
I've been fallin' for you for years
Runnin' deep, runnin' strong
It's been goin' on and on and on and on.
I've been fallin' for you for years
Can't get over the feel of you
Something in the way you make your moves
I've been fallin' for you for years
Runnin' deep, runnin' strong
It's been goin' on and on and on and on and on
(Fallin' for you for years ...)
Riverboat Gamblers lyrics - Conway Twitty
Like a pair of riverboat gambler
We both seen our share of losing hands
We layed our hearts out on the table
Hoping love is strong enough to win.
But when love's been dealing off the bottom
You always want to cut the cards again.
And girl, unless you're only bluffing,
This time we're both cashing in.
Like a pair of riverboat gamblers
Playin' the odds that love is coming in.
You're the queen of hearts I'm countin' on.
The one this Joker's money is on to win.
I've got a solitary feeling
I'll never have to ante up again.
If a couple of riverboat gamblers get lucky
We just might win a hand.
Once you've lost your heart to cheaters
Your dreams of winning love begin to die.
When you wake up with a stranger
You know there's no diamonds in the sky.
So girl, let's put our hands together.
We ain't got nothin' left to lose.
Except the chance that we might make it
And that's a deal we can't refuse.
Like a pair of riverboat gamblers
Playin' the odds that love is comin' in.
You're the queen of hearts I'm countin' on.
The one this Joker's money is on to win.
I've got a solitary feelin'
I'll never have to ante up again.
If a couple of riverboat gamblers get lucky
We just might win a hand.
If a couple of riverboat gamblers get lucky
A pair might win a hand...
We both seen our share of losing hands
We layed our hearts out on the table
Hoping love is strong enough to win.
But when love's been dealing off the bottom
You always want to cut the cards again.
And girl, unless you're only bluffing,
This time we're both cashing in.
Like a pair of riverboat gamblers
Playin' the odds that love is coming in.
You're the queen of hearts I'm countin' on.
The one this Joker's money is on to win.
I've got a solitary feeling
I'll never have to ante up again.
If a couple of riverboat gamblers get lucky

Once you've lost your heart to cheaters
Your dreams of winning love begin to die.

You know there's no diamonds in the sky.
So girl, let's put our hands together.

Jennifer Johnson And Me lyrics - Conway Twitty
Deep in the pocket of an old sport coat jacket,
I chanced to discover an old memory,
Three for a quarter, a black and white protrait,
Taken of Jennifer Johnson and me.
I'm in the corner with my shirt collar open
Like some Latin lover on late night TV.
Sittin' right here with her head on my shoulder,
Jennifer Johnson, she's smiling at me.
Three for a quarter, a black and white portrait.
Jen, closed the curtain so no one could see.
Hey, kiss me quick, 'cause the red light is flashin'
Flashin' on Jennifer Johnson and me.
It must have been summer, Nineteen Sixty-Seven,
The Beatles were singin' that love's all you need.
I held her hand while we walked through the arcade,
Two young believers on a three dollar spree.
Later that night we were parked in the darkness,
I felt her warmth in the cool evenin' breeze,
I told her then that I'd love her forever,
Forever, for Jennifer Johnson and me.
Three for a quarter, a black and white portrait,
Jennifer Johnson, what a sweet memory.
I saved the picture in my sportcoat pocket,
Jennifer Johnson, did you save one of me?
I saved her picture in my sportcoat pocket,
Jennifer Johnson, did you save one of me?..
I chanced to discover an old memory,
Three for a quarter, a black and white protrait,
Taken of Jennifer Johnson and me.
I'm in the corner with my shirt collar open
Like some Latin lover on late night TV.
Sittin' right here with her head on my shoulder,
Jennifer Johnson, she's smiling at me.
Three for a quarter, a black and white portrait.
Jen, closed the curtain so no one could see.
Hey, kiss me quick, 'cause the red light is flashin'
Flashin' on Jennifer Johnson and me.
It must have been summer, Nineteen Sixty-Seven,
The Beatles were singin' that love's all you need.
I held her hand while we walked through the arcade,
Two young believers on a three dollar spree.
Later that night we were parked in the darkness,
I felt her warmth in the cool evenin' breeze,
I told her then that I'd love her forever,
Forever, for Jennifer Johnson and me.
Three for a quarter, a black and white portrait,
Jennifer Johnson, what a sweet memory.
I saved the picture in my sportcoat pocket,
Jennifer Johnson, did you save one of me?
I saved her picture in my sportcoat pocket,
Jennifer Johnson, did you save one of me?..
You're The Best I've Never Had lyrics - Conway Twitty
At seventeen, in faded jeans
I was yours, and you were mine
Close enough to call it love
But, we never crossed the line.
After knowing you, love's been nothing new
I've had it good, and I've had it bad
But, after all these years, you still bring the tears
You're the best I never had.
A perfect start for virgin hearts
But, it ended all so fast
Old enough to have been the first
But, too young to make it last.
I never let it show, ah, I should've let you know
I never wanted someone so bad
Lookin' back, I've learned, with every bridge I've burned
You're the best I never had.
The flame is gone, but the fire burns on
Sometimes sweet, and sometimes sad
Girl, you'll always be a haunting mystery
You're the best I never had.
And, after all these years, you still bring the tears
You're the best I never had...
I was yours, and you were mine
Close enough to call it love
But, we never crossed the line.
After knowing you, love's been nothing new
I've had it good, and I've had it bad
But, after all these years, you still bring the tears
You're the best I never had.
A perfect start for virgin hearts
But, it ended all so fast
Old enough to have been the first
But, too young to make it last.
I never let it show, ah, I should've let you know
I never wanted someone so bad
Lookin' back, I've learned, with every bridge I've burned
You're the best I never had.
The flame is gone, but the fire burns on
Sometimes sweet, and sometimes sad
Girl, you'll always be a haunting mystery
You're the best I never had.
And, after all these years, you still bring the tears
You're the best I never had...
You Can't Say I've Never Tried lyrics - Conway Twitty
I only wish you'd listen,
I have never told you lies.
These things you think you're missin'
In the world out there do not satisfy.
I will not blame you if you leave
This has never been your home
But I'll always make you welcome here
'Til you can make it on your own.
When it all is goin' crazy
And you've got no place to hide
As I steal across your memory
You can't say I haven't tried.
I believe you really love me
But I guess what's done is done
They say time can make a difference
But a thousand years wouldn't change it none.
So, I guess there ain't much else to say
I won't keep you from your dreams
Just remember what you want the most
Isn't always what it seems.
When it all is goin' crazy
And you've got no place to hide
As I steal across your memory
You can't say I haven't tried...
I have never told you lies.
These things you think you're missin'
In the world out there do not satisfy.
I will not blame you if you leave
This has never been your home
But I'll always make you welcome here
'Til you can make it on your own.
When it all is goin' crazy
And you've got no place to hide
As I steal across your memory
You can't say I haven't tried.
I believe you really love me
But I guess what's done is done
They say time can make a difference
But a thousand years wouldn't change it none.
So, I guess there ain't much else to say
I won't keep you from your dreams
Just remember what you want the most
Isn't always what it seems.
When it all is goin' crazy
And you've got no place to hide
As I steal across your memory
You can't say I haven't tried...
If I Didn't Love You lyric - Conway Twitty
I can't believe it's really me telling you goodbye
But, I've run out of reasons to defend your alibis
I can't go on pretending everything is still okay
Now, I know the truth behind all the games you've played
It wouldn't be so hard for me to turn my heart away
If I didn't love you.
Looking back, it's easy now, for me to understand
Why you got so angry when I asked you where you'd been
You told me my suspicions were only jealousy
And, you used the way I trusted you to make a fool of me
You closed my eyes to lies that I could never have believed
If I didn't love you.
If I didn't love you
I'd have walked away a long, long time ago
If I didn't love you
I never would have let you hurt me so.
Now, the time has come for me to tell you that we're through
Leave this broken dream behind, and go find someone new
I can see that it would be an easy thing to do
If I didn't love you.
If I didn't love you
I'd have walked away a long, long time ago
If I didn't love you
I never would have let you hurt me so.
If I didn't love you.
If I didn't love you.
If I didn't love you
But, I've run out of reasons to defend your alibis
I can't go on pretending everything is still okay
Now, I know the truth behind all the games you've played
It wouldn't be so hard for me to turn my heart away
If I didn't love you.
Looking back, it's easy now, for me to understand
Why you got so angry when I asked you where you'd been
You told me my suspicions were only jealousy
And, you used the way I trusted you to make a fool of me
You closed my eyes to lies that I could never have believed
If I didn't love you.
If I didn't love you
I'd have walked away a long, long time ago
If I didn't love you
I never would have let you hurt me so.
Now, the time has come for me to tell you that we're through
Leave this broken dream behind, and go find someone new
I can see that it would be an easy thing to do
If I didn't love you.
If I didn't love you
I'd have walked away a long, long time ago
If I didn't love you
I never would have let you hurt me so.
If I didn't love you.
If I didn't love you.
If I didn't love you
Only The Shadows Know lyrics - Conway Twitty
Two bodies silhouetting on the wall
Two candles light the place where shadows fall
Hiding in darkness like two theives in the night
Stealing together 'til the morning light
Then as the morning unfolds
Two mystery lovers touch and go
Knowing full well their secret goes untold
Only the shadows know
Only the shadows know
They know that shadows wouldn't tell a soul
They pull the shades and then they lose control
Heartbeat for heartbeat love goes on and on
Undercover 'til the night is gone
Then as the morning unfolds
Two mystery lovers touch and go
Knowing full well their secret goes untold
Only the shadows know
Then as the morning unfolds
Two mystery lovers touch and go
Knowing full well their secret goes untold
Only the shadows know
Only the shadows know
Two candles light the place where shadows fall
Hiding in darkness like two theives in the night
Stealing together 'til the morning light
Then as the morning unfolds
Two mystery lovers touch and go
Knowing full well their secret goes untold
Only the shadows know
Only the shadows know
They know that shadows wouldn't tell a soul
They pull the shades and then they lose control
Heartbeat for heartbeat love goes on and on
Undercover 'til the night is gone
Then as the morning unfolds
Two mystery lovers touch and go
Knowing full well their secret goes untold
Only the shadows know
Then as the morning unfolds
Two mystery lovers touch and go
Knowing full well their secret goes untold
Only the shadows know
Only the shadows know
Legend And The Man lyrics - Conway Twitty
They all reach to touch him
As he walks out on the stage
They came to see the legend
And to hear the legend sing
While the men sit there applauding
Ladies love him with their eyes
And he looks just like a legend should
Up there in all those lights
But they don't know, after the show
How fast the legend fades
How he reaches for the bottle
When guitars are put away
And the photograph of the love he had
Fills his trembling hand
There's a lonely world of difference
Between the legend and the man
He's won all the shiny statues
All the records pressed in gold
But he lost what really matters
What he really wanted most
And tonight in some big city
Lord, he'll drive the crowd insane
They'll feel the pleasure of his songs
But they won't feel his pain
'Cause they don't know after the show
How fast the legend fades
How he reaches for the bottle
When guitars are put away
And the photograph of the love he had
Fills his trembling hand
There's a lonely world of difference
Between the legend and the man
There's a lonely world of difference
Between the legend and the man
As he walks out on the stage
They came to see the legend
And to hear the legend sing
While the men sit there applauding
Ladies love him with their eyes
And he looks just like a legend should
Up there in all those lights
But they don't know, after the show
How fast the legend fades
How he reaches for the bottle
When guitars are put away
And the photograph of the love he had
Fills his trembling hand
There's a lonely world of difference
Between the legend and the man
He's won all the shiny statues
All the records pressed in gold
But he lost what really matters
What he really wanted most
And tonight in some big city
Lord, he'll drive the crowd insane
They'll feel the pleasure of his songs
But they won't feel his pain
'Cause they don't know after the show
How fast the legend fades
How he reaches for the bottle
When guitars are put away
And the photograph of the love he had
Fills his trembling hand
There's a lonely world of difference
Between the legend and the man
There's a lonely world of difference
Between the legend and the man
All I Can Be Is A Sweet Memory lyrics - Conway Twitty
All I can be is a sweet memory
That drifts through your mind from time to time
I could never be more than a knock on your door.
Just a shadow that's gone with the sunshine.
For you know I'm not free and I never can be
And you're bound to get restless in time.
All I can be is a sweet memory
That drifts through your mind.
Tonight I'll shed a silent tear while lying here with you.
The sands of time have trickled down to just a precious few.
You're young and so beautiful and I'm so glad I'm here
But the ending painfully clear.
All I can be is a sweet memory
Of someone you had to leave behind.
Who loves you and needs you but never could give you
A ring for your finger so fine.
So tonight let's just borrow one memory for tomorrow
'Til we find we've run out of time.
All I can be is a sweet memory
That drifts through your mind.
All I can be is a sweet memory
that drifts through your mind.
That drifts through your mind from time to time
I could never be more than a knock on your door.
Just a shadow that's gone with the sunshine.
For you know I'm not free and I never can be
And you're bound to get restless in time.
All I can be is a sweet memory
That drifts through your mind.
Tonight I'll shed a silent tear while lying here with you.
The sands of time have trickled down to just a precious few.
You're young and so beautiful and I'm so glad I'm here
But the ending painfully clear.
All I can be is a sweet memory
Of someone you had to leave behind.
Who loves you and needs you but never could give you
A ring for your finger so fine.
So tonight let's just borrow one memory for tomorrow
'Til we find we've run out of time.
All I can be is a sweet memory
That drifts through your mind.
All I can be is a sweet memory
that drifts through your mind.
Keep On Chasin' Rainbows lyrics - Conway Twitty
I ran after faded fantasies.
Wished on many fallin' stars.
Lost my fast and hungry lust
In the backseat of old cars.
I learned to tell right from wrong
And the good times from sin.
And to keep on chasin' rainbows
'Cause I catch one now and then.
I put myself out on a limb
Without ever thinking twice.
And more than once I lost it all
On just one roll of the dice.
When my folded money turns to change
And I lose more than I win.
I keep on chasin' rainbows
'Cause I catch one now and then.
I watched for the sunlight
As every storm passed through.
Searchin' for that pot of gold.
That's how I found you.
You're the sweetest dream
This lucky fool as ever stumbled in.
Help me chase my rainbows
As we'll catch one now and then.
You're the sweetest dream
This lucky fool has ever stumbled in.
Help me chase my rainbows
And we'll catch one now and then...
Wished on many fallin' stars.
Lost my fast and hungry lust
In the backseat of old cars.
I learned to tell right from wrong
And the good times from sin.
And to keep on chasin' rainbows
'Cause I catch one now and then.
I put myself out on a limb
Without ever thinking twice.
And more than once I lost it all
On just one roll of the dice.
When my folded money turns to change
And I lose more than I win.
I keep on chasin' rainbows
'Cause I catch one now and then.
I watched for the sunlight
As every storm passed through.
Searchin' for that pot of gold.
That's how I found you.
You're the sweetest dream
This lucky fool as ever stumbled in.
Help me chase my rainbows
As we'll catch one now and then.
You're the sweetest dream
This lucky fool has ever stumbled in.
Help me chase my rainbows
And we'll catch one now and then...
True True Love Never Dies lyrics - Conway Twitty
There are so many roads we will travel
And so many mountains we'll climb.
We'll pledge our love to each other
Until the end of time.
As I place my ring on your finger
And swear '''til death do us part.''
You're the one love in my lifetime
The only song in my heart.
And the song never ends with the singer.
The truth out-lives a lie.
The dream lives on when the dreamer is gone
And true, true love never dies.
I will shine for you like a beacon.
A lighthouse on the shore.
I will keep you safe in my harbor
Now and forever more.
And the song never ends with the singer.
The truth out-lives a lie.
The dream lives on when the dreamer is gone
And true, true love never dies.
The song never ends with the singer.
The truth out-lives a lie.
The dream lives on when the dreamer is gone
And true, true love never dies...
And so many mountains we'll climb.
We'll pledge our love to each other
Until the end of time.
As I place my ring on your finger
And swear '''til death do us part.''
You're the one love in my lifetime
The only song in my heart.
And the song never ends with the singer.
The truth out-lives a lie.
The dream lives on when the dreamer is gone
And true, true love never dies.
I will shine for you like a beacon.
A lighthouse on the shore.
I will keep you safe in my harbor
Now and forever more.
And the song never ends with the singer.
The truth out-lives a lie.
The dream lives on when the dreamer is gone
And true, true love never dies.
The song never ends with the singer.
The truth out-lives a lie.
The dream lives on when the dreamer is gone
And true, true love never dies...
What's A Memory Like You lyrics - Conway Twitty
You know you shouldn't be here.
What am I suppose to do?
You know I've found a new love.
And I'm trying to be true.
Didn't you say that we were over?
Why do you keep hanging on?
What makes you think you're welcome?
Can't you just leave us alone?
What's a memory like you
Doing in a love like this?
She thinks we're all through
But that's not the way it is.
When I hold her in my arms
It's your lips I still kiss
What's a memory like you
Doing in a love like this?
Don't you know it would hurt her
To find you here with me.
Why make me remember
The way it used to be?
Can't you see that she can love me
In a way you never could.
And I really want to love her.
Ain't it time you left for good?
What's a memory like you
Doing in a love like this?
She thinks we're all through
But that's not the way it is.
When I hold her in my arms
It's your lips I still kiss.
What's a memory like you
Doing in a love like this?
What's a memory like you
Doing in a love like, like this?
What am I suppose to do?
You know I've found a new love.
And I'm trying to be true.
Didn't you say that we were over?
Why do you keep hanging on?
What makes you think you're welcome?
Can't you just leave us alone?
What's a memory like you
Doing in a love like this?
She thinks we're all through
But that's not the way it is.
When I hold her in my arms
It's your lips I still kiss
What's a memory like you
Doing in a love like this?
Don't you know it would hurt her
To find you here with me.
Why make me remember
The way it used to be?
Can't you see that she can love me
In a way you never could.
And I really want to love her.
Ain't it time you left for good?
What's a memory like you
Doing in a love like this?
She thinks we're all through
But that's not the way it is.
When I hold her in my arms
It's your lips I still kiss.
What's a memory like you
Doing in a love like this?
What's a memory like you
Doing in a love like, like this?
You'll Never Know How Much I Needed You Today lyrics - Conway Twitty
Have a seat, I reached for you at dawn
Felt the emptiness beside me
Remembered you were gone
In the cold that old blanket
Couldn't give the warmth you gave
You'll never know how much I needed you today
The touch of you still lingers on my mind
That tender touch I need so much to feel just one more time
Your picture seemed to whisper things I wanted you to say
You'll never know how much I needed you today
I hurt to have you hold me all day through
And the hunger just got stronger with every thought of you
So even if tomorrow this feeling fades away
You'll never know how much I needed you today
You'll never know how much I needed you today
Felt the emptiness beside me
Remembered you were gone
In the cold that old blanket
Couldn't give the warmth you gave
You'll never know how much I needed you today
The touch of you still lingers on my mind
That tender touch I need so much to feel just one more time
Your picture seemed to whisper things I wanted you to say
You'll never know how much I needed you today
I hurt to have you hold me all day through
And the hunger just got stronger with every thought of you
So even if tomorrow this feeling fades away
You'll never know how much I needed you today
You'll never know how much I needed you today
Lay Me Down Carolina lyrics - Conway Twitty
I can hear the rain a-tappin' on a tin roof down in Charlotte.
It's Sunday morning what a peaceful sound.
The closest thing to being there is looking through the pictures.
Worn and wrinkled from bein' lost and found.
The geese are flyin' south it must be winter in Vancouver.
The fallin' leaves, the seasons come and go.
The years are rolling by and I'm runnin' on a memory.
But lately I've been runnin' kind of low.
Lay me down Carolina, let me rest my weary bones.
In a world so full of people why do I feel alone?
Lift me up, give me direction 'til I know I'm homeward bound.
Lay Me Down Carolina, lay me down.
Life may take you anywhere and leave you cold and stranded.
But somehow love will always take you home.
Like roots the winding river's all run back to Carolina
And like a ship I'm drifting too far from the shore.
Lay me down Carolina let me rest my weary bones.
In a world so full of people why do I feel alone?
Lift me up, give me direction 'til I know I'm homeward bound
And lay me down Carolina, lay me down.
Carolina let me rest my weary bones.
In a world so full of people why do I feel alone?
Lift me up, give me direction 'til I know I'm homeward bound.
And lay me down Carolina, lay me down...
It's Sunday morning what a peaceful sound.
The closest thing to being there is looking through the pictures.
Worn and wrinkled from bein' lost and found.
The geese are flyin' south it must be winter in Vancouver.
The fallin' leaves, the seasons come and go.
The years are rolling by and I'm runnin' on a memory.
But lately I've been runnin' kind of low.
Lay me down Carolina, let me rest my weary bones.
In a world so full of people why do I feel alone?
Lift me up, give me direction 'til I know I'm homeward bound.
Lay Me Down Carolina, lay me down.
Life may take you anywhere and leave you cold and stranded.
But somehow love will always take you home.
Like roots the winding river's all run back to Carolina
And like a ship I'm drifting too far from the shore.
Lay me down Carolina let me rest my weary bones.
In a world so full of people why do I feel alone?
Lift me up, give me direction 'til I know I'm homeward bound
And lay me down Carolina, lay me down.
Carolina let me rest my weary bones.
In a world so full of people why do I feel alone?
Lift me up, give me direction 'til I know I'm homeward bound.
And lay me down Carolina, lay me down...
She Did lyrics - Conway Twitty
From the day she said "I do" to me, she did.
Promised me that she'd be true and she did.
But I kept giving in to sin. I always let temptation win.
Who forgave time and again? she did.
Who used to pray I'd change my ways? she did.
Spent years of empty nights and days, she did.
If anyone had a care for me, if anyone ever cried for me,
If anyone had a right to leave, she did.
I guess she finally had enough
Because she found someone else
To love and nothing I could do could make her stay.
If I'd been the man I should have been
She never would have wanted him.
She wouldn't be there standing in that wedding dress today.
But he asked her to say "I do", and she did.
Promised him that she'd be true, and she is.
And look who's falling all apart
The one who caused it from the start.
Never thought she'd break my heart but she did.
And look who's falling all apart
The one who caused it from the start.
Never thought she'd break my heart, but she did...
Promised me that she'd be true and she did.
But I kept giving in to sin. I always let temptation win.
Who forgave time and again? she did.
Who used to pray I'd change my ways? she did.
Spent years of empty nights and days, she did.
If anyone had a care for me, if anyone ever cried for me,
If anyone had a right to leave, she did.
I guess she finally had enough
Because she found someone else
To love and nothing I could do could make her stay.
If I'd been the man I should have been
She never would have wanted him.
She wouldn't be there standing in that wedding dress today.
But he asked her to say "I do", and she did.
Promised him that she'd be true, and she is.
And look who's falling all apart
The one who caused it from the start.
Never thought she'd break my heart but she did.
And look who's falling all apart
The one who caused it from the start.
Never thought she'd break my heart, but she did...
I'm The Man In The Song lyrics - Conway Twitty
I've never had a way with words
To say just how I feel.
But the love that I have for you
Could never be more real
Turn the radio up loud
And lay down next to me
And listen to the words the singer sings.
'Cause I'm the man in the song.
He's found the words
I've been searchin' for so long.
Everytime he sings he needs you
And his love for you is strong.
Think of me I'm the man in the song.
(Here him sing)
He's been waitin' for you all his life.
(Here him sing)
He's found heaven in your arms tonight.
The most beautiful girl in the world has come his way
And he's telling you the words I want to say.
'Cause I'm the man in the song.
He's found the words
I've been searchin' for so long.
Everytime he sings he needs you
And his love for you is strong.
Think of me I'm the man in the song.
I'm the man in the song.
He's found the words
I've been searchin' for so long.
Everytime he sings he needs you
And his love for you is strong.
Think of me I'm the man in the song...
To say just how I feel.
But the love that I have for you
Could never be more real
Turn the radio up loud
And lay down next to me
And listen to the words the singer sings.
'Cause I'm the man in the song.
He's found the words
I've been searchin' for so long.
Everytime he sings he needs you
And his love for you is strong.
Think of me I'm the man in the song.
(Here him sing)
He's been waitin' for you all his life.
(Here him sing)
He's found heaven in your arms tonight.
The most beautiful girl in the world has come his way
And he's telling you the words I want to say.
'Cause I'm the man in the song.
He's found the words
I've been searchin' for so long.
Everytime he sings he needs you
And his love for you is strong.
Think of me I'm the man in the song.
I'm the man in the song.
He's found the words
I've been searchin' for so long.
Everytime he sings he needs you
And his love for you is strong.
Think of me I'm the man in the song...
Baby I'm-A Want You lyrics - Conway Twitty
Baby, I'm a-want you
Baby, I'm a-need you.
You're the only one
I care enough to hurt about.
Lately I'm a crazy but I just can't live
Without your lovin' and affection.
Givin' me direction like a guiding light
To help me through my darkest hours.

Just emotions passing by.
Feeling all the while
But never really knowing why.

Don't Call Him A Cowboy lyrics - Conway Twitty
So you came from New York city
And you want to see the sights
You've heard all about those cowboys
And those crazy Texas nights
I see you've got your eye on something
Leaning on the bar
But the toughest ride he's ever had
Was in his foreign car
So don't call him a cowboy
Until you've seen him ride
'Cause a Stetson hat and those fancy boots
Don't tell ya what's inside no
And if he ain't good in the saddle
Lord, you won't be satisfied
So don't call him a cowboy
Until you've seen him ride
He's the Hollywood idea
Of the wild andd wooly west
In his french designer blue jeans
And his custom tailored vest
You think he's the real thing
But I think you oughta know
He can't even make it through
A one night rodeo. No.
So don't call him a cowboy
Until you've seen him ride
'Cause a Stetson hat and those fancy boots
Don't tell ya what's inside. No.
And if he ain't good in the saddle
Lord, you won't be satisfied
So don't call him a cowboy
Until you've seen him ride
Don't call him a cowboy
Until you've seen him ride
'Cause a Stetson hat and those fancy boots
Don't tell ya what's inside. no.
And if he ain't good in the saddle
Lord, you won't be satisfied
So don't call him a cowboy
Until you've seen him ride
Don't call him a cowboy
Until you've seen him ride...
And you want to see the sights
You've heard all about those cowboys
And those crazy Texas nights

Somebody Lied lyrics - Conway Twitty
Hello, yeah, this is me
Lord, it's been a long, long time
I know this ain't no social call
So, go ahead, get it off your mind
You heard what? Well, it ain't true
I was here most all last night
I got over you the day you left
Could it be somebody lied?
You heard what? That I was cryin'?
I haven't shed a tear in years
That I spoke your name? Well, that's insane
I've hardly noticed you're not here
I showed your picture to some stranger
Don't you think I've got no pride?
They've been here at home, face down on a shelf
Lord, I bet somebody lied
But if it were true, would it matter to you?
Would it change the way you feel?
If the rumors were right, would you be here tonight
To help this old heart heal?
Well, don't worry, it wasn't me
Just someone whose world was torn in two
Someone who looked a lot like me
And loved someone like you
Someone who looked a lot like me
And still loves someone like you
Lord, it's been a long, long time
I know this ain't no social call
So, go ahead, get it off your mind
You heard what? Well, it ain't true
I was here most all last night
I got over you the day you left
Could it be somebody lied?
You heard what? That I was cryin'?
I haven't shed a tear in years
That I spoke your name? Well, that's insane
I've hardly noticed you're not here
I showed your picture to some stranger
Don't you think I've got no pride?
They've been here at home, face down on a shelf
Lord, I bet somebody lied
But if it were true, would it matter to you?
Would it change the way you feel?
If the rumors were right, would you be here tonight
To help this old heart heal?
Well, don't worry, it wasn't me
Just someone whose world was torn in two
Someone who looked a lot like me
And loved someone like you
Someone who looked a lot like me
And still loves someone like you
Between Blue Eyes And Jeans lyrics - Conway Twitty
Somewhere between her blue eyes and jeans
There's a heart, that's been broken
Along with her dreams.
And tonight she's out dancing
Drinking and thinking
Feeling a feeling,
Between her blue eyes and jeans.
She looks just like an angel
In a big ole cloud of lonesome
Reflecting her memory
Round a golden wedding ring.
And tonight some dance hall doctor
Might break the chains that locked her
To that lonesome old feeling
Between her blue eyes and jeans.
Somewhere between, her blue eyes and jeans
There's a heart, that's been broken
Along with her dreams
And tonight some dance hall doctor
Might break the chains that locked her
To that lonesome old feeling
Between her blue eyes and jeans.
Somewhere between, her blue eyes and jeans
There's a heart, that's been broken
Along with her dreams.
And tonight some dance hall doctor
Might break the chains that locked her
To that lonesome old feeling
Between her blue eyes and jeans.
She's healing a feeling
Between her blue eyes and jeans...
There's a heart, that's been broken
Along with her dreams.
And tonight she's out dancing
Drinking and thinking
Feeling a feeling,
Between her blue eyes and jeans.
She looks just like an angel
In a big ole cloud of lonesome
Reflecting her memory
Round a golden wedding ring.
And tonight some dance hall doctor
Might break the chains that locked her
To that lonesome old feeling
Between her blue eyes and jeans.
Somewhere between, her blue eyes and jeans
There's a heart, that's been broken
Along with her dreams
And tonight some dance hall doctor
Might break the chains that locked her
To that lonesome old feeling
Between her blue eyes and jeans.
Somewhere between, her blue eyes and jeans
There's a heart, that's been broken
Along with her dreams.
And tonight some dance hall doctor
Might break the chains that locked her
To that lonesome old feeling
Between her blue eyes and jeans.
She's healing a feeling
Between her blue eyes and jeans...
Note lyrics - Conway Twitty
The note was short, but Lord so strong
It simply said, I can't go on
And live a lie with someone I don't love
She couldn't tell me face to face
Oh but how my world was changed
By the hand that held the pen
That wrote the words that broke the heart
Of the one, the only one that really loves her.
My tears fell down like fallin' rain
But they can't wash away the pain
How will I go to sleep without her in my arms?
She never meant to break my heart
But how my world was torn apart
By the hand that held the pen
That wrote the words that broke the heart
Of the one, the only one that really loves her.
With one stroke of the pen she wrote off all my dreams
Erasing all the plans we made together
I'm the one that is to blame
Oh but how my world was changed
By the hand that held the pen
That wrote the words that broke the heart
Of the one, the only one that really loves her...
It simply said, I can't go on
And live a lie with someone I don't love
She couldn't tell me face to face
Oh but how my world was changed
By the hand that held the pen
That wrote the words that broke the heart
Of the one, the only one that really loves her.
My tears fell down like fallin' rain
But they can't wash away the pain
How will I go to sleep without her in my arms?
She never meant to break my heart
But how my world was torn apart
By the hand that held the pen
That wrote the words that broke the heart
Of the one, the only one that really loves her.
With one stroke of the pen she wrote off all my dreams
Erasing all the plans we made together
I'm the one that is to blame
Oh but how my world was changed
By the hand that held the pen
That wrote the words that broke the heart
Of the one, the only one that really loves her...
Whichever One Comes First lyrics - Conway Twitty
That little band of gold left a ring around her finger
First time she took it off in seven years
The only man that ever loved her left her for another
Now she's had her fill of lonely nights and cryin' bitter tears.
So she puts on her make-up, takes her gown down from the closet
And meets the baby sitter at the door
Then she gets a scary feelin' wonderin' if she's still appealin'
'Cause tonight she's goin' places she ain't never been before.
She's lookin' for those long forgotten feelin's
Hopin' this time they're a blessing not a curse
She's lookin' for a love to last forever
Or till mornin', whichever one comes first.
In the dim light of a barroom she sits down at a table
Then looks around in hopes she'll see a friend
But the world is full of strangers when you have to start all over
Back on your own and learnin' how to look for love again.
She's lookin' for those long forgotten feelin's
Hopin' this time they're a blessing not a curse
She's lookin' for a love to last forever
Or till mornin', whichever one comes first...
First time she took it off in seven years
The only man that ever loved her left her for another
Now she's had her fill of lonely nights and cryin' bitter tears.
So she puts on her make-up, takes her gown down from the closet
And meets the baby sitter at the door
Then she gets a scary feelin' wonderin' if she's still appealin'
'Cause tonight she's goin' places she ain't never been before.
She's lookin' for those long forgotten feelin's
Hopin' this time they're a blessing not a curse
She's lookin' for a love to last forever
Or till mornin', whichever one comes first.
In the dim light of a barroom she sits down at a table
Then looks around in hopes she'll see a friend
But the world is full of strangers when you have to start all over
Back on your own and learnin' how to look for love again.
She's lookin' for those long forgotten feelin's
Hopin' this time they're a blessing not a curse
She's lookin' for a love to last forever
Or till mornin', whichever one comes first...
Everyone Has Someone They Can't Forget lyrics - Conway Twitty
She gently opens up her scrapbook and a faded rose falls out
It's the one he gave to her on their last date
But his memory hasn't faded; she's not over him yet
Everyone has someone they can't forget.
It's been nine years since he saw her, but he keeps on goin' back
To places where they made their sweet memories
And he keeps her worn-out picture in a dresser by his bed
Everyone has someone they can't forget.
Everyone remembers someone who used to care
We all carry memories of someone somewhere.
I believe you really love me but every now and then
I can see an old flame there in your eyes
But he's only a memory, I have one myself
Everyone has someone they can't forget.
Everyone has someone they can't forget...
It's the one he gave to her on their last date
But his memory hasn't faded; she's not over him yet
Everyone has someone they can't forget.
It's been nine years since he saw her, but he keeps on goin' back
To places where they made their sweet memories
And he keeps her worn-out picture in a dresser by his bed
Everyone has someone they can't forget.
Everyone remembers someone who used to care
We all carry memories of someone somewhere.
I believe you really love me but every now and then
I can see an old flame there in your eyes
But he's only a memory, I have one myself
Everyone has someone they can't forget.
Everyone has someone they can't forget...
Those Eyes lyrics - Conway Twitty
God gave some a way of walkin'
Others have the gift of talkin'
They've all got a special way to please.
Some men fall for a pretty face
Others go for silk and lace
I bet he knew He'd bring me to my knees
When he gave her.
Those eyes, those eyes
Make me do most anything they want me to do
When I look in
Those eyes, those eyes
I know I will never say goodbye when I look into
Those eyes.
There's been times I thought of leavin'
Find another place for breathin'
After all I'm just a normal man.
I thought by now I would have done it
Somethings always kept me from it
The reason isn't hard to understand when I look in.
Those eyes, those eyes
Make me do most anything they want me to do
When I look in
Those eyes, those eyes
I know I will never say goodbye when I look into
Those eyes.
Oh, I don't know what you see in me
But you keep on pleasin' me
All my life I've been satisfied just to look in.
Those eyes (they turn me around)
Those eyes (they melt me down)
Make me do most anything they want me to do
When I look in
Those eyes (they get to me)
Those eyes (they set me free)
I know I will never say goodbye when I look into
Those eyes...
Others have the gift of talkin'
They've all got a special way to please.
Some men fall for a pretty face
Others go for silk and lace
I bet he knew He'd bring me to my knees
When he gave her.
Those eyes, those eyes
Make me do most anything they want me to do
When I look in
Those eyes, those eyes
I know I will never say goodbye when I look into
Those eyes.
There's been times I thought of leavin'
Find another place for breathin'
After all I'm just a normal man.
I thought by now I would have done it
Somethings always kept me from it
The reason isn't hard to understand when I look in.
Those eyes, those eyes
Make me do most anything they want me to do
When I look in
Those eyes, those eyes
I know I will never say goodbye when I look into
Those eyes.
Oh, I don't know what you see in me
But you keep on pleasin' me
All my life I've been satisfied just to look in.
Those eyes (they turn me around)
Those eyes (they melt me down)
Make me do most anything they want me to do
When I look in
Those eyes (they get to me)
Those eyes (they set me free)
I know I will never say goodbye when I look into
Those eyes...
Except For You lyrics - Conway Twitty
Except for you, I've never known what love is
Or how it feels to have a dream come true
But now I find my world no longer lonely
The way that it would be except for you.
One by one you mended all the pieces
Of a heart that someone broke in two
You filled my life with happiness and sunshine
That I never would have known except for you.
You brought all the rainbow colors to a world of solid blue
There's nothin' prettier than rainbows, except for you
And so my love I wanted just to tell you
This old heart won't beat again, except for you.
My old heart won't beat again, except for you...
Or how it feels to have a dream come true
But now I find my world no longer lonely
The way that it would be except for you.
One by one you mended all the pieces
Of a heart that someone broke in two
You filled my life with happiness and sunshine
That I never would have known except for you.
You brought all the rainbow colors to a world of solid blue
There's nothin' prettier than rainbows, except for you
And so my love I wanted just to tell you
This old heart won't beat again, except for you.
My old heart won't beat again, except for you...
Green Eyes lyrics - Conway Twitty
It's not easy
Lettin' go completely
And fightin' off the jealously
That comes with losin' you
You say you wanna be free
From the promises you made me
You wanna take the love you gave me
And give it to your someone new.
You got my green eyes cryin' those blue tears
Wishin' I could be with you tears
The whole night through
You got my green eyes cryin' those blue tears
Cryin' what will I do tears without you.
This is all wrong
Losin' love we had for so long
Can't we try again to hold on?
Instead of saying it's the end
I will free you
But baby if you ever need to
There's a trail of tears to lead you
Back into my arms again.
You got my green eyes cryin' those blue tears
Wishin' I could be with you tears
The whole night through
You got my green eyes cryin' those blue tears
Cryin' what will I do tears without you.
You got my green eyes cryin' those blue tears
Cryin' what will I do tears without you...
Lettin' go completely
And fightin' off the jealously
That comes with losin' you
You say you wanna be free
From the promises you made me
You wanna take the love you gave me
And give it to your someone new.
You got my green eyes cryin' those blue tears
Wishin' I could be with you tears
The whole night through
You got my green eyes cryin' those blue tears
Cryin' what will I do tears without you.
This is all wrong
Losin' love we had for so long
Can't we try again to hold on?
Instead of saying it's the end
I will free you
But baby if you ever need to
There's a trail of tears to lead you
Back into my arms again.
You got my green eyes cryin' those blue tears
Wishin' I could be with you tears
The whole night through
You got my green eyes cryin' those blue tears
Cryin' what will I do tears without you.
You got my green eyes cryin' those blue tears
Cryin' what will I do tears without you...
Take It Like A Man lyrics - Conway Twitty
Daddy told me a man must be strong
And hold what he feels inside
Women want heroes with nerves made of steel
Sittin' tall on the white horse they ride.
So, I won't cry when you say goodbye,
I'll just let you go
I'll stick to my guns,
Like father like son.
I'll take it like a man
And watch you walk away
I'll take it like a man
You'll never know I feel the blow
I should get down on my knees
But I was raised to take a stand
Hide my tears and take it like a man.
Daddy told me don't ever show pain
'Cause a real man will never give in
But the lessons he taught me just get in the way
With the threads of our love wearing thin.
The family tradition
Taught me to be proud
But what good is pride
If it kills me inside to.
Take it like a man
And watch you walk away
I'll take it like a man
You'll never know I feel the blow
I should get down on my knees
But I was raised to take a stand
Hide my tears and take it like a man.
I'd get down on my knees
But I was raised to take a stand
Hide my tears and take it like a man...
And hold what he feels inside
Women want heroes with nerves made of steel
Sittin' tall on the white horse they ride.
So, I won't cry when you say goodbye,
I'll just let you go
I'll stick to my guns,
Like father like son.
I'll take it like a man
And watch you walk away
I'll take it like a man
You'll never know I feel the blow
I should get down on my knees
But I was raised to take a stand
Hide my tears and take it like a man.
Daddy told me don't ever show pain
'Cause a real man will never give in
But the lessons he taught me just get in the way
With the threads of our love wearing thin.
The family tradition
Taught me to be proud
But what good is pride
If it kills me inside to.
Take it like a man
And watch you walk away
I'll take it like a man
You'll never know I feel the blow
I should get down on my knees
But I was raised to take a stand
Hide my tears and take it like a man.
I'd get down on my knees
But I was raised to take a stand
Hide my tears and take it like a man...
I Don't Know A Thing About Love (The Moon Song) lyrics - Conway Twitty
I talked to the man in the moon
I said, "Sir, is she coming back soon?"
He smiled and he stated, "Son, I'm over-rated
I've had too much credit in those old love tunes"
I don't know a thing about love
I just kind of hang here above
I just watch from the sky, will love grow or will it die?
I don't know a thing about love
Then I ask him "Where is she tonight?
You must see all things with your light"
He said, "Son, I could tell you things that might kill you
But I don't get involved in what's wrong or right"
I don't know a thing about love
I just kind of hang here above
I just watch from the sky, will love grow or will it die?
I don't know a thing about love
He said, "I can move oceans when I take the notion
Or make mountains tremble and rivers run dry
But in all matters human, remember there's someone
In charge of those things way above you and I"
I don't know a thing about love
I just kind of hang here above
I just watch from the sky, will love grow or will it die?
I don't know a thing about love
I don't know a thing about love
I said, "Sir, is she coming back soon?"
He smiled and he stated, "Son, I'm over-rated
I've had too much credit in those old love tunes"
I don't know a thing about love
I just kind of hang here above
I just watch from the sky, will love grow or will it die?
I don't know a thing about love
Then I ask him "Where is she tonight?
You must see all things with your light"
He said, "Son, I could tell you things that might kill you
But I don't get involved in what's wrong or right"
I don't know a thing about love
I just kind of hang here above
I just watch from the sky, will love grow or will it die?
I don't know a thing about love
He said, "I can move oceans when I take the notion
Or make mountains tremble and rivers run dry
But in all matters human, remember there's someone
In charge of those things way above you and I"
I don't know a thing about love
I just kind of hang here above
I just watch from the sky, will love grow or will it die?
I don't know a thing about love
I don't know a thing about love
I've Never Had It Bad lyrics - Conway Twitty
I've had love enough for any man
But not enough to learn
I wish I had a nickel for
Each bridge I've had to burn.
I've had love that warmed my heart
And love that left me sad
I've had love a thousand ways
But I've never had it bad.
I've had love that bloomed in spring
But never saw the fall
And I've known love so big it made
Life itself seem small.
Sometimes love was pure and sweet
And sometimes just a fad
I've had love a thousand ways
But I've never had it bad.
Love is only what we make it
A window or a wall
Love can heal a heart or break it
But it's a fool who never falls.
We've had love this time around
But it seems our time has passed
Even though we made it work
We couldn't make it last.
So here's a toast to you and me
And everything we had
I've had love a thousand ways
But I've never had it bad...
But not enough to learn
I wish I had a nickel for
Each bridge I've had to burn.
I've had love that warmed my heart
And love that left me sad
I've had love a thousand ways
But I've never had it bad.
I've had love that bloomed in spring
But never saw the fall
And I've known love so big it made
Life itself seem small.
Sometimes love was pure and sweet
And sometimes just a fad
I've had love a thousand ways
But I've never had it bad.
Love is only what we make it
A window or a wall
Love can heal a heart or break it
But it's a fool who never falls.
We've had love this time around
But it seems our time has passed
Even though we made it work
We couldn't make it last.
So here's a toast to you and me
And everything we had
I've had love a thousand ways
But I've never had it bad...
Without You lyrics - Conway Twitty
I've never been above the Mason ' Dixon line
The cold wind and the snow just ain't my style
When you left for New York City I stayed behind
But girl it's not the same without your smile.
You said you hated leavin' but then you were gone
The big city life was on your mind
Everyday gets harder for me to carry on
All alone in this Dixie heart of mine.
Without you, I'm Dixie without Georgia
These lonely southern nights make me blue
Without you, I'm Texas without Dallas
I'm Cajun Country without Baton Rouge
I'm Dixie without Georgia without you.
I'm southern born and bred just like a magnolia tree
I'm honeysuckle clingin' to the vine
I had it all together when you were with me
Right here in this Dixie heart of mine.
Without you, I'm Dixie without Georgia
These lonely southern nights make me blue
Without you, I'm Texas without Dallas
I'm Cajun Country without Big Mamaux
I'm Dixie without Georgia without you.
Hey, without you, I'm Dixie without Georgia
These lonely southern nights make me blue
Without you, I'm Texas without Dallas
I'm Memphis, Tennessee without the blues'
I'm Dixie without Georgia without you...
The cold wind and the snow just ain't my style
When you left for New York City I stayed behind
But girl it's not the same without your smile.
You said you hated leavin' but then you were gone
The big city life was on your mind
Everyday gets harder for me to carry on
All alone in this Dixie heart of mine.
Without you, I'm Dixie without Georgia
These lonely southern nights make me blue
Without you, I'm Texas without Dallas
I'm Cajun Country without Baton Rouge
I'm Dixie without Georgia without you.
I'm southern born and bred just like a magnolia tree
I'm honeysuckle clingin' to the vine
I had it all together when you were with me
Right here in this Dixie heart of mine.
Without you, I'm Dixie without Georgia
These lonely southern nights make me blue
Without you, I'm Texas without Dallas
I'm Cajun Country without Big Mamaux
I'm Dixie without Georgia without you.
Hey, without you, I'm Dixie without Georgia
These lonely southern nights make me blue
Without you, I'm Texas without Dallas
I'm Memphis, Tennessee without the blues'
I'm Dixie without Georgia without you...
All My Life lyrics - Conway Twitty
Maybe it's the way you kiss me
Or that twinkle in your eye
Maybe it's the way you hold me
And keep me satisfied
Just as long as you love me
I guess it doesn't matter why
You're the one I've dreamed of
All my life.
Maybe it's the way I sometimes catch you
With my reflection in your eyes
Maybe it's the times I tease you
And you laugh until you cry
Just as long as you love me
I guess it doesn't matter why
You're the one I've dreamed of
All my life.
Maybe it's the way you kiss me
Or that twinkle in your eye
Maybe it's the way you hold me
And keep me satisfied
Just as long as you love me
I guess it doesn't matter why
You're the one I've dreamed of
All my life.
You're the one I've dreamed of
All my life...
Or that twinkle in your eye
Maybe it's the way you hold me
And keep me satisfied
Just as long as you love me
I guess it doesn't matter why
You're the one I've dreamed of
All my life.
Maybe it's the way I sometimes catch you
With my reflection in your eyes
Maybe it's the times I tease you
And you laugh until you cry
Just as long as you love me
I guess it doesn't matter why
You're the one I've dreamed of
All my life.
Maybe it's the way you kiss me
Or that twinkle in your eye
Maybe it's the way you hold me
And keep me satisfied
Just as long as you love me
I guess it doesn't matter why
You're the one I've dreamed of
All my life.
You're the one I've dreamed of
All my life...
Bad Boy lyrics - Conway Twitty
Everyday your husband goes to work from nine to five
Wakes up in the morning and puts on his coat and tie
Sits down at the table with some coffee and the news
'Two eggs over easy,' girl, that's all he says to you
The kids are all in school now and you sit home alone
Spendin' all your time down it the basement a-washin' clothes
Somehow this just ain't the way you dreamed love would be
I can look into your eyes and tell just what you need.
You need a bad boy
To love you up and down
A bad boy
To take you on the town
It's plain to see what you need's
A little bit of mystery
You need a bad boy
A bad boy like me.
Every night at six o'clock he walks on through the door
Lays down on the couch and throws his shoes off on the floor
Tonight was gonna be the night he took you to a show
Now he's much too tired and he doesn't wanna go
Once again you spend the night in front of the TV
In bed you turn to touch him but he's already asleep.
You need a bad boy
To love you up and down
A bad boy
To take you on the town
It's plain to see what you need's
A little bit of mystery
You need a bad boy
A bad boy like me
Bad boy...
Wakes up in the morning and puts on his coat and tie
Sits down at the table with some coffee and the news
'Two eggs over easy,' girl, that's all he says to you
The kids are all in school now and you sit home alone
Spendin' all your time down it the basement a-washin' clothes
Somehow this just ain't the way you dreamed love would be
I can look into your eyes and tell just what you need.
You need a bad boy
To love you up and down
A bad boy
To take you on the town
It's plain to see what you need's
A little bit of mystery
You need a bad boy
A bad boy like me.
Every night at six o'clock he walks on through the door
Lays down on the couch and throws his shoes off on the floor
Tonight was gonna be the night he took you to a show
Now he's much too tired and he doesn't wanna go
Once again you spend the night in front of the TV
In bed you turn to touch him but he's already asleep.
You need a bad boy
To love you up and down
A bad boy
To take you on the town
It's plain to see what you need's
A little bit of mystery
You need a bad boy
A bad boy like me
Bad boy...
Somebody's Needin' Somebody lyrics - Conway Twitty
Someone somewhere's fallin' asleep
In a chair in front of the tv
'Cross town somebody's
Up and walkin' the floor at a quarter to three.
In some little corner of the world
A forgotten soul is waitin' by the phone
And right down the hall someone's in there feelin'
Like cryin' 'cause they're livin' all alone.
Somebody's needin' somebody the way I do
Somebody's wantin' somebody they can hold on to
To be loved by somebody that's the way it should be
Oh, there's got to be somebody somewhere waitin' for me.
Late at night it's lonely and I wonder how I'll ever get through
There's got to be somebody somewhere who's feelin' it too
Hurtin' inside, goin' through the motions, it's so hard to live
So many feelin' so lonely when they got so much to give.
Somebody's needin' somebody the way I do
Somebody's wantin' somebody they can hold on to
To be loved by somebody that's the way it should be
Oh, there's got to be somebody somewhere waitin' for me.
To be loved by somebody that's the way it should be
Oh, there's got to be somebody out there waitin' for me...
In a chair in front of the tv
'Cross town somebody's
Up and walkin' the floor at a quarter to three.
In some little corner of the world
A forgotten soul is waitin' by the phone
And right down the hall someone's in there feelin'
Like cryin' 'cause they're livin' all alone.
Somebody's needin' somebody the way I do
Somebody's wantin' somebody they can hold on to
To be loved by somebody that's the way it should be
Oh, there's got to be somebody somewhere waitin' for me.
Late at night it's lonely and I wonder how I'll ever get through
There's got to be somebody somewhere who's feelin' it too
Hurtin' inside, goin' through the motions, it's so hard to live
So many feelin' so lonely when they got so much to give.
Somebody's needin' somebody the way I do
Somebody's wantin' somebody they can hold on to
To be loved by somebody that's the way it should be
Oh, there's got to be somebody somewhere waitin' for me.
To be loved by somebody that's the way it should be
Oh, there's got to be somebody out there waitin' for me...
By Heart lyrics - Conway Twitty
Her face reflects as much of me as any mirror can
And my image in her eyes is all I know of who I am
But even as I see myself the lines begin to blur
For who I am has long been tied and tangled up in her.
And it isn't luck or chance she can read me at a glance
Not just because she's clever and she's smart
No, it's just by now she knows my heart
By heart.
It seems like it's been centuries since she and I began
And both of us took all our chances on a single hand
Though we took it day to day it's gone from year to year
And no one ever close to me was ever half as near.
And it isn't any trick or because her mind is quick
She reaches my conclusions as I start
No, it's just by now she knows my heart
By heart.
And amazing as it seems she brings magic to my dreams
Not just because she's mastered magic's art
No, it's just by now she knows my heart
By heart.
She knows my heart...
And my image in her eyes is all I know of who I am
But even as I see myself the lines begin to blur
For who I am has long been tied and tangled up in her.
And it isn't luck or chance she can read me at a glance
Not just because she's clever and she's smart
No, it's just by now she knows my heart
By heart.
It seems like it's been centuries since she and I began
And both of us took all our chances on a single hand
Though we took it day to day it's gone from year to year
And no one ever close to me was ever half as near.
And it isn't any trick or because her mind is quick
She reaches my conclusions as I start
No, it's just by now she knows my heart
By heart.
And amazing as it seems she brings magic to my dreams
Not just because she's mastered magic's art
No, it's just by now she knows my heart
By heart.
She knows my heart...
When The Magic Works lyrics - Conway Twitty
On a good night
I don't even have to try
'Cause it's so strong
Once I get on
To the right track
When I get the knack
She'll be helpless here forever.
When the magic works
There's no power on earth
To keep her from fallin' in love with me, yeah
Hey, when the magic works
I just say the right words
And she'll go to pieces right at my feet.
Moonlight
Everything is just right
I can feel it
Working a spell
And sometimes
When the planets are in line
I can see it come together.
When the magic works
There's no power on earth
To keep her from fallin' in love with me, yeah
Hmm, when the magic works
I just say the right words
And she'll go to pieces right at my feet.
Yeah, when the magic works
There's no power on earth
To keep her from fallin' in love with me, yeah
Hmm, when the magic works
I just say the right words
And she'll go to pieces right at my feet.
When the magic works...
I don't even have to try
'Cause it's so strong
Once I get on
To the right track
When I get the knack
She'll be helpless here forever.
When the magic works
There's no power on earth
To keep her from fallin' in love with me, yeah
Hey, when the magic works
I just say the right words
And she'll go to pieces right at my feet.
Moonlight
Everything is just right
I can feel it
Working a spell
And sometimes
When the planets are in line
I can see it come together.
When the magic works
There's no power on earth
To keep her from fallin' in love with me, yeah
Hmm, when the magic works
I just say the right words
And she'll go to pieces right at my feet.
Yeah, when the magic works
There's no power on earth
To keep her from fallin' in love with me, yeah
Hmm, when the magic works
I just say the right words
And she'll go to pieces right at my feet.
When the magic works...
Call It What You Want To lyrics - Conway Twitty
You tell me that it's over
I'm just someone you think of now and then
And you say that you once loved me
But the love you had for me came to an end.
And you tell me that my memory
Is just a dying ember ' not a flame?
Well, you can call it what you want to
It's still love by any other name.
Call it what you want to
I still bring out the want ' to in your eyes
Every time that I'm around you
The desire that surrounds you just can't be disguised.
You can call it anything at all
But what you're telling me don't change a thing
You can call it what you want to
I still bring out the want ' to in your eyes.
Every time that I'm around you
The desire that surrounds you just can't be disguised
You can call it anything at all
But what you're telling me don't change a thing.
Baby, call it what you want to
It's still love by any other name...
I'm just someone you think of now and then
And you say that you once loved me
But the love you had for me came to an end.
And you tell me that my memory
Is just a dying ember ' not a flame?
Well, you can call it what you want to
It's still love by any other name.
Call it what you want to
I still bring out the want ' to in your eyes
Every time that I'm around you
The desire that surrounds you just can't be disguised.
You can call it anything at all
But what you're telling me don't change a thing
You can call it what you want to
I still bring out the want ' to in your eyes.
Every time that I'm around you
The desire that surrounds you just can't be disguised
You can call it anything at all
But what you're telling me don't change a thing.
Baby, call it what you want to
It's still love by any other name...
Hard Act To Follow lyrics - Conway Twitty
My leading lady is gone
And it's so hard to go on
Without the part she played
My life's just an empty stage.
She's a hard act to follow
I thought I'd find somebody by now
She's a hard act to follow
Her leavin' brought the whole house down.
She was so right for the part
The way she fit into my heart
After the love she gave
Who could ever take her place?
She's a hard act to follow
I thought I'd find somebody by now
She's a hard act to follow
Her leavin' brought the whole house down.
She's a hard act to follow
I thought I'd find somebody by now
She's a hard act to follow
Her leavin' brought the whole house down...
And it's so hard to go on
Without the part she played
My life's just an empty stage.
She's a hard act to follow
I thought I'd find somebody by now
She's a hard act to follow
Her leavin' brought the whole house down.
She was so right for the part
The way she fit into my heart
After the love she gave
Who could ever take her place?
She's a hard act to follow
I thought I'd find somebody by now
She's a hard act to follow
Her leavin' brought the whole house down.
She's a hard act to follow
I thought I'd find somebody by now
She's a hard act to follow
Her leavin' brought the whole house down...
Lost In The Feeling lyrics - Conway Twitty
We step out on the dance floor
The band starts to play
Holding you close I get carried away
Finding that falling is easy to do
Lost in the feeling with you.
Time standing still as I whirl you around
We're dancing without
Even touching the ground
Finding that falling is easy to do
Lost in the feeling with you.
No words are spoken
That don't need to be said
You and the music
Had gone to my head.
But I'll just go on
When the music is through
Lost in the feeling with you
Lost in the feeling with you.
Lost in the feeling with you...
The band starts to play
Holding you close I get carried away
Finding that falling is easy to do
Lost in the feeling with you.
Time standing still as I whirl you around
We're dancing without
Even touching the ground
Finding that falling is easy to do
Lost in the feeling with you.
No words are spoken
That don't need to be said
You and the music
Had gone to my head.
But I'll just go on
When the music is through
Lost in the feeling with you
Lost in the feeling with you.
Lost in the feeling with you...
Best Is Yet To Come lyrics - Conway Twitty
I watched the shadow of her body on the wall
As she slowly moved across the room
Anticipatin' Lord, I can't stand the waitin'
As I looked through the gown she slipped into
I hear my heart beating out of time
As I feel her body move so close to mine
With just one touch my soul surrenders
And once again she takes control of me
But the best is yet to come
Lord, she's only just begun
When we love she leaves nothing undone
It just gets better everytime
And the best is yet to come
I feel her breathin' gently on my shoulder
Lying here in loves sweet after glow
But I still feel the fire
Cause tonight she took me higher
Than she had ever takin' me before
Ah, but I know the best is yet to come
Lord, she's only just begun
When we love she leaves nothing undone
It just gets better everytime
And the best is yet to come
Yeah, the best is yet to come
Lord, she's only just begun
When we love she leaves nothing undone
It just gets better everytime
And the best is yet to come...
As she slowly moved across the room
Anticipatin' Lord, I can't stand the waitin'
As I looked through the gown she slipped into
I hear my heart beating out of time
As I feel her body move so close to mine
With just one touch my soul surrenders
And once again she takes control of me
But the best is yet to come
Lord, she's only just begun
When we love she leaves nothing undone
It just gets better everytime
And the best is yet to come
I feel her breathin' gently on my shoulder
Lying here in loves sweet after glow
But I still feel the fire
Cause tonight she took me higher
Than she had ever takin' me before
Ah, but I know the best is yet to come
Lord, she's only just begun
When we love she leaves nothing undone
It just gets better everytime
And the best is yet to come
Yeah, the best is yet to come
Lord, she's only just begun
When we love she leaves nothing undone
It just gets better everytime
And the best is yet to come...
You've Got A Good Love Coming lyrics - Conway Twitty
Look out! there's a sunny day
I do believe it's headed your way.
You've been crying long enough
But you'll forget what a teardrop was.
You've got a good love coming
You've got a good love coming
You've got a good love coming
To you tonight.
Knock, knock baby, guess who's here
I've come to make one thing clear
No more heartaches, no more fear,
Tonight's the night they're gonna disappear.
Cause you've got a good love coming
You've got a good love coming
You've got a good love coming
To you tonight.
Hold on, don't you go nowhere
You're gonna get it as soon as I get there.
You've got a good love coming
You've got a good love coming
You've got a good love coming
To you tonight
I do believe it's headed your way.
You've been crying long enough
But you'll forget what a teardrop was.
You've got a good love coming
You've got a good love coming
You've got a good love coming
To you tonight.
Knock, knock baby, guess who's here
I've come to make one thing clear
No more heartaches, no more fear,
Tonight's the night they're gonna disappear.
Cause you've got a good love coming
You've got a good love coming
You've got a good love coming
To you tonight.
Hold on, don't you go nowhere
You're gonna get it as soon as I get there.
You've got a good love coming
You've got a good love coming
You've got a good love coming
To you tonight
We're So Close lyrics - Conway Twitty
I know we just met,
And yet here we are all alone
And I'm burning up
With the feeling that I've never known.
True love takes time and I'm not the kind
That believes in love at first sight,
Ahhhh, but I got a feelin' I'm close
To believing tonight.
We're so close I'm almost in love
We're so close to something
I've been dreamin' of
We're right on the verge of makin' love.
Something much more than words
Feels so right
And I've never been so close
To love in my life.
No one has ever touched me
The way that you do
I've never wanted a woman
Like I'm wanting you.
The heart's open wide so come on inside
That's where I want you to stay
'Cause I've got a feeling tonight.
We might fall all the way.
We're so close I'm almost in love
We're so close to something I've been dreamin' of
We're right on the verge of makin' love.
Something much more than words
Feels so right
And I've never been so close
To love in my life.
I've never been so close
To love in my life...
And yet here we are all alone
And I'm burning up
With the feeling that I've never known.
True love takes time and I'm not the kind
That believes in love at first sight,
Ahhhh, but I got a feelin' I'm close
To believing tonight.
We're so close I'm almost in love
We're so close to something
I've been dreamin' of
We're right on the verge of makin' love.
Something much more than words
Feels so right
And I've never been so close
To love in my life.
No one has ever touched me
The way that you do
I've never wanted a woman
Like I'm wanting you.
The heart's open wide so come on inside
That's where I want you to stay
'Cause I've got a feeling tonight.
We might fall all the way.
We're so close I'm almost in love
We're so close to something I've been dreamin' of
We're right on the verge of makin' love.
Something much more than words
Feels so right
And I've never been so close
To love in my life.
I've never been so close
To love in my life...
Heartache Tonight lyrics - Conway Twitty
Somebody's gonna hurt someone
Before the night is through
Somebody's gonna come undone
There's nothin' we can do
Everybody wants to touch somebody
If it takes all night
Everybody wants to take a little chance
It make it come out right
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know, yes, I know
Some people like to stay out late
Some folks can't hold out that long
Nobody wants to go home now
There's too much goin' on
This night is gonna last forever
It might last all summer long
Some time before the sun comes up
The radio is gonna play that song
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know, yes, I know
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
The moon's shinin' bright
So turn out the light and we'll get it right
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
Somebody's gonna hurt someone
Before the night is through
Somebody's gonna come undone
There's nothin' we can do
Everybody wants to touch somebody
If it takes all night
Everybody wants to take a little chance
It make it come out right
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know, so let's go
We can beat around the bushes
We can get down to the bone
We can leave it in the parkin' lot
But either way we're goin'
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight I know
There'll be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
Before the night is through
Somebody's gonna come undone
There's nothin' we can do
Everybody wants to touch somebody
If it takes all night
Everybody wants to take a little chance
It make it come out right
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know, yes, I know
Some people like to stay out late
Some folks can't hold out that long
Nobody wants to go home now
There's too much goin' on
This night is gonna last forever
It might last all summer long
Some time before the sun comes up
The radio is gonna play that song
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know, yes, I know
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
The moon's shinin' bright
So turn out the light and we'll get it right
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
Somebody's gonna hurt someone
Before the night is through
Somebody's gonna come undone
There's nothin' we can do
Everybody wants to touch somebody
If it takes all night
Everybody wants to take a little chance
It make it come out right
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know, so let's go
We can beat around the bushes
We can get down to the bone
We can leave it in the parkin' lot
But either way we're goin'
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight I know
There'll be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
Stranger's Point Of View lyrics - Conway Twitty
I never saw a single tear, if she cried it would never show
Maybe she was lonely, I didn't take the time to know
I never thought I'd see the day I'd miss her like I do
Until the day I saw her from a stranger's point of view
She never even noticed me. If she did she wouldn't say
But she never looked so lovely as when she turned and walked away
Now someone else is holdin' her just like I used to do
I can see it all so clearly now from a stranger's point of view
This stranger's eyes can't take the pain of seeing her like this
This stranger's eyes can't overlook everything I missed
I never thought I'd see the day I'd miss her like I do
Until the day I looked at her from a stranger's point of view...
Maybe she was lonely, I didn't take the time to know
I never thought I'd see the day I'd miss her like I do
Until the day I saw her from a stranger's point of view
She never even noticed me. If she did she wouldn't say
But she never looked so lovely as when she turned and walked away
Now someone else is holdin' her just like I used to do
I can see it all so clearly now from a stranger's point of view
This stranger's eyes can't take the pain of seeing her like this
This stranger's eyes can't overlook everything I missed
I never thought I'd see the day I'd miss her like I do
Until the day I looked at her from a stranger's point of view...
I Think I'm In Love lyrics - Conway Twitty
I was sittin' on a barstool
Sippin' on a cold brew when she walked in
A slow-movin' thing, in tight-fittin' jeans
I turned and I said to my friend,
'Well ole drinkin' buddy, my mind's gettin' muddy
From watchin' the way she moves
So pardon me please, I'm gonna roll up me sleeves
And turn all my want to's loose.'
'I think I'm in love, oh Lordy, Lord, I think I'm in love
I don't even know her name, but she's started a flame
And buddy, It's burnin me up.
I think I'm in love, oh Lordy, Lord, I think I'm in love
I don't know about tomorrow but tonight I think I'm in love.'
She was dancin' to a slow song,
Some fella hangin' on but she was lookin' at me
With a come and get it smile and hold me for a while
She swept me right off my feet
'Well ole drinkin' buddy, my mind's still muddy
From watchin' the way she moves
So pardon me please, I'm gonna roll up my sleeves
And turn all my want to's loose.'
'I think I'm in love, oh Lordy, Lord I think I'm in love
I don't even know her name, but she's stared a flame
And buddy, It's burnin' me up
I think I'm in love, oh Lordy, Lord I think I'm in love
I don't know about tomorrow but tonight, I think I'm in love.'
'I think I'm in love, oh Lordy, Lord I think I'm in love
I don't know about tomorrow but tonight I thing I'm in love
Sippin' on a cold brew when she walked in
A slow-movin' thing, in tight-fittin' jeans

From watchin' the way she moves
So pardon me please, I'm gonna roll up me sleeves
And turn all my want to's loose.'
'I think I'm in love, oh Lordy, Lord, I think I'm in love
I don't even know her name, but she's started a flame
And buddy, It's burnin me up.

Three Times A Lady lyrics - Conway twitty
Thanks for the times that you've given me
The mem'ries are all in my mind.
And now that we've come to the end of our rainbow
There's something I must say out loud
You're once, twice, three times a lady and I love you.
You're once, twice, three times a lady and I love you.
You share my dreams, my joy my pain
You make my life worth living for
And if I had my life to live over again
I'd spend every moment with you.
You're once, twice, three times a lady and I love you.
You're once, twice, three times a lady and I love you.
You're once, twice, three times a lady and I love you.
I love you...
The mem'ries are all in my mind.
And now that we've come to the end of our rainbow
There's something I must say out loud
You're once, twice, three times a lady and I love you.
You're once, twice, three times a lady and I love you.
You share my dreams, my joy my pain
You make my life worth living for
And if I had my life to live over again
I'd spend every moment with you.
You're once, twice, three times a lady and I love you.
You're once, twice, three times a lady and I love you.
You're once, twice, three times a lady and I love you.
I love you...
First Things First lyrics - Conway Twitty
Last night I had a blind date.
A situation that I usually hate.
I rang the bell, she opened the door
Wearin' a smile and not much more.
I said: "You think you better get dressed for dinner"
she said: "I'm dressed for dessert! Honey,
First Things First. First Things First".
After dinner and the wine is gone.
It's back at her place with the TV on.
I said: "It's gettin' late I should be gettin' home",
she said: "You know I really hate to sleep alone.
Maybe it's best that we get some rest?",
while she unbuttoned my shirt she said,
"First Things First, First Things First".
All night long I went along with her philosophy.
I must agree she got to me with her priority.
Waking up I never felt to good.
I'm seein' things I never thought I would.
Last night the lady made a change in me
And I'm seeing things a little differently.
So, ain't gonna hurry, no!
Ain't gonna worry why they wonder why we're late for work
We'll say, "First Things First".
Oh baby, First Things First.
Yeah, First Things First,
First Things First...
A situation that I usually hate.
I rang the bell, she opened the door
Wearin' a smile and not much more.
I said: "You think you better get dressed for dinner"
she said: "I'm dressed for dessert! Honey,
First Things First. First Things First".
After dinner and the wine is gone.
It's back at her place with the TV on.
I said: "It's gettin' late I should be gettin' home",
she said: "You know I really hate to sleep alone.
Maybe it's best that we get some rest?",
while she unbuttoned my shirt she said,
"First Things First, First Things First".
All night long I went along with her philosophy.
I must agree she got to me with her priority.
Waking up I never felt to good.
I'm seein' things I never thought I would.
Last night the lady made a change in me
And I'm seeing things a little differently.
So, ain't gonna hurry, no!
Ain't gonna worry why they wonder why we're late for work
We'll say, "First Things First".
Oh baby, First Things First.
Yeah, First Things First,
First Things First...
Don't It Feel Good lyrics - Conway Twitty
Don't it feel good, babe... Don't it feel right
Lyin' here beside you, holdin' you so tight
Longin' to satisfy love's appetite
Don't it feel good, babe... Don't it feel right
I love the way that you touch me, the way that you kiss me
The soft way you whisper in my ear
Your lips are burnin' like fire, fillin' me with desire
Girl, I can't think straight when you; re near
Don't it feel good, babe... Don't it feel right
Lyin' here beside you, holdin' you so tight
Longin' to satisfy love's appetite
Don't it feel good, babe... Don't it feel right
We found a good thing together, so close to each other
In this lovin' fever that we've caught
I want to hold you forever... There ain't nothin' better
Let's just hold on to what we've got
Don't it feel good babe... Don't it feel right
Lyin' here beside you, holdin' you so tight
Longin' to satisfy love's appetite
Don't it feel good, babe... Don't it feel right
Don't it feel good, babe... Don't it feel right
Lyin here beside you, holdin' you so tight
Longin' to satisfy love's appetite
Don't it feel good babe... Don't it feel right...
Lyin' here beside you, holdin' you so tight
Longin' to satisfy love's appetite
Don't it feel good, babe... Don't it feel right
I love the way that you touch me, the way that you kiss me
The soft way you whisper in my ear
Your lips are burnin' like fire, fillin' me with desire
Girl, I can't think straight when you; re near
Don't it feel good, babe... Don't it feel right
Lyin' here beside you, holdin' you so tight

Longin' to satisfy love's appetite
Don't it feel good babe... Don't it feel right...
Rose lyrics - Conway Twitty
Just two kids from the country far from any town
And wherever I played Rose could always be found
Life was hard but we made it and as everyone knows
I was there when she needed me a playmate of Rose.
Now years have passed things have changed since we moved into town
The little girl I grew up with is your woman now I found
And now the sidewalks of the city where wild temptation flows
Is her new playground and the playmates of Rose.
So if you're the one that's holdin' her tight
Somewhere out there at night
Please don't treat her as if she's just another girl
From off the street
And please don't do her wrong for her pride is almost gone
For you see Rose means the world to me
I love the girl you found out in the world
The girl that every man knows
But I love her today so different from your way
For you see I'm the brother of Rose...
And wherever I played Rose could always be found
Life was hard but we made it and as everyone knows
I was there when she needed me a playmate of Rose.
Now years have passed things have changed since we moved into town
The little girl I grew up with is your woman now I found
And now the sidewalks of the city where wild temptation flows
Is her new playground and the playmates of Rose.
So if you're the one that's holdin' her tight
Somewhere out there at night
Please don't treat her as if she's just another girl
From off the street
And please don't do her wrong for her pride is almost gone
For you see Rose means the world to me
I love the girl you found out in the world
The girl that every man knows
But I love her today so different from your way
For you see I'm the brother of Rose...
We Did But Now You Don't lyrics - Conway Twitty
Falling into love so young seemed so right
How could we know we'd grow up and grow apart
All we really wanted was each other in the night
But, it's plain to see we've had a change of heart.
The day we said I do I really did and so did you
Love came so easy, coming true
I wish we could find that love again but I'm afraid we won't
'Cause when we said I do we really did but now you don't.
Wedding vows are just no good if you let 'em fade
And rings don't mean a thing when feelings die
There just a grim reminder of the love that we once made
And the loneliness ahead for you and I.
The day we said I do I really did and so did you
Love came so easy, coming true
I wish we could find that love again but I'm afraid we won't
'Cause when we said I do we really did but now you don't.
The day we said I do I really did and so did you
Love came so easy, coming true
I wish we could find that love again but I'm afraid we won't
'Cause when we said I do we really did but now you don't...
How could we know we'd grow up and grow apart
All we really wanted was each other in the night
But, it's plain to see we've had a change of heart.
The day we said I do I really did and so did you
Love came so easy, coming true
I wish we could find that love again but I'm afraid we won't
'Cause when we said I do we really did but now you don't.
Wedding vows are just no good if you let 'em fade
And rings don't mean a thing when feelings die
There just a grim reminder of the love that we once made
And the loneliness ahead for you and I.
The day we said I do I really did and so did you
Love came so easy, coming true
I wish we could find that love again but I'm afraid we won't
'Cause when we said I do we really did but now you don't.
The day we said I do I really did and so did you
Love came so easy, coming true
I wish we could find that love again but I'm afraid we won't
'Cause when we said I do we really did but now you don't...
Good Love Died Tonight lyrics - Conway Twitty
To him it may be over
But for her it’ll be one day at a time
He may call it freedom
But to her he’s still locked inside her mind
You can throw away love’s golden pen
'Cause that’s all she wrote
The fire of love they kindled
Has all gone up in smoke
What a shame, what a sight
A good love died tonight.
To him it’s just and ending
But to her the pain’s beginning to start
For him it’s just a walk away
But for her it’s a breaking heart
One goodbye and lots of tears
Are all she has left to show
For those seven years
That just walked out the door
A lot of dreams lost their lives when
A good love died tonight.
They were headed for forever
When the hope that they were riding left the track
All the pleading and believing in the world
Won’t bring the feeling back
You can throw away love’s golden pen
'Cause that’s all she wrote
The fire of love they kindled
Has all gone up in smoke
What a shame, what a sight
A good love died tonight.
What a shame, what a sight
A good love died tonight...
But for her it’ll be one day at a time
He may call it freedom
But to her he’s still locked inside her mind
You can throw away love’s golden pen
'Cause that’s all she wrote
The fire of love they kindled
Has all gone up in smoke
What a shame, what a sight
A good love died tonight.
To him it’s just and ending
But to her the pain’s beginning to start
For him it’s just a walk away
But for her it’s a breaking heart
One goodbye and lots of tears
Are all she has left to show
For those seven years
That just walked out the door
A lot of dreams lost their lives when
A good love died tonight.
They were headed for forever
When the hope that they were riding left the track
All the pleading and believing in the world
Won’t bring the feeling back
You can throw away love’s golden pen
'Cause that’s all she wrote
The fire of love they kindled
Has all gone up in smoke
What a shame, what a sight
A good love died tonight.
What a shame, what a sight
A good love died tonight...
In My Dreams lyrics - Conway Twitty
Never quite got over you
I wondered if you missed me too
I tried to call a time or two
You were never home
Tried to call again last night
Number's changed, but that's alright
You wouldn't see me anyway
But that's ok, I'll see you.
In my dreams
And they never let me down
The only way that I have left
Of having you around
In my dreams
And they've saved me up 'till now
But it's funny how a fool can see the light
When the sun goes down.
I never quite got through to you
Like all the others seem to do
Got kinda close a time or two
But not for very long
Ain't it funny how your memory makes
Love stronger than the heartaches
Makes me keep on loving you
The way I do when I see you.
In my dreams
And they never let me down
The only way that I have left
Of having you around
In my dreams
And they've saved me up 'till now
But it's funny how a fool can see the light
When the sun goes down
In my dreams...
I wondered if you missed me too
I tried to call a time or two
You were never home
Tried to call again last night
Number's changed, but that's alright
You wouldn't see me anyway
But that's ok, I'll see you.
In my dreams
And they never let me down
The only way that I have left
Of having you around
In my dreams
And they've saved me up 'till now
But it's funny how a fool can see the light
When the sun goes down.
I never quite got through to you
Like all the others seem to do
Got kinda close a time or two
But not for very long
Ain't it funny how your memory makes
Love stronger than the heartaches
Makes me keep on loving you
The way I do when I see you.
In my dreams
And they never let me down
The only way that I have left
Of having you around
In my dreams
And they've saved me up 'till now
But it's funny how a fool can see the light
When the sun goes down
In my dreams...
One On One lyrics - Conway Twitty
There's never been a war
That could ever match the fight we just had
Broken dreams and promises scattered all over the floor
Now here I stand looking through the pain
That I wish was over
Who was wrong and who was right
It really doesn't matter anymore.
One on one, you against me
How I wish I could be holding you against me
One on one, you against me
How I wish I could be holding you against me.
Here I am staring out my window and the rain is pouring down
Watching the headlights of the car as she pulls out the drive
Tears start to fall and I begin to shake all over
I've got to try to pull myself together for this long lonely night.
One on one, you against me
How I wish I could be holding you against me
One on one, you against me
How I wish I could be holding you against me.
One on one, holding you against me...
That could ever match the fight we just had
Broken dreams and promises scattered all over the floor
Now here I stand looking through the pain
That I wish was over
Who was wrong and who was right
It really doesn't matter anymore.
One on one, you against me
How I wish I could be holding you against me
One on one, you against me
How I wish I could be holding you against me.
Here I am staring out my window and the rain is pouring down
Watching the headlights of the car as she pulls out the drive
Tears start to fall and I begin to shake all over
I've got to try to pull myself together for this long lonely night.
One on one, you against me
How I wish I could be holding you against me
One on one, you against me
How I wish I could be holding you against me.
One on one, holding you against me...
Just When I Needed You Most lyrics - Conway Twitty
(originally by Randy VanWarmer)
You packed in the morning
And I stared out the window
And I struggled for something to say
You left in the rain without closing the door
I didn't stand in your way.
But I miss you more
Than I missed you before
And now where I'll find comfort
God knows
'Cause you left me just when I needed you most
You left me just when I needed you most.
Now most every morning
I stare out the window
And I think about where you might be
I've written you letters that I'd like to send
If you'd just send one to me.
'Cause I need you more
Than I needed before
And now where I'll find comfort
God knows
'Cause you left me just when I needed you most
You left me just when I needed you most.
Now most every morning
I stare out the window
And I think about where you might be
I've written you letters that I'd like to send
If you'd just send one to me.
'Cause I loved you more
Than I loved you before
And now where I'll find comfort
God knows
'Cause you left me just when I needed you most
You left me just when I needed you most...
You packed in the morning
And I stared out the window
And I struggled for something to say
You left in the rain without closing the door
I didn't stand in your way.
But I miss you more
Than I missed you before
And now where I'll find comfort
God knows
'Cause you left me just when I needed you most
You left me just when I needed you most.
Now most every morning
I stare out the window
And I think about where you might be
I've written you letters that I'd like to send
If you'd just send one to me.
'Cause I need you more
Than I needed before
And now where I'll find comfort
God knows
'Cause you left me just when I needed you most
You left me just when I needed you most.
Now most every morning
I stare out the window
And I think about where you might be
I've written you letters that I'd like to send
If you'd just send one to me.
'Cause I loved you more
Than I loved you before
And now where I'll find comfort
God knows
'Cause you left me just when I needed you most
You left me just when I needed you most...
Close Enough To Love lyrics - Conway Twitty
Your eyes reflect the sadness
Inside your broken heart
You're afraid to love again so openly
I'd gladly spend my lifetime
Repairing every part
Oh, that's close enough to love for me.
And if you're hung up on the memory
Of some other man
When you close your eyes, if it's still him you see
If I can't have you completely
I'll cherish what I can
Oh, that's close enough to love for me.
Pickin' up the pieces
Is hard to do alone
And now your mind is set on stayin' free
I just want to hold you
Until the hurt is gone
Oh, that's close enough to love for me.
I just want to hold you
Until the hurt is gone
Oh, that's close enough to love for me...
Inside your broken heart
You're afraid to love again so openly
I'd gladly spend my lifetime
Repairing every part
Oh, that's close enough to love for me.
And if you're hung up on the memory
Of some other man
When you close your eyes, if it's still him you see
If I can't have you completely
I'll cherish what I can
Oh, that's close enough to love for me.
Pickin' up the pieces
Is hard to do alone
And now your mind is set on stayin' free
I just want to hold you
Until the hurt is gone
Oh, that's close enough to love for me.
I just want to hold you
Until the hurt is gone
Oh, that's close enough to love for me...
Burn Georgia Burn lyrics - Conway Twitty
From a kiss to a small spark, in a heartbeat a raging fire
With hungry flames burning higher, Georgia gave to her desire
She said no for so long, to temptation 'she finally turned
But when she gave, she gave it all, burn, Georgia burn.
Burn, Georgia burn
There's a fire in your soul
Am I to blame for the flame?
That's out of control.
Now twenty-five and the first time makes a woman kinda wild
When wall flowers turn to roses, they take on a certain style
Now I ain't sayin' she was wrong, as she took a wayward turn
But I remember the fire I started, burn, Georgia burn.
Burn, Georgia burn
There's a fire in your soul
Am I to blame for the flame?
That's out of control.
Burn, Georgia burn
There's a fire in your soul
Am I to blame for the flame?
That's out of control...
With hungry flames burning higher, Georgia gave to her desire
She said no for so long, to temptation 'she finally turned
But when she gave, she gave it all, burn, Georgia burn.
Burn, Georgia burn
There's a fire in your soul
Am I to blame for the flame?
That's out of control.
Now twenty-five and the first time makes a woman kinda wild
When wall flowers turn to roses, they take on a certain style
Now I ain't sayin' she was wrong, as she took a wayward turn
But I remember the fire I started, burn, Georgia burn.
Burn, Georgia burn
There's a fire in your soul
Am I to blame for the flame?
That's out of control.
Burn, Georgia burn
There's a fire in your soul
Am I to blame for the flame?
That's out of control...
In My Eyes lyrics - Conway Twitty
She's just a woman
A hundred pounds of flesh and blood
Quick with a smile and soft with a touch for me
She's just a woman
Not the least or the most desired
But she sets one man's heart on fire
And it's me that she wants to please.
And in my eyes
God never made a more beautiful girl
In my eyes
There's no one more lovely in all of the world
And she looks at me at times with such surprise
When she sees how special she is in my eyes.
She's only human
And she cries sometimes when she looks in the mirror
And counts a new line that seemed to appear overnight
She's only human
It's not that she's vain, she's just afraid
That there'll come a time when I'll turn away at the sight
But I swear that's not right.
And in my eyes
She just grows lovelier to me
And in my eyes
She's only aging gracefully
And a thousand strands of gray won't disguise
The woman she'll always be in my eyes.
She's just a woman
Giving her love to only me
Without her help I would be less of a man
Than she thinks I am.
And in my eyes
Love never changes or pretends
In my eyes
Her mystery never ends
And everything I feel as years go by
Makes her love grow sweeter still in my eyes
In my eyes...
A hundred pounds of flesh and blood
Quick with a smile and soft with a touch for me
She's just a woman
Not the least or the most desired
But she sets one man's heart on fire
And it's me that she wants to please.
And in my eyes
God never made a more beautiful girl
In my eyes
There's no one more lovely in all of the world
And she looks at me at times with such surprise
When she sees how special she is in my eyes.
She's only human
And she cries sometimes when she looks in the mirror
And counts a new line that seemed to appear overnight
She's only human
It's not that she's vain, she's just afraid
That there'll come a time when I'll turn away at the sight
But I swear that's not right.
And in my eyes
She just grows lovelier to me
And in my eyes
She's only aging gracefully
And a thousand strands of gray won't disguise
The woman she'll always be in my eyes.
She's just a woman
Giving her love to only me
Without her help I would be less of a man
Than she thinks I am.
And in my eyes
Love never changes or pretends
In my eyes
Her mystery never ends
And everything I feel as years go by
Makes her love grow sweeter still in my eyes
In my eyes...
Dream Maker lyrics - Conway Twitty
You are my dream maker
Taking me places I've never been
Making me feel so alive again
Tell me that all of this will never end.
You are my dream maker
Chasing away all of my blues
With these dreams of me and you
Dream maker, make my dreams come true.
Dreams, beautiful dreams
Dreaming of two
I used to never have these kind of dreams till you
You came along
And painted my nights, with all your love.
You are my dream maker
Taking me places I've never been
Making me feel so alive again
Tell me that all of this will never end.
You are my dream maker
Chasing away all of my blues
With these dreams of me and you
Dream maker, make my dreams come true.
Nights, long, lonely nights
Wondering when
All my loneliness was ever gonna end
Then I saw you
Just one look, that's all it took.
You are my dream maker
Taking me places I've never been
Making me feel so alive again
Tell me that all of this will never end.
You are my dream maker
Chasing away all of my blues
With these dreams of me and you
Dream maker, make my dreams come true.
You are my dream maker
Taking me places I've never been
Making me feel so alive again
Tell me that all of this will never end...
Taking me places I've never been
Making me feel so alive again
Tell me that all of this will never end.
You are my dream maker
Chasing away all of my blues
With these dreams of me and you
Dream maker, make my dreams come true.
Dreams, beautiful dreams
Dreaming of two
I used to never have these kind of dreams till you
You came along
And painted my nights, with all your love.
You are my dream maker
Taking me places I've never been
Making me feel so alive again
Tell me that all of this will never end.
You are my dream maker
Chasing away all of my blues
With these dreams of me and you
Dream maker, make my dreams come true.
Nights, long, lonely nights
Wondering when
All my loneliness was ever gonna end
Then I saw you
Just one look, that's all it took.
You are my dream maker
Taking me places I've never been
Making me feel so alive again
Tell me that all of this will never end.
You are my dream maker
Chasing away all of my blues
With these dreams of me and you
Dream maker, make my dreams come true.
You are my dream maker
Taking me places I've never been
Making me feel so alive again
Tell me that all of this will never end...
Slow Hand lyrics - Conway Twitty
As the midnight moon was drifting through
The lazy sway of the trees
I saw the look in your eyes looking into the night
Not seeing what you wanted to see.
Darling, don't say a word I've already heard
What your body is saying to mine
You're tired of fast moves
You got a slow groove on your mind.
You want a man with a slow hand
You want a lover with an easy touch
You want somebody who will spend some time
Not come and go in a heated rush
Baby, believe me I understand
When it comes to love you want a slow hand.
Moon shadowed ground with no one around
And a blanket of stars in our eyes
Hey, we're drifting free like two losties
On the crazy wind of the night.
Darling don't say a word I've already heard
What your body is saying to mine
If you want all night you know it's alright
I've got time.
You've got a man with a slow hand
You've got a lover with an easy touch
You've got somebody who will spend some time
Not come and go in a heated rush
Baby, believe me I understand
When it comes to love you want a slow hand.
You want a lover with an easy touch
You've got somebody
Who will spend some time with you baby
Not come and go in a heated rush
Baby believe me I understand
When it comes to love you want a slow hand...
The lazy sway of the trees
I saw the look in your eyes looking into the night
Not seeing what you wanted to see.
Darling, don't say a word I've already heard
What your body is saying to mine
You're tired of fast moves
You got a slow groove on your mind.
You want a man with a slow hand
You want a lover with an easy touch
You want somebody who will spend some time
Not come and go in a heated rush
Baby, believe me I understand
When it comes to love you want a slow hand.
Moon shadowed ground with no one around
And a blanket of stars in our eyes
Hey, we're drifting free like two losties
On the crazy wind of the night.
Darling don't say a word I've already heard
What your body is saying to mine
If you want all night you know it's alright
I've got time.
You've got a man with a slow hand
You've got a lover with an easy touch
You've got somebody who will spend some time
Not come and go in a heated rush
Baby, believe me I understand
When it comes to love you want a slow hand.
You want a lover with an easy touch
You've got somebody
Who will spend some time with you baby
Not come and go in a heated rush
Baby believe me I understand
When it comes to love you want a slow hand...
Clown lyrics - Conway Twitty
You love the way it makes me feel when I can't catch my breath
Like walkin' on a high wire, Lord, it scares me half to death
You're always high above me and I'm always fallin' down
Our love's just a circus baby, and I'm just the clown.
And I'll do tricks for you, just like you want me to
I'll do anything it takes just to hang around
I'll paint a smile for you to cover up my frown
'Cause our loves a circus and I'm just the clown.
Everyone's in love with you, but they just look at me and laugh
And I'll bet when they see me cry, they think it's just an act
Ah, but someday when it's over and we bring the big top down
You can say it was one big circus and I was just the clown.
And I'll do tricks for you, just like you want me to
I'll do anything it takes just to hang around
I'll paint a smile for you to cover up my frown
'Cause you love the circus, but you don't love the clown...
Like walkin' on a high wire, Lord, it scares me half to death
You're always high above me and I'm always fallin' down
Our love's just a circus baby, and I'm just the clown.
And I'll do tricks for you, just like you want me to
I'll do anything it takes just to hang around
I'll paint a smile for you to cover up my frown
'Cause our loves a circus and I'm just the clown.
Everyone's in love with you, but they just look at me and laugh
And I'll bet when they see me cry, they think it's just an act
Ah, but someday when it's over and we bring the big top down
You can say it was one big circus and I was just the clown.
And I'll do tricks for you, just like you want me to
I'll do anything it takes just to hang around
I'll paint a smile for you to cover up my frown
'Cause you love the circus, but you don't love the clown...
Boy Next Door lyrics - Conway Twitty
I've known you since you were a schoolgirl
Saw the smoke turn to fire in your eyes
From the window of my room
I watched a young girl bloom
Saw the woman in you come alive
Watched you fall in love a time or two
I saw you get hurt once or twice
And you'd come running over, cry on my shoulder
Sometimes I'd get to hold you all night
There in my arms you'd lay soft and warm
You never felt the writing on the wall
You never knew how I wanted you
I was the boy next door, that's all
Just the boy next door, that's all
I watched you drift away out of my reach
I never got to hold you again
And here in my heart is the saddest part
We'll never know how it might have been
There in my arms you'd lay soft and warm
I sure love to catch you when you fall
But you never knew how I wanted you
I was the boy next door, that's all
Just the boy next door, that's all
Do you ever think about me, honey?
The boy next door, that's all
Saw the smoke turn to fire in your eyes
From the window of my room
I watched a young girl bloom
Saw the woman in you come alive
Watched you fall in love a time or two
I saw you get hurt once or twice
And you'd come running over, cry on my shoulder
Sometimes I'd get to hold you all night
There in my arms you'd lay soft and warm
You never felt the writing on the wall
You never knew how I wanted you
I was the boy next door, that's all
Just the boy next door, that's all
I watched you drift away out of my reach
I never got to hold you again
And here in my heart is the saddest part
We'll never know how it might have been
There in my arms you'd lay soft and warm
I sure love to catch you when you fall
But you never knew how I wanted you
I was the boy next door, that's all
Just the boy next door, that's all
Do you ever think about me, honey?
The boy next door, that's all
Love And Only Love lyrics - Conway Twitty
Someone is lying next to me tonight
Wishing I was someone else and I'm wishing she was right
It's not her fault and it's not mine
We did the best we could
But it's love and only love
That makes the loving good.
We lie and say I love you to each other one more time
And all the while we force our smiles to tory to ease our minds
She's just like me; she had someone she'd go back if she could
'Cause it's love and only love that makes the loving good.
I cannot forget someone I left so long ago
Looking for some thrill I guess but what I just don't know
No I threw away the best I had
I never understood
That It's love and only love
That makes the loving good.
It's love and only love
That makes the loving good...
Wishing I was someone else and I'm wishing she was right
It's not her fault and it's not mine
We did the best we could
But it's love and only love
That makes the loving good.
We lie and say I love you to each other one more time
And all the while we force our smiles to tory to ease our minds
She's just like me; she had someone she'd go back if she could
'Cause it's love and only love that makes the loving good.
I cannot forget someone I left so long ago
Looking for some thrill I guess but what I just don't know
No I threw away the best I had
I never understood
That It's love and only love
That makes the loving good.
It's love and only love
That makes the loving good...
When Love Was Something Else lyrics - Conway Twitty
While she stands there
Staring in a mirror
He lays there
Sleeping through it all
She cries deep inside
Where he can't hear her
And turns to hide the tears
When they fall.
The years have only come between them
Memories fill the empty time that's left
But it only hurts her more to remember
When love was something else.
She combs her hair
Then quietly fluffs her pillow
As she lays down
She turns off the light
She collects her thoughts
And listens to the silence
While she lays awake alone again tonight.
The years have only come between them
Memories fill the empty time that's left
But it only hurts her more to remember
When love was something else.
When love was something else...
Staring in a mirror
He lays there
Sleeping through it all
She cries deep inside
Where he can't hear her
And turns to hide the tears
When they fall.
The years have only come between them
Memories fill the empty time that's left
But it only hurts her more to remember
When love was something else.
She combs her hair
Then quietly fluffs her pillow
As she lays down
She turns off the light
She collects her thoughts
And listens to the silence
While she lays awake alone again tonight.
The years have only come between them
Memories fill the empty time that's left
But it only hurts her more to remember
When love was something else.
When love was something else...
She Only Meant To Use Him lyrics - Conway Twitty
She was young and she was pretty
And she met him in the city
And somehow he fit right into her plan
She knew she hit it lucky
He owned half of Kentucky and best of all,
He was a sixty year old man.
She let him think he'd caught her
She led him to the alter
Totin' seven carats on her hand
All dressed up in satin
Aw' the good Lord wasted that one
But she knew she'd be the winner in the end.
'Cause she only meant to use him
She only meant to use him
And she didn't care if what she did was wrong
She only meant to use him
And she knew what she was doing
In a few years she'd be rich and he'd be gone.
In their million dollar palace
The man grew old and jealous
And he never let her leave the house alone
She was in her prime and holding
But she knew that he was old
And chances were he wouldn't be around that long.
As the days and nights grew longer
The greed in her grewstronger
And it even crossed her mind to take his life
But he found out he'd been taken
And his pride was badly shakened
And he knew she never meant to be a wife.
She only meant to use him
She only meant to use him
But she knew what she wanted in the end
She only meant to use him.
But he knew what she was doing
And he swore she'd never have a dime to spend.
Tormented by frustration
She watched her beauty wasting
As the lines upon her face began to show
She turned to heavy drinkin'
'Cause her ship was slowly sinking
And the bottle was the only place to go.
Now 20 odd years later
The headlines in the paper
Said they laid her soul to rest at 53
And when they wheeled him to her coffin
He took her diamond off
And he just smiled and finally died at 93.
She only meant to use him
Lord knows she meant to use him
But she died with seven carats on her hand
All dressed in satin
Aw' the good Lord wasted that one
But her husband died a satisfied old man.
She was young and she was pretty
And she met him in the city
And somehow he fit right into her plan
She knew she hit it lucky
He owned half of Kentucky and best of all,
He was a sixty year old man...
And she met him in the city
And somehow he fit right into her plan
She knew she hit it lucky
He owned half of Kentucky and best of all,
He was a sixty year old man.
She let him think he'd caught her
She led him to the alter
Totin' seven carats on her hand
All dressed up in satin
Aw' the good Lord wasted that one
But she knew she'd be the winner in the end.
'Cause she only meant to use him
She only meant to use him
And she didn't care if what she did was wrong
She only meant to use him
And she knew what she was doing
In a few years she'd be rich and he'd be gone.
In their million dollar palace
The man grew old and jealous
And he never let her leave the house alone
She was in her prime and holding
But she knew that he was old
And chances were he wouldn't be around that long.
As the days and nights grew longer
The greed in her grewstronger
And it even crossed her mind to take his life
But he found out he'd been taken
And his pride was badly shakened
And he knew she never meant to be a wife.
She only meant to use him
She only meant to use him
But she knew what she wanted in the end
She only meant to use him.
But he knew what she was doing
And he swore she'd never have a dime to spend.
Tormented by frustration
She watched her beauty wasting
As the lines upon her face began to show
She turned to heavy drinkin'
'Cause her ship was slowly sinking
And the bottle was the only place to go.
Now 20 odd years later
The headlines in the paper
Said they laid her soul to rest at 53
And when they wheeled him to her coffin
He took her diamond off
And he just smiled and finally died at 93.
She only meant to use him
Lord knows she meant to use him
But she died with seven carats on her hand
All dressed in satin
Aw' the good Lord wasted that one
But her husband died a satisfied old man.
She was young and she was pretty
And she met him in the city
And somehow he fit right into her plan
She knew she hit it lucky
He owned half of Kentucky and best of all,
He was a sixty year old man...
It Turns Me Inside Out lyrics - Conway Twitty
In a way I'm glad it's over,
Even though it's gonna hurt me once you're gone
I can learn to live without you,
Give me time and I can make it on my own.
Lovin' you to me came easy
Now losing you will change my life no doubt
And in a way I'm glad it's over,
In another way it turns me inside out.
In a way I guess it's better,
Even though there's nothing good about goodbye
And I know I couldn't hold you,
Now you've found your wings and you need room to fly.
And it's for sure I'm gonna miss you,
But I guess that's what goodbye is all about
And in a way I'm glad it's over,
But in another way it turns me inside out.
On the one hand I know
I'll be better off once you're gone,
But I find a lot of heartache on the other
And I can't say I'll look forward
To those nights I'll spend alone
And I wonder w! ill there ever be another.
Loving you to me came easy,
Now losing you will change my life no doubt
And in a way I'm glad it's over,
In another way it turns me inside out.
Yes, in a way I'm glad it's over,
But in another way it turns me inside out...
Even though it's gonna hurt me once you're gone
I can learn to live without you,
Give me time and I can make it on my own.
Lovin' you to me came easy
Now losing you will change my life no doubt
And in a way I'm glad it's over,
In another way it turns me inside out.
In a way I guess it's better,
Even though there's nothing good about goodbye
And I know I couldn't hold you,
Now you've found your wings and you need room to fly.
And it's for sure I'm gonna miss you,
But I guess that's what goodbye is all about
And in a way I'm glad it's over,
But in another way it turns me inside out.
On the one hand I know
I'll be better off once you're gone,
But I find a lot of heartache on the other
And I can't say I'll look forward
To those nights I'll spend alone
And I wonder w! ill there ever be another.
Loving you to me came easy,
Now losing you will change my life no doubt
And in a way I'm glad it's over,
In another way it turns me inside out.
Yes, in a way I'm glad it's over,
But in another way it turns me inside out...
Southern Comfort lyrics - Conway Twitty
Well, I know a lady in Alabam'
And one or two in Louisian'
And when my troubles feel like the weight of the world
I go to the arms of those southern girls.
and get that Southern comfort Whenever my soul hurts
Southern comfort, It makes me feel so fine.
A Mississippi miss will set you free
And so will those ladies up in Tennessee
And if you ain't had yourself a Georgia kiss
You don't know what you have missed.
I love that southern comfort whenever my soul hurts
Southern comfort it makes me feel so fine.
So here's to the ladies with the soft Texas drawls
And all of those beauties in Arkansas
From up in Kentucky to Caroline,
I'll never get you off of my mind.
I love your southern comfort whenever my soul hurts
Southern comfort It makes me feel so fine.
I love your southern comfort Whenever my soul hurts
Southern comfort It makes me feel so fine.
So fine...
And one or two in Louisian'
And when my troubles feel like the weight of the world
I go to the arms of those southern girls.
and get that Southern comfort Whenever my soul hurts
Southern comfort, It makes me feel so fine.
A Mississippi miss will set you free
And so will those ladies up in Tennessee
And if you ain't had yourself a Georgia kiss
You don't know what you have missed.
I love that southern comfort whenever my soul hurts
Southern comfort it makes me feel so fine.
So here's to the ladies with the soft Texas drawls
And all of those beauties in Arkansas
From up in Kentucky to Caroline,
I'll never get you off of my mind.
I love your southern comfort whenever my soul hurts
Southern comfort It makes me feel so fine.
I love your southern comfort Whenever my soul hurts
Southern comfort It makes me feel so fine.
So fine...
Something Strange Got Into Her Last Night lyrics - Conway Twitty
It was just another day
Going 'bout the same old way
As yesterday and all the days before
I got off work and went straight home
But this time I found her gone
Until three A.M. when she walked through the door.
And she was crying
Like her whole world had died
She kept turning away
She wouldn't look me in the eye
And she wouldn't let me hold her
To try to make everything alright
Something strange got into her last night.
As I dress for work I softly walk
Lord we sure do need to talk
But I guess I'll just stop at noon
And maybe call her on the phone
'Cause I suppose it's best
To just let her sleep and rest
But it's killing me wondering
If I've done something wrong.
'Cause she was crying
Like her whole world had died
She kept turning away
She wouldn't look me in the eye
And she wouldn't let me hold her
To try to make everything alright
Something strange got into her last night.
Something strange got into her last night...
Going 'bout the same old way
As yesterday and all the days before
I got off work and went straight home
But this time I found her gone
Until three A.M. when she walked through the door.
And she was crying
Like her whole world had died
She kept turning away
She wouldn't look me in the eye
And she wouldn't let me hold her
To try to make everything alright
Something strange got into her last night.
As I dress for work I softly walk
Lord we sure do need to talk
But I guess I'll just stop at noon
And maybe call her on the phone
'Cause I suppose it's best
To just let her sleep and rest
But it's killing me wondering
If I've done something wrong.
'Cause she was crying
Like her whole world had died
She kept turning away
She wouldn't look me in the eye
And she wouldn't let me hold her
To try to make everything alright
Something strange got into her last night.
Something strange got into her last night...
I Was The First lyrics - Conway Twitty
I was the first to hold you in my arms so tight
I was the first to thrill you with a kiss goodnight
I was the first to stir your feelin's new and strange
I was the first and that's the one thing he can't change.
I was the first to take advantage of your youth
I was the first to whisper love words for the truth
I was the first to break your heart in two and yet
I was the first and I know that you can't forget.
He can't stop these feelings that keep runnin' through his mind
Things you couldn't help that happened long before his time
I know he won't admit it but it's true and Lord it hurts
To think that when he's lovin' you, I was the first.
I was the first to kiss your lips and hold your hand
I was the first to ever touch you as a man
I was the first to take your innocence then run
I was your first; I took a girl and made a woman.
We've already done the things that he's got on his mind
Things you couldn't help that happened long before his time
I know he won't admit it but it's true and Lord it hurts
To think that when he's lovin' you, I was the first.
I know he won't admit it but it's true and Lord it hurts
To think that when he's lovin' you, I was the first
Sometimes he wishes he was me 'cause I was the first
Lord, I'd give anything if I had only been the last...
I was the first to thrill you with a kiss goodnight
I was the first to stir your feelin's new and strange
I was the first and that's the one thing he can't change.
I was the first to take advantage of your youth
I was the first to whisper love words for the truth
I was the first to break your heart in two and yet
I was the first and I know that you can't forget.
He can't stop these feelings that keep runnin' through his mind
Things you couldn't help that happened long before his time
I know he won't admit it but it's true and Lord it hurts
To think that when he's lovin' you, I was the first.
I was the first to kiss your lips and hold your hand
I was the first to ever touch you as a man
I was the first to take your innocence then run
I was your first; I took a girl and made a woman.
We've already done the things that he's got on his mind
Things you couldn't help that happened long before his time
I know he won't admit it but it's true and Lord it hurts
To think that when he's lovin' you, I was the first.
I know he won't admit it but it's true and Lord it hurts
To think that when he's lovin' you, I was the first
Sometimes he wishes he was me 'cause I was the first
Lord, I'd give anything if I had only been the last...
Lovin' What Your Lovin' Does To Me lyrics - Conway Twitty
My heart was at a standstill
Your touch shook it up
You made me see what I've missed
Now I can't get enough.
I fit so right in your world
You set my heart on go
On the coldest day of winter
Lord, our love would melt the snow.
Our love is hotter than the fire that swept Chicago
Deeper than the Gulf of Mexico
Sweeter than the sugarcane way down in Louisiana
Here with you is where I want to be
I'm lovin' what your lovin' does to me.
Your love struck me
Like a bolt out of the blue
The first thing that I knew
I was givin' it all to you.
You make it happen
Whenever I'm with you
The longest day of summer
Couldn't warm me like you do.
Our love is stronger than the winds that hit Biloxi
Taller than the hills of Tennessee
More movin' than the earthquakes that shake up California
Here with you is where I want to be
I'm loving what your lovin' does to me.
Our love is hotter than the fire that swept Chicago
Deeper than the Gulf of Mexico
Sweeter than the sugarcane way down in Louisiana
Here with you is where I want to be
I'm lovin' what your lovin' does to me.
Our love is hotter than the fire that swept Chicago
Deeper than the Gulf of Mexico
Sweeter than the sugarcane way down in Louisiana
Here with you is where I want to be
I'm lovin' what your lovin' does to me...
Your touch shook it up
You made me see what I've missed
Now I can't get enough.
I fit so right in your world
You set my heart on go
On the coldest day of winter
Lord, our love would melt the snow.
Our love is hotter than the fire that swept Chicago
Deeper than the Gulf of Mexico
Sweeter than the sugarcane way down in Louisiana
Here with you is where I want to be
I'm lovin' what your lovin' does to me.
Your love struck me
Like a bolt out of the blue
The first thing that I knew
I was givin' it all to you.
You make it happen
Whenever I'm with you
The longest day of summer
Couldn't warm me like you do.
Our love is stronger than the winds that hit Biloxi
Taller than the hills of Tennessee
More movin' than the earthquakes that shake up California
Here with you is where I want to be
I'm loving what your lovin' does to me.
Our love is hotter than the fire that swept Chicago
Deeper than the Gulf of Mexico
Sweeter than the sugarcane way down in Louisiana
Here with you is where I want to be
I'm lovin' what your lovin' does to me.
Our love is hotter than the fire that swept Chicago
Deeper than the Gulf of Mexico
Sweeter than the sugarcane way down in Louisiana
Here with you is where I want to be
I'm lovin' what your lovin' does to me...
I'd Rather Have What We Had lyrics - Conway Twitty
It used to be blue night, there in room 329
Over the river where we weren't well known
Now, it's two coffees then off to the office
And back to the driveway and sittin' at home
Sneaking around with me
Being tied down with me
Oh, which one would you rather have
Be honest
Dying to be with me
Watching TV with me
Is this what we wanted so bad?
I'd rather have what we had
We carefully planned it, what our hearts demanded
No more motel rooms, no more cheatin' lies
Now we're lookin' at it, a neatly wrapped package
But open it up and there's no surprise
Sneaking around with me
Being tied down with me
Oh, which one would you rather have
Be honest
Dying to be with me
Watching TV with me
Is this what we wanted so bad?
I'd rather have what we had
Over the river where we weren't well known
Now, it's two coffees then off to the office
And back to the driveway and sittin' at home
Sneaking around with me
Being tied down with me
Oh, which one would you rather have
Be honest
Dying to be with me
Watching TV with me
Is this what we wanted so bad?
I'd rather have what we had
We carefully planned it, what our hearts demanded
No more motel rooms, no more cheatin' lies
Now we're lookin' at it, a neatly wrapped package
But open it up and there's no surprise
Sneaking around with me
Being tied down with me
Oh, which one would you rather have
Be honest
Dying to be with me
Watching TV with me
Is this what we wanted so bad?
I'd rather have what we had
Right In The Palm Of Your Hand lyrics - Conway Twitty
A willin' woman
A willin' man
A five room house
And a wedding band
Believer, believer.
Once it begins
You know it don't take long
Til like two people in a heartbreak song
And wonder, I wonder.
Ain't it just like a woman
Yeah, and ain't it just like a man
Chasin' the rainbow and looking for love
When it's right in the palm of your hand.
We can't take back those things we said
So we watch it pass in seperate beds
Changing, were changing.
Too little love and too much pride
You won't give in and neither will I
We're like children, children.
Ain't it just like a woman
Yeah, and ain't it just like a man
Chasing the rainbow and looking for love
When it's right in the palm of your hand.
Feet on the floor, holding my head
Sitting alone on the edge of the bed
I been thinking, thinking.
Trying to find where we went wrong
I turned around Lord, and you were gone
It's over, it's over.
Ain't it just like a woman
Yeah, and ain't it just like a man
Chasing the rainbow and looking for love
When it's right in the palm of your hand.
Ain't it just like a woman
Oh, and ain't it just like a man
Chasing the rainbow and looking for love
When it's right in the palm of your hand.
Right in the palm of your hand.
Right in the palm of your hand...
A willin' man
A five room house
And a wedding band
Believer, believer.
Once it begins
You know it don't take long
Til like two people in a heartbreak song
And wonder, I wonder.
Ain't it just like a woman
Yeah, and ain't it just like a man
Chasin' the rainbow and looking for love
When it's right in the palm of your hand.
We can't take back those things we said
So we watch it pass in seperate beds
Changing, were changing.
Too little love and too much pride
You won't give in and neither will I
We're like children, children.
Ain't it just like a woman
Yeah, and ain't it just like a man
Chasing the rainbow and looking for love
When it's right in the palm of your hand.
Feet on the floor, holding my head
Sitting alone on the edge of the bed
I been thinking, thinking.
Trying to find where we went wrong
I turned around Lord, and you were gone
It's over, it's over.
Ain't it just like a woman
Yeah, and ain't it just like a man
Chasing the rainbow and looking for love
When it's right in the palm of your hand.
Ain't it just like a woman
Oh, and ain't it just like a man
Chasing the rainbow and looking for love
When it's right in the palm of your hand.
Right in the palm of your hand.
Right in the palm of your hand...
Silent Partner lyrics - Conway Twitty
Let's do business, invest in you and me
I'm makin' you an offer that you can't refuse
You don't tell my woman and I won't tell your man
I guarantee you just can't lose
Yes, I'll be your silent partner
Undercover, secret style
Yes, I'll be your silent partner
(Silent partner)
I'll be your lover for awhile
Let's keep quiet and no need to publicize
No one knows what no one tells
And how 'bout me stayin' in the middle of the afternoon
And work out all the small details?
Yes, I'll be your silent partner
Undercover, secret style
Yes, I'll be your silent partner

Be your lover for awhile
We can profit once we organize
Keep our company on the side
Yes, I'll be your silent partner
(Silent partner, silent partner, silent partner)
Undercover secret style
Yes, I'll be your silent partner
(Silent partner)
Be your lover for awhile
Will you be my silent partner?

Won't you be my silent partner?
(Silent partner, silent partner, silent partner)
Wanna be your lover for awhile
Won't you be my silent partner?
Undercover secret style
Will you be my silent partner?
(Silent partner,, silent partner, silent partner)
I'm makin' you an offer that you can't refuse
You don't tell my woman and I won't tell your man
I guarantee you just can't lose
Yes, I'll be your silent partner
Undercover, secret style
Yes, I'll be your silent partner
(Silent partner)
I'll be your lover for awhile
Let's keep quiet and no need to publicize

I Still Believe In Waltzes lyrics - Conway Twitty
I pushed him away and carefully said I'm just not that kinda girl
You might think I'm square
But you've been around in the ways of the world
I know that making is taking for granted
Its all easy come, easy go
He pulled me close, whispered, now darlin' there's something I want you to know
I still believe in waltzes, and girls with old fashioned ways
I still believe in love songs, in the good, in the good ole days
I've always liked happy endings, somebody's dream coming true
I still believe in waltzes and dancing the last one with you
He slipped into bed, I turned over and said
I'm worried your working so late
Is it just your job
that keeps you away, Lord
I know the temptations are gray
I'm just a wife, I'm just a momma
Its not too exciting I know
He pulled me close and whispered those same words that night long ago
I still believe in waltzes, and girls with old fashioned ways
I still believe in love songs, in the good, in the good ole days
I've always liked happy endings, somebody's dream coming true
I still believe in waltzes and dancing the last one with you
We still believe in waltzes...
You might think I'm square
But you've been around in the ways of the world
I know that making is taking for granted
Its all easy come, easy go
He pulled me close, whispered, now darlin' there's something I want you to know
I still believe in waltzes, and girls with old fashioned ways
I still believe in love songs, in the good, in the good ole days
I've always liked happy endings, somebody's dream coming true
I still believe in waltzes and dancing the last one with you
He slipped into bed, I turned over and said
I'm worried your working so late
Is it just your job
that keeps you away, Lord
I know the temptations are gray
I'm just a wife, I'm just a momma
Its not too exciting I know
He pulled me close and whispered those same words that night long ago
I still believe in waltzes, and girls with old fashioned ways
I still believe in love songs, in the good, in the good ole days
I've always liked happy endings, somebody's dream coming true
I still believe in waltzes and dancing the last one with you
We still believe in waltzes...
We've Been Strong Long Enough lyrics - Conway Twitty
He's married to you, I'm not,
But that don't stop me from wantin' what he's got
So tonight, we'll take the time, the time for love
It may be wrong, but we've been long strong enough.
We've been strong long enough
For some time, we had in mind to be weak enough
That's the night we call each others bluff
Maybe wrong, but we've been strong long enough.
We'll, lay it all out on the line
You show me your love and I'll show you mine
And I'll remember things she's so forgetful of
It may be wrong, but we've been strong long enough.
We've been strong long enough
For some time, we had in mind to be weak enough
That's the night we call each others bluff
Maybe wrong, but we've been strong long enough.
She's married to you, I'm not
That don't stop me from wanting what she's got
Tonight's the night we'll call each others bluff
It may be wrong, but we've been strong long enough.
We've been strong long enough
For some time, we had in mind to be weak enough
That's the night we call each others bluff
Maybe wrong, but we've been strong long enough.
We've been strong long enough
For some time, we had in mind to be weak enough
That's the night we call each others bluff
Maybe wrong, but we've been strong long enough.
We've been strong long enough
For some time, we had in mind to be weak enough
That's the night we call each others bluff...
But that don't stop me from wantin' what he's got
So tonight, we'll take the time, the time for love
It may be wrong, but we've been long strong enough.
We've been strong long enough
For some time, we had in mind to be weak enough
That's the night we call each others bluff
Maybe wrong, but we've been strong long enough.
We'll, lay it all out on the line
You show me your love and I'll show you mine
And I'll remember things she's so forgetful of
It may be wrong, but we've been strong long enough.
We've been strong long enough
For some time, we had in mind to be weak enough
That's the night we call each others bluff
Maybe wrong, but we've been strong long enough.
She's married to you, I'm not
That don't stop me from wanting what she's got
Tonight's the night we'll call each others bluff
It may be wrong, but we've been strong long enough.
We've been strong long enough
For some time, we had in mind to be weak enough
That's the night we call each others bluff
Maybe wrong, but we've been strong long enough.
We've been strong long enough
For some time, we had in mind to be weak enough
That's the night we call each others bluff
Maybe wrong, but we've been strong long enough.
We've been strong long enough
For some time, we had in mind to be weak enough
That's the night we call each others bluff...
