One for the money two for the show
You've played your little game so cleverly
First you took my money then you made me go
You showed me up and made a fool of me.
Not too long ago I still remember kisses
Warm and sweet and oh, so tender
But like a boat of life that strikes an unconfected tree
That's just how quick you've made a fool of me.
One for the money two for the show
You've played your little game so cleverly
First you took my money then you made me go
You showed me up and made a fool of me.
Everybody told me what you were doing
They all said that you would be my ruin
But like the tree that couldn't see the light that's flashin' down
I closed my ears and didn't hear a sound.
One for the money two for the show
You've played your little game so cleverly
First you took my money then you made me go
You showed me up and made a fool of me...
Sound Of An Angel's Wings lyrics - Conway Twitty
Jenny was the girl that I once called my own
Then came the day my Jenny left me all alone
She died 'neath the wheels of a midnight train
Trying to find the high school ring
And that's when I first heard the sound of an angel's wings.
Oh, how my poor heart cried the day they took her away
And then something deep inside me seemed to say
Goodbye my love, remember me, I'll wait for you in eternity
And again I heard the sound of an angel's wings.
I slowly walked back to my home down by the sea
And there on the shelf was a picture of my Jenny and me
And I fell to my knees as the teardrops streamed
And I cried, Oh Lord, let it all be a dream.
But again I heard the sound of an angel's wings.
I ran down to the sea so deep and wide
I just had to be by my darling Jenny's side
And I cried, Oh Jenny please wait for me
Then jumped into the angry sea.
And again I heard the sound of an angel's wings.
And the last thing I heard was the sound of my angel's wings...
Then came the day my Jenny left me all alone
She died 'neath the wheels of a midnight train
Trying to find the high school ring
And that's when I first heard the sound of an angel's wings.
Oh, how my poor heart cried the day they took her away
And then something deep inside me seemed to say
Goodbye my love, remember me, I'll wait for you in eternity
And again I heard the sound of an angel's wings.
I slowly walked back to my home down by the sea
And there on the shelf was a picture of my Jenny and me
And I fell to my knees as the teardrops streamed
And I cried, Oh Lord, let it all be a dream.
But again I heard the sound of an angel's wings.
I ran down to the sea so deep and wide
I just had to be by my darling Jenny's side
And I cried, Oh Jenny please wait for me
Then jumped into the angry sea.
And again I heard the sound of an angel's wings.
And the last thing I heard was the sound of my angel's wings...
Darling, You Know I Wouldn't Lie lyrics - Conway Twitty
Here I am late again for the last time
And like I promised, I just told her goodbye
Please, believe me for this time it's really over
And darling, you know I wouldn't lie.
Didn't I come and tell you about her
How temptation lured she and I
But now I know it was only fascination
And darling, you know I wouldn't lie.
I had to let her down easy
As slow as I could
After all, she's got feelings too
But it took a little longer
Than I thought it would
But this time, she knows we're really through.
She wanted to hold me forever
And this lipstick shows her final try
And these tears on my shoulder
Are proof that she failed
And darling, you know I wouldn't lie...
And like I promised, I just told her goodbye
Please, believe me for this time it's really over
And darling, you know I wouldn't lie.
Didn't I come and tell you about her
How temptation lured she and I
But now I know it was only fascination
And darling, you know I wouldn't lie.
I had to let her down easy
As slow as I could
After all, she's got feelings too
But it took a little longer
Than I thought it would
But this time, she knows we're really through.
She wanted to hold me forever
And this lipstick shows her final try
And these tears on my shoulder
Are proof that she failed
And darling, you know I wouldn't lie...
Ballad Of Forty Dollars lyrics - Conway Twitty
The man who preached the funeral
Said it really was a simple way to die
He laid down to rest one afternoon
And never opened up his eyes.
They hired me and Fred and Joe
To dig the grave and carry up some chairs
It took us seven hours and
I guess we must have drunk a case of beer.
I guess I oughta go and watch 'em
Put him down but I don't own the suit
And anyway when they start talkin'
'Bout the fire and hell well I get spooked.
So I'll just sit here in my truck
And act like I don't know him when they pass
And anyway when they're all through
I've got to go to work and mow the grass.
Well, here they come and who's that ridin'
In that big ole shiny limousine
Hmm, look at all that chrome
I do believe that that's the sharpest thing I've seen.
That must belong to his great uncle
Someone said he owned a big ole farm
When they get parked I'll mosey down
And look it over that won't do no harm.
Well, that must be the widow in the car
And would you take a look at that
That sure is a pretty dress
You know some women do look good in black.
He's not even in the ground
And they say his track is up for sale
They say she took it pretty hard
But you can't tell too much behind a veil.
Now listen ain't that pretty
When the bugler plays the military taps
I think that when you's in the war
They always hired and played a song like that.
Well, here I am and there they go
And I guess you'd call it my bad luck
I hope he'll rest in peace but trouble is
That fellow owed me forty bucks...
Said it really was a simple way to die
He laid down to rest one afternoon
And never opened up his eyes.
They hired me and Fred and Joe
To dig the grave and carry up some chairs
It took us seven hours and
I guess we must have drunk a case of beer.
I guess I oughta go and watch 'em
Put him down but I don't own the suit
And anyway when they start talkin'
'Bout the fire and hell well I get spooked.
So I'll just sit here in my truck
And act like I don't know him when they pass
And anyway when they're all through

Papa Sing Me A Song lyrics - Conway Twitty
Every son wants to follow in the footsteps of his dad
That's why my boy is in this cell next to me
Tonight I'll sing him a song about mama and home
For tomorrow he'll meet his destiny.
So, I'll sing him a song about mama and home
It's all that's kept him from losing his mind
I'll sing him a song about mama and home
But tonight I'll sing my last time.
(In the morning at sunrise they're gonna take my boy out to hang
And the scaffold and thirteen steps they built near by my door
But I know that when the warden leads him past my cell
Yes he's gonna say papa sing me a song once more)
Papa sing me a song about mama and home
It's all that's kept me from losing my mind
Papa sing him a song about mama and home
But sing a song to die by this time.
Papa sing a song to die by this time...
That's why my boy is in this cell next to me
Tonight I'll sing him a song about mama and home
For tomorrow he'll meet his destiny.
So, I'll sing him a song about mama and home
It's all that's kept him from losing his mind
I'll sing him a song about mama and home
But tonight I'll sing my last time.
(In the morning at sunrise they're gonna take my boy out to hang
And the scaffold and thirteen steps they built near by my door
But I know that when the warden leads him past my cell
Yes he's gonna say papa sing me a song once more)
Papa sing me a song about mama and home
It's all that's kept me from losing my mind
Papa sing him a song about mama and home
But sing a song to die by this time.
Papa sing a song to die by this time...
Window Up Above lyrics - Conway Twitty
I've been living a new way of life that I love so
But even now the clouds're gathering
And the storm will wreck our home
I thought we belonged together that our hearts fit like a glove
I was wrong for I've been watching from the window up above.
You must have thought that I was sleeping
And I wish that I had been
But it's best to get to know you and the way your heart can sin
For last night he hugged you tightly and you didn't even shove
This is true for I've been watching from the window up above.
From my eyes the teardrops started as I listened on and on
I heard you whisper to him softly that our marriage was all wrong
Well, I hope he makes you happy, that you'll never lose his love
But I was wrong for I've been watching from the window up above.
How I wished I could be dreaming
And wake up to a love that's true
I was wrong for I've been standing at the window watching you...
But even now the clouds're gathering
And the storm will wreck our home
I thought we belonged together that our hearts fit like a glove
I was wrong for I've been watching from the window up above.
You must have thought that I was sleeping
And I wish that I had been
But it's best to get to know you and the way your heart can sin
For last night he hugged you tightly and you didn't even shove
This is true for I've been watching from the window up above.
From my eyes the teardrops started as I listened on and on
I heard you whisper to him softly that our marriage was all wrong
Well, I hope he makes you happy, that you'll never lose his love
But I was wrong for I've been watching from the window up above.
How I wished I could be dreaming
And wake up to a love that's true
I was wrong for I've been standing at the window watching you...
Table In The Corner lyrics - Conway Twitty
There's a table in the corner of a honky tonk in town
And if you should ever want me there I can be found
There'll be heartache all around me and the blues for company
At the table in the corner where we once used to meet
There'll be two chairs at the table but something won't be right
Cause one chair will be empty just like my arms tonight
Same old faces all around me everything is still the same
But the table in the corner will never share again
Oh I know that I should leave you and start my life anew
But that would mean I have to forget about you
And it's no use I can't forget you so I guess I'll spend my time
At the table in the corner with your sweet love on my mind
And if you should ever want me there I can be found
There'll be heartache all around me and the blues for company
At the table in the corner where we once used to meet
There'll be two chairs at the table but something won't be right
Cause one chair will be empty just like my arms tonight
Same old faces all around me everything is still the same
But the table in the corner will never share again
Oh I know that I should leave you and start my life anew
But that would mean I have to forget about you
And it's no use I can't forget you so I guess I'll spend my time
At the table in the corner with your sweet love on my mind
Bad Man lyrics - Conway Twitty
I have the reputation that's known throughout the land
They say I'm faster on the draw than any livin' man
They call me a bad man they say I kill for fun
They say the only thing I know is how to use a gun.
But they don't know the reason they branded me as bad
It started many years ago when I was just a lad
I rode into a cattle town a boy of twenty three
So young and yet that very day I carved my destiny
I walked into the town saloon that sad and fateful day
Then I began to gamble to pass the time away
I thought I'd play a hand or two and hit the trail again
But Lady Luck was with me and I began to win
The dealer kept on dealin' the stakes were gettin' high
And pretty soon there was no one left but an old cowboy and I
The minutes seemed like hours you couldn't hear a sound
We'd bet and raised until we'd laid all our money down
The cowboy smiled and showed his hand
Three aces he did hold
But I laid down a royal flush and reached to claim my gold
The cowboy stood and faced me his hands hung at his hips
A look of hate was in his eyes, the smile had left his lips
He said young man slap leather I'm known for miles around
To keep my reputation up I've got to gun you down
With lightnin' speed we drew and fired
One life to me the cost
The cowboy tumbled to the floor his reputation lost
Now many years have come and gone
And many men have died
Each tried his luck and hoped he'd be the fastest gun alive
And in my many fights to live I wondered if I'd won
I'm known to all as bad man they say I kill for fun
Someday I'll meet a cowboy who's speed will meet the test
And that will end the saga of the bad man of the west...
They say I'm faster on the draw than any livin' man
They call me a bad man they say I kill for fun
They say the only thing I know is how to use a gun.
But they don't know the reason they branded me as bad
It started many years ago when I was just a lad
I rode into a cattle town a boy of twenty three
So young and yet that very day I carved my destiny
I walked into the town saloon that sad and fateful day
Then I began to gamble to pass the time away
I thought I'd play a hand or two and hit the trail again
But Lady Luck was with me and I began to win
The dealer kept on dealin' the stakes were gettin' high
And pretty soon there was no one left but an old cowboy and I
The minutes seemed like hours you couldn't hear a sound
We'd bet and raised until we'd laid all our money down

The cowboy stood and faced me his hands hung at his hips
A look of hate was in his eyes, the smile had left his lips
He said young man slap leather I'm known for miles around

Bad Girl lyrics - Conway Twitty
She's not a bad girl,
She's just a sad girl
Please don't blame her
For what she's done to me.
I know it doesn't look too good for her
And I suppose she's done the things you say
And I guess it's true I tried more than I should for her
But it's not her fault that she turned out that way.
She's not a bad girl
She's just a sad girl
Please don't blame her
For what she's done to me.
Once she was the kind of girl you'd have her be
But I was foolish then and didn't care
The first of us to ever slip around was me
And to place the blame on her just isn't fair.
She's not a bad girl
She's just a sad girl
Please don't blame her
For what she's done to me.
Please don't blame her
For what she's done to me...
She's just a sad girl
Please don't blame her
For what she's done to me.
I know it doesn't look too good for her
And I suppose she's done the things you say
And I guess it's true I tried more than I should for her
But it's not her fault that she turned out that way.
She's not a bad girl
She's just a sad girl
Please don't blame her
For what she's done to me.
Once she was the kind of girl you'd have her be
But I was foolish then and didn't care
The first of us to ever slip around was me
And to place the blame on her just isn't fair.
She's not a bad girl
She's just a sad girl
Please don't blame her
For what she's done to me.
Please don't blame her
For what she's done to me...
When The Grass Grows Over Me lyrics -
When you left I thought that I would soon get over you
Even told myself that I would find somebody too
Time and tears have come and gone but not your memory
I'll be over you when the grass grows over me.
Yes, I'll be over you when you're standing over me
And as you look down at the cold cold ground I'm sleeping in
Don't expect to hear me say that I still love you then
'Cause I'll be over you when the grass grows over me.
Even when my eyes are closed they keep on seeing you
Every minute I'm alive I'm hurting through and through
And as long as I live I know I won't be free
I'll be over you when the grass grows over me.
I'll be over you when you're standing over me
And as you look down at the cold cold ground I'm sleeping in
Don't expect to hear me say that I still love you then
'Cause I'll be over you when the grass grows over me...
Even told myself that I would find somebody too
Time and tears have come and gone but not your memory
I'll be over you when the grass grows over me.
Yes, I'll be over you when you're standing over me
And as you look down at the cold cold ground I'm sleeping in
Don't expect to hear me say that I still love you then
'Cause I'll be over you when the grass grows over me.
Even when my eyes are closed they keep on seeing you
Every minute I'm alive I'm hurting through and through
And as long as I live I know I won't be free
I'll be over you when the grass grows over me.
I'll be over you when you're standing over me
And as you look down at the cold cold ground I'm sleeping in
Don't expect to hear me say that I still love you then
'Cause I'll be over you when the grass grows over me...
Kaw-Liga lyrics - Conway Twitty
Kaw-Liga was a wooden Indian, standin' by the door
He fell in love with an Indian maid, over in the antique store
Kaw-Liga just stood there and never let it show
So she could never answer yes or no.
Poor ol' Kaw-Liga he never got a kiss
Poor ol' Kaw-Liga he don't know what he missed
Is it any wonder that his face is red
Kaw-Liga that poor ol' wooden head.
He always wore his Sunday feathers and held a tomahawk
The maiden wore her beads and braids and hoped someday he'd talk
Kaw-Liga too stubborn to ever show a sign
Because his heart was made of knoty pine.
Poor ol' Kaw-Liga he never got a kiss
Poor ol' Kaw-Liga he don't know what he missed
Is it any wonder that his face is red
Kaw-Liga that poor ol' wooden head.
And then one day a wealthy customer bought the Indian maid
And took her oh, so far away but ol' Kaw-Liga stayed
Kaw-Liga just stands there as lonely as can be
And wishes he was still an old pine tree.
Poor ol' Kaw-Liga he never got a kiss
Poor ol' Kaw-Liga he don't know what he missed
Is it any wonder that his face is red
Kaw-Liga that poor ol' wooden head...
He fell in love with an Indian maid, over in the antique store
Kaw-Liga just stood there and never let it show
So she could never answer yes or no.
Poor ol' Kaw-Liga he never got a kiss
Poor ol' Kaw-Liga he don't know what he missed
Is it any wonder that his face is red
Kaw-Liga that poor ol' wooden head.
He always wore his Sunday feathers and held a tomahawk
The maiden wore her beads and braids and hoped someday he'd talk
Kaw-Liga too stubborn to ever show a sign
Because his heart was made of knoty pine.
Poor ol' Kaw-Liga he never got a kiss
Poor ol' Kaw-Liga he don't know what he missed
Is it any wonder that his face is red
Kaw-Liga that poor ol' wooden head.
And then one day a wealthy customer bought the Indian maid
And took her oh, so far away but ol' Kaw-Liga stayed
Kaw-Liga just stands there as lonely as can be
And wishes he was still an old pine tree.
Poor ol' Kaw-Liga he never got a kiss
Poor ol' Kaw-Liga he don't know what he missed
Is it any wonder that his face is red
Kaw-Liga that poor ol' wooden head...
Hungry Eyes lyrics - Conway Twitty
(originally by Merle Haggard)
A canvas covered cabin in a crowded labor camp
Stands out in this mem'ry I revive
'Cause my daddy raised a family there
With two hard working hands.
To try to feed my mama's hungry eyes
He dreamed of something better
And my mama's faith was strong
And us kids were just too young to realize.
That another class of people
Put us somewhere just below
One more reason for my mama's
Hungry eyes.
Mama never had the luxuries she wanted
But it wasn't 'cause my daddy didn't try
She only wanted things she really needed
One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes.
I remember daddy praying for a better way of life
But I don't recall a change of any size
Just a little loss of courage as their age began to show
And more sadness in my mama's hungry eyes.
Mama never had the luxuries she wanted
But it wasn't 'cause my daddy didn't try
She only wanted things she really needed
One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes.
Oh, I still recall my mama's hungry eyes...
A canvas covered cabin in a crowded labor camp
Stands out in this mem'ry I revive
'Cause my daddy raised a family there
With two hard working hands.
To try to feed my mama's hungry eyes
He dreamed of something better
And my mama's faith was strong
And us kids were just too young to realize.

And more sadness in my mama's hungry eyes.

Mama Tried lyrics - Conway Twitty
First thing I remember knowin' was a lonesome whistle blowin'
And the youngest dream of growin' up to ride
On a freight train leaving town not knowing where I'm bound
And no one could change my mind, but mama tried.
One and only rebel child for my family meek and mild
My mama seemed to know what lay in store
Inspite of all my Sunday learnin'
Toward the bad I kept on turnin'
Till mama couldn't hold me anymore.
I turned twenty one in prison doing life without parole
No one could steer me right, but mama tried, mama tried.
Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied
That leaves only me to blame, 'cause mama tried.
Dear old daddy, rest his soul, left my mama heavy load
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes
Workin' hours without rest, wanted me to have the best
She tried to raise me right but I refused.
I turned twenty one in prison doing life without parole
No one could steer me right, but mama tried, mama tried.
Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied
That leaves only me to blame, 'cause mama tried...
And the youngest dream of growin' up to ride
On a freight train leaving town not knowing where I'm bound
And no one could change my mind, but mama tried.
One and only rebel child for my family meek and mild
My mama seemed to know what lay in store
Inspite of all my Sunday learnin'
Toward the bad I kept on turnin'
Till mama couldn't hold me anymore.
I turned twenty one in prison doing life without parole
No one could steer me right, but mama tried, mama tried.
Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied
That leaves only me to blame, 'cause mama tried.
Dear old daddy, rest his soul, left my mama heavy load
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes
Workin' hours without rest, wanted me to have the best
She tried to raise me right but I refused.
I turned twenty one in prison doing life without parole
No one could steer me right, but mama tried, mama tried.
Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied
That leaves only me to blame, 'cause mama tried...
Next In Line lyrics - Conway Twitty
See her there at the table
Watch her tear at the label
From the bottle that she just drank dry
In her mind there's a burning
It took a long time, but she's learning
And just look at the deardrops she's cried.
Everbody knows I love her
But her mind is on another
And just look what he's done to her pride
And if she should change her mind
Give up the music and the wine
I'll be standing by to be the next in line
I know her favourite songs so well
And she's happy, I can tell
Just as long as she can hear the juke box play
So I'll keep playing it loud
I'll spend every dime I have
To keep her happy, in my own kind of way
Everbody knows I love her
But her mind is on another
And just look what he's done to her pride
And if she should change her mind
Give up the music and the wine
I'll be standing by to be the next in line...
Watch her tear at the label
From the bottle that she just drank dry
In her mind there's a burning
It took a long time, but she's learning
And just look at the deardrops she's cried.
Everbody knows I love her
But her mind is on another
And just look what he's done to her pride
And if she should change her mind
Give up the music and the wine
I'll be standing by to be the next in line
I know her favourite songs so well
And she's happy, I can tell
Just as long as she can hear the juke box play
So I'll keep playing it loud
I'll spend every dime I have
To keep her happy, in my own kind of way
Everbody knows I love her
But her mind is on another
And just look what he's done to her pride
And if she should change her mind
Give up the music and the wine
I'll be standing by to be the next in line...
D-I-V-O-R-C-E lyrics - Conway Twitty
Our little boy is four years old and quite a little man
So we spell out the words we don't want him to understand
Like T-O-Y or maybe S-U-R-P-R-I-S-E
But the words we're hiding from him now
Tears the heart right out of me.
Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E becomes final today
You and little J-O-E will be going away
I love you both and this will be pure H-E double L for me
Oh, I wish that we could stop this D-I-V-O-R-C-E.
Watch him smile he thinks it's Christmas or his fifth birthday
And he thinks C-U-S-T-O-D-Y spells fun or play
I spell out all the hurtin' words
Then turn my head when I speak
'Cause I can't spell away this hurt
That's dripping down my cheeks.
Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E becomes final today
You and little J-O-E will be going away
I love you both and this will be pure H-E double L for me
Oh, I wish that we could stop this D-I-V-O-R-C-E...
So we spell out the words we don't want him to understand
Like T-O-Y or maybe S-U-R-P-R-I-S-E
But the words we're hiding from him now
Tears the heart right out of me.
Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E becomes final today
You and little J-O-E will be going away
I love you both and this will be pure H-E double L for me
Oh, I wish that we could stop this D-I-V-O-R-C-E.
Watch him smile he thinks it's Christmas or his fifth birthday
And he thinks C-U-S-T-O-D-Y spells fun or play
I spell out all the hurtin' words
Then turn my head when I speak
'Cause I can't spell away this hurt
That's dripping down my cheeks.
Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E becomes final today
You and little J-O-E will be going away
I love you both and this will be pure H-E double L for me
Oh, I wish that we could stop this D-I-V-O-R-C-E...
With Pen In Hand lyrics - Conway Twitty
With pen in hand you signed your name
Today at five I'll be on that train
And you'll be free and I will be alone so alone
If you think we can't find the love we once knew
If you think I can make everything up to you
Then I'll be gone and you'll be on your own
You'll be on your own.
Can you take good care of Johnny
Can you take him to school everyday
Can you teach him how to catch a fish
And keep all those bullys away, hear what I say
Can you teach him how to whistle a tune
Can you tell him about the Man in the Moon
If you can do these things then maybe he won't miss me
Maybe he won't miss me.
And tonight as you lay in that big lonely bed
Can you look at the pillow where I laid my head
And with your heart on fire will you have no desire
To kiss me and to hold me
And if you can forget the good times we had
If you think that the good times won't outweigh the bad
Then sign your name and I'll be on my way
I'll be on my way. hmm hmm...
Today at five I'll be on that train
And you'll be free and I will be alone so alone
If you think we can't find the love we once knew
If you think I can make everything up to you
Then I'll be gone and you'll be on your own
You'll be on your own.
Can you take good care of Johnny
Can you take him to school everyday
Can you teach him how to catch a fish
And keep all those bullys away, hear what I say
Can you teach him how to whistle a tune
Can you tell him about the Man in the Moon
If you can do these things then maybe he won't miss me
Maybe he won't miss me.
And tonight as you lay in that big lonely bed
Can you look at the pillow where I laid my head
And with your heart on fire will you have no desire
To kiss me and to hold me
And if you can forget the good times we had
If you think that the good times won't outweigh the bad
Then sign your name and I'll be on my way
I'll be on my way. hmm hmm...
Us lyrics - Conway Twitty
Please don't take you out of us
You took the happy out of happiness
You took the love out of loveliness
Take all these precious things from me if you must
But please don't take you out of us.
You took the tender out of tenderness
You took the hope out of hopefulness
Take all these precious things from me if you must
But please don't take you out of us.
Take everything away that's keeping me alive
And you can take away my memory, I still survive
Take all the happiness that I've ever known
Take all the tenderness that you've ever shown
Take all these precious things from me if you must
But please don't take you out of us...
You took the happy out of happiness
You took the love out of loveliness
Take all these precious things from me if you must
But please don't take you out of us.
You took the tender out of tenderness
You took the hope out of hopefulness
Take all these precious things from me if you must
But please don't take you out of us.
Take everything away that's keeping me alive
And you can take away my memory, I still survive
Take all the happiness that I've ever known
Take all the tenderness that you've ever shown
Take all these precious things from me if you must
But please don't take you out of us...
I Told My World To Go Away lyrics - Conway Twitty
I grew tired of the world that I was living in
I looked around and found another world to take me in
It was bright and new with the skies of blue not like my skies of grey
And so I told my world to go away.
This world's not big enough for both of us so one of us must go
My mem'ry burns with unkind words I said
This world's not big enough so one of us must break away and so
I told my world to go away and she did.
What makes a man think that he can turn his world away
To wander through a world that's new and then return someday
To the one he knew was good and true the one he loved at home
I ask my world to take me back but she won't.
This world's not big enough for both of us so one of us must go
My mem'ry burns with unkind words I said
This world's not big enough so one of us must break away and so
I told my world to go away and she did...
I looked around and found another world to take me in
It was bright and new with the skies of blue not like my skies of grey
And so I told my world to go away.
This world's not big enough for both of us so one of us must go
My mem'ry burns with unkind words I said
This world's not big enough so one of us must break away and so
I told my world to go away and she did.
What makes a man think that he can turn his world away
To wander through a world that's new and then return someday
To the one he knew was good and true the one he loved at home
I ask my world to take me back but she won't.
This world's not big enough for both of us so one of us must go
My mem'ry burns with unkind words I said
This world's not big enough so one of us must break away and so
I told my world to go away and she did...
Ain't It Sad To Stand And Watch Love Die lyrics - Conway Twitty
Ain't it sad to stand and watch love die
Ain't it sad to stand and watch love die
Unfaithful wife I took her life and the quicklin' of the knife
And ain't it sad to stand and watch love die?
I found her in the arms of my best friend
And I vowed she's never gonna hurtin' me again
And in a bitter anger I shoot them where they lied
And the last words she spoke God forgive me then she died
And ain't it sad to stand and watch love die?
The neighbors gathered round so they could see
Oh my God, what have you done, they started asking me
So I placed a gun up to my head and this was my reply
Neighbor ain't it sad to stand and watch love die?
Ain't it sad to stand and watch love die?
Neighbor ain't it sad to stand and watch love die?..
Ain't it sad to stand and watch love die
Unfaithful wife I took her life and the quicklin' of the knife
And ain't it sad to stand and watch love die?
I found her in the arms of my best friend
And I vowed she's never gonna hurtin' me again
And in a bitter anger I shoot them where they lied
And the last words she spoke God forgive me then she died
And ain't it sad to stand and watch love die?
The neighbors gathered round so they could see
Oh my God, what have you done, they started asking me
So I placed a gun up to my head and this was my reply
Neighbor ain't it sad to stand and watch love die?
Ain't it sad to stand and watch love die?
Neighbor ain't it sad to stand and watch love die?..
Today I Started Loving You Again lyrics - Conway Twitty
(originally by Merle Haggard)
Today I started loving you again
I'm right back where I've really always been
I got over you just long enough to let my heartache mend
And today I started loving you again.
What a fool I was to think I could get by
With only these few million tears I cried
I should have known the worst was yet to come
And crying time for me had just begun.
Today I started loving you again
I'm right back where I've really always been
I got over you just long enough to let my heartache mend
And today I started loving you again.
And today I started loving you again...
Today I started loving you again
I'm right back where I've really always been
I got over you just long enough to let my heartache mend
And today I started loving you again.
What a fool I was to think I could get by
With only these few million tears I cried
I should have known the worst was yet to come
And crying time for me had just begun.
Today I started loving you again
I'm right back where I've really always been
I got over you just long enough to let my heartache mend
And today I started loving you again.
And today I started loving you again...
Folsom Prison Blues lyrics -
I hear the train a comin'
It's rolling round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine
Since I don't know when.
I'm stuck in Folsom prison,
And time keeps draggin' on
But that train keeps a rollin'
On down to San Anton.
When I was just a baby
My mama told me. Son,
Always be a good boy,
Don't ever play with guns.
But I shot a man in Reno
Just to watch him die
Now every time I hear that whistle
I hang my head and cry.
I bet there's rich folks eating
In a fancy dining car
They're probably drinkin' coffee
And smoking big cigars.
Well, I know I had it coming,
I know I can't be free
But those people keep a movin'
And that's what tortures me.
Well, if they'd free me from this prison,
If that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move just a little further
Down the line.
Far from Folsom prison,
That's where I want to stay
And I'd let that lonesome whistle
Blow my blues away...
It's rolling round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine
Since I don't know when.
I'm stuck in Folsom prison,
And time keeps draggin' on
But that train keeps a rollin'
On down to San Anton.
When I was just a baby
My mama told me. Son,
Always be a good boy,
Don't ever play with guns.
But I shot a man in Reno
Just to watch him die
Now every time I hear that whistle
I hang my head and cry.
I bet there's rich folks eating
In a fancy dining car
They're probably drinkin' coffee
And smoking big cigars.
Well, I know I had it coming,
I know I can't be free
But those people keep a movin'
And that's what tortures me.
Well, if they'd free me from this prison,
If that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move just a little further
Down the line.
Far from Folsom prison,
That's where I want to stay
And I'd let that lonesome whistle
Blow my blues away...
Things I Lost In You lyrics - Conway Twitty
It's over, I've known it for a long time
So I went out and found somebody new
She gave me the kind of love I wanted
And I found in her the things I lost in you.
I loved you darlin', how I loved you
I still recall each tender memory
But there's one thing I guess I'll never understand
What made you turn and walk away from me.
I thought it would last for a lifetime
I didn't think you'd ever prove untrue
Oh, but it's over I found someone who really cares
And I found in her the things I lost in you...
So I went out and found somebody new
She gave me the kind of love I wanted
And I found in her the things I lost in you.
I loved you darlin', how I loved you
I still recall each tender memory
But there's one thing I guess I'll never understand
What made you turn and walk away from me.
I thought it would last for a lifetime
I didn't think you'd ever prove untrue
Oh, but it's over I found someone who really cares
And I found in her the things I lost in you...
I'm Checking Out lyrics - Conway Twitty
Lately you've been acting kind of strange, it's true
Everybody knows there's been a change in you
You come home for awhile and then you're gone again
Well I thought I'd better let you know just where I stand.
I'm tired of bein' the loser in this game you play
You're gonna wish you'd been truer, when I'm gone someday
You'll try to get me to come back, but I won't make a deal
And I thought I'd better let you know just how I feel.
I feel like crying each night when I'm alone
I feel like dying each time you don't come home
But that's all over now, I've learned a thing or two
I might just go out and find myself somebody new.
And just in case you're wonderin' what it's all about
Well, I thought I'd better let you know I'm checking out.
I feel like crying each night when I'm alone
I feel like dying each time you don't come home
But that's all over now, I've learned a thing or two
I might just go out and find myself somebody new.
And just in case you're wonderin' what it's all about
Well, I thought I'd better let you know I'm checking out.
Well, I thought I'd better let you know I'm checking out...
Everybody knows there's been a change in you
You come home for awhile and then you're gone again
Well I thought I'd better let you know just where I stand.
I'm tired of bein' the loser in this game you play
You're gonna wish you'd been truer, when I'm gone someday
You'll try to get me to come back, but I won't make a deal
And I thought I'd better let you know just how I feel.
I feel like crying each night when I'm alone
I feel like dying each time you don't come home
But that's all over now, I've learned a thing or two
I might just go out and find myself somebody new.
And just in case you're wonderin' what it's all about
Well, I thought I'd better let you know I'm checking out.
I feel like crying each night when I'm alone
I feel like dying each time you don't come home
But that's all over now, I've learned a thing or two
I might just go out and find myself somebody new.
And just in case you're wonderin' what it's all about
Well, I thought I'd better let you know I'm checking out.
Well, I thought I'd better let you know I'm checking out...
Dim Lights, Thick Smoke And Loud, Loud Music lyrics - Conway Twitty
Dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music
Is the only kind of life you'll ever understand
Dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music
You'll never make a wife to a home-loving man
A home and little children mean nothing to you
A house filled with love and a husband that's true
You'd rather have a drink with the first guy you meet
And the only home you know is the club down the street
Dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music
Is the only kind of life you'll ever understand
Dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music
You'll never make a wife to a home-loving man
Dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music
You'll never make a wife to a home-loving man...
Is the only kind of life you'll ever understand
Dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music
You'll never make a wife to a home-loving man
A home and little children mean nothing to you
A house filled with love and a husband that's true
You'd rather have a drink with the first guy you meet
And the only home you know is the club down the street
Dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music
Is the only kind of life you'll ever understand
Dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music
You'll never make a wife to a home-loving man
Dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music
You'll never make a wife to a home-loving man...
Skip A Rope lyrics - Conway Twitty
Skip a rope, skip a rope
Awwwww listen to the children
While they play
Now, ain't it kinda' funny
What the children say.
Skip a rope.
Daddy hates momma and momma hates dad
Last night, you should've heard the fight they had
It gave little sister another bad dream
She woke us all up with a terrible scream.
Skip a rope, skip a rope,
Awwwww listen to the children
While they play
Now, ain't it kinda' funny
What the children say.
Skip a rope.
Cheat on your taxes, don't be a fool
Now, what was that they said about a Golden Rule?
Well, never mind the rules, just play to win
And hate your neighbor for the shade of their skin.
Skip a rope, skip a rope.
Awww listen to the children
While they play
Now, ain't it kinda' funny
What the children say.
Skip a rope.
Stab 'em in the back,
That's the name of the game
And momma and daddy
Are who's to blame.
Skip a rope, skip a rope.
Awww listen to the children
While they play
It's really not very funny
What the children say.
Skip a rope, skip a rope.
Skip a rope, skip a rope
Awwwww listen to the children
While they play
Now, ain't it kinda' funny
What the children say.
Skip a rope.
Daddy hates momma and momma hates dad
Last night, you should've heard the fight they had
It gave little sister another bad dream
She woke us all up with a terrible scream.
Skip a rope, skip a rope,
Awwwww listen to the children
While they play
Now, ain't it kinda' funny
What the children say.
Skip a rope.
Cheat on your taxes, don't be a fool
Now, what was that they said about a Golden Rule?
Well, never mind the rules, just play to win
And hate your neighbor for the shade of their skin.
Skip a rope, skip a rope.
Awww listen to the children
While they play
Now, ain't it kinda' funny
What the children say.
Skip a rope.
Stab 'em in the back,
That's the name of the game
And momma and daddy
Are who's to blame.
Skip a rope, skip a rope.
Awww listen to the children
While they play
It's really not very funny
What the children say.
Skip a rope, skip a rope.
Skip a rope, skip a rope
Sing Me Back Home lyrics - Conway Twitty
The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom
I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest
And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell
'Let my guitar playing friend do my request'
'Let him sing me back home with a song I used to hear
Make my old memories come alive
Take me away and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die'
I recall last Sunday morning a choir from 'cross the street
Came to sing a few old gospel songs
And I heard him tell the singers, 'There's a song my mama sang
Could I hear once before you move along?'
"Sing me back home the song my mama sang
Make my old memories come alive
Take me away and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die
Sing me back home before I die"
I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest
And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell
'Let my guitar playing friend do my request'
'Let him sing me back home with a song I used to hear
Make my old memories come alive
Take me away and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die'
I recall last Sunday morning a choir from 'cross the street
Came to sing a few old gospel songs
And I heard him tell the singers, 'There's a song my mama sang
Could I hear once before you move along?'
"Sing me back home the song my mama sang
Make my old memories come alive
Take me away and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die
Sing me back home before I die"
The Image Of Me lyrics - Conway Twitty
Yes, I know she's the life of the party
And without her, things here would die
Oh, but don't be fooled by her laughter
She has her sad times, she knows how to cry.
She drinks, and she talks
Just a little too loud
And with her pride gone, she tags along
With any old crowd.
Yes, I know I'm to blame
And I feel so ashamed
That I made her the image of me.
I met her in a little country town
She was simple and old-fashioned in some ways
But she loved me till I dragged her down
Then she just gave up and drifted away.
She drinks, and she talks
Just a little too loud
And with her pride gone, she tags along
With any old crowd.
Yes, I know I'm to blame
And I feel so ashamed
That I made her the image of me...
And without her, things here would die
Oh, but don't be fooled by her laughter
She has her sad times, she knows how to cry.
She drinks, and she talks
Just a little too loud
And with her pride gone, she tags along
With any old crowd.
Yes, I know I'm to blame
And I feel so ashamed
That I made her the image of me.
I met her in a little country town
She was simple and old-fashioned in some ways
But she loved me till I dragged her down
Then she just gave up and drifted away.
She drinks, and she talks
Just a little too loud
And with her pride gone, she tags along
With any old crowd.
Yes, I know I'm to blame
And I feel so ashamed
That I made her the image of me...
I Don't Mind lyrics -
It used to break my heart each time you cheated,
I tried to leave you, the Lord knows how I've tried
But I stayed here no matter how I'm treated
And all it really cost me was my pride.
But I don't mind,
I don't mind
I did for a time
But I don't mind.
You and I have a perfect understanding
You come and you go as you please
And I never get too angry or demanding
It's hard to get mad on your knees.
But I don't mind,
Baby, I don't mind
I did for a time
But I don't mind.
Once I was strong as a mountain,
I stood tall like a giant Oak tree
Now my blood runs thin like water in a fountain
You took all the man outta me.
But I don't mind,
Baby, I don't mind
I did for a time
But I don't mind
I tried to leave you, the Lord knows how I've tried
But I stayed here no matter how I'm treated
And all it really cost me was my pride.
But I don't mind,
I don't mind
I did for a time
But I don't mind.
You and I have a perfect understanding
You come and you go as you please
And I never get too angry or demanding
It's hard to get mad on your knees.
But I don't mind,
Baby, I don't mind
I did for a time
But I don't mind.
Once I was strong as a mountain,
I stood tall like a giant Oak tree
Now my blood runs thin like water in a fountain
You took all the man outta me.
But I don't mind,
Baby, I don't mind
I did for a time
But I don't mind
Tender Years lyrics - Conway Twitty
You keep saying you love him
I believe that it's true
And it just doesn't matter
How much I love you
But in time you'll understand, dear
When you shed a tear
Then you'll know you were living
In your tender years.
In your eyes there's a lovelight
That shines for him
But how long will it stay there
Will that lovelight grow dim
You can just see the happiness
You can't see the tears
Its true 'cause you're living
In your tender years.
So if I can't be your first love
I'll wait and be your last
I'll be somewhere in your future
To help you forget the past
And you'll know that I love you
With a love that's sincere
'Cause I'll wait till you're thru living
In your tender years.
Yes, you'll know that I love you
With a love that's sincere
Yes, I'll wait till you're thru living
In your tender years...
I believe that it's true
And it just doesn't matter
How much I love you
But in time you'll understand, dear
When you shed a tear
Then you'll know you were living
In your tender years.
In your eyes there's a lovelight
That shines for him
But how long will it stay there
Will that lovelight grow dim
You can just see the happiness
You can't see the tears
Its true 'cause you're living
In your tender years.
So if I can't be your first love
I'll wait and be your last
I'll be somewhere in your future
To help you forget the past
And you'll know that I love you
With a love that's sincere
'Cause I'll wait till you're thru living
In your tender years.
Yes, you'll know that I love you
With a love that's sincere
Yes, I'll wait till you're thru living
In your tender years...
Jambalaya (On The Bayou) lyrics - Conway Twitty
Goodbye Joe, me gotta go, me-oh, my-oh
Me gotta go pole the pirogue down the bayou
My Yvonne, the sweetest one, me-oh, my-oh
Son of a gun, we'll have good fun on the bayou.
Jambalaya, a-crawfish pie and-a file gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my machez amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.
Thibodeaux, Fontainbleau, the place is buzzin'
Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Dress in style, go hog wild, me-oh my-oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.
Jambalaya, a-crawfish pie and-a file gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my machez amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.
Jambalaya, a-crawfish pie and-a fillet gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my machez amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou...
Me gotta go pole the pirogue down the bayou
My Yvonne, the sweetest one, me-oh, my-oh
Son of a gun, we'll have good fun on the bayou.
Jambalaya, a-crawfish pie and-a file gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my machez amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.
Thibodeaux, Fontainbleau, the place is buzzin'
Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Dress in style, go hog wild, me-oh my-oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.
Jambalaya, a-crawfish pie and-a file gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my machez amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.
Jambalaya, a-crawfish pie and-a fillet gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my machez amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou...
By The Time I Get To Phoenix lyrics - Conway Twitty
By the time I get to Phoenix, she'll be risin',
She'll find the note I left hangin' on her door.
She'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leavin',
'Cause I've left that girl so many times before.
By the time I make Albuquerque, she'll be workin',
She'll probably stop at lunch and give me a call.
But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringin',
Off the wall, that's all.
By the time I make Oklahoma, she'll be sleepin',
She'll turn softly and call my name out low.
And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her,
Though time and time I've tried to tell her so.
She just didn't know I would really go...
She'll find the note I left hangin' on her door.
She'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leavin',
'Cause I've left that girl so many times before.
By the time I make Albuquerque, she'll be workin',
She'll probably stop at lunch and give me a call.
But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringin',
Off the wall, that's all.
By the time I make Oklahoma, she'll be sleepin',
She'll turn softly and call my name out low.
And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her,
Though time and time I've tried to tell her so.
She just didn't know I would really go...
You Sure Know How To Hurt A Friend lyrics - Conway Twitty
You see these little teardrops in my eyes
You ask me if I'll ever love again
I don't think you really meant to hurt my heart
That's on the mend
You sure know how to hurt a friend.
You tell me she still looks the aame
And I'm trying to forget her name
I don't want the memory of her
Hangin' around me again
You sure know how to hurt a friend.
Each time I hear her name I hurt again
Thoughts of our good love race through my brain.
To hurt with every thought Oof her
I know would be a sin
You sure know how to hurt a friend.
Her neon memory lights up my heart
You mention her again it might start.
Teardrops falling from my eyes
May never stop again.
You sure know how to hurt a friend.
You sure know how to hurt a friend.
You sure know how to hurt a friend...
You ask me if I'll ever love again
I don't think you really meant to hurt my heart
That's on the mend
You sure know how to hurt a friend.
You tell me she still looks the aame
And I'm trying to forget her name
I don't want the memory of her
Hangin' around me again
You sure know how to hurt a friend.
Each time I hear her name I hurt again
Thoughts of our good love race through my brain.
To hurt with every thought Oof her
I know would be a sin
You sure know how to hurt a friend.
Her neon memory lights up my heart
You mention her again it might start.
Teardrops falling from my eyes
May never stop again.
You sure know how to hurt a friend.
You sure know how to hurt a friend.
You sure know how to hurt a friend...
Sensitive Heart lyrics - Conway Twitty
Don't tell me you don't love me even if it's just in fun
I love you so much the shock of it would kill me before you were done
And never say you're leaving I die before you could start
When it comes to you and our love I have sensitive heart.
I never knew such happiness I feel with you each day and night
I never thought a woman could mean so much to one man's life
Tears come to my eyes just thinking that we could ever part
For darling I love you so much in my sensitive heart.
I never knew such happiness I feel with you each day and night
I never thought a woman could mean so much to one man's life
Tears come to my eyes just thinking that we could ever part
For darling I love you so much in my sensitive heart...
I love you so much the shock of it would kill me before you were done
And never say you're leaving I die before you could start
When it comes to you and our love I have sensitive heart.
I never knew such happiness I feel with you each day and night
I never thought a woman could mean so much to one man's life
Tears come to my eyes just thinking that we could ever part
For darling I love you so much in my sensitive heart.
I never knew such happiness I feel with you each day and night
I never thought a woman could mean so much to one man's life
Tears come to my eyes just thinking that we could ever part
For darling I love you so much in my sensitive heart...
Take Me As I Am lyrics - Conway Twitty
Take me, take me to your darkest room
Close every window and bolt every door
The very moment I heard your voice
I'd be in darkness no more.
Take me to your most barren desert
A thousand miles from the nearest sea
The very moment I saw your smile
It would be like heaven to me.
There's not any mountain too rocky to climb
No desert too barren to cross
Somewhere if you could just show a sign of love
I could bear any loss.
Take me to Siberia
And to coldest weather of the wintertime
It would be just like spring in California
As long as I knew you were mine.
There's not any mountain too rocky to climb
No desert too barren to cross
Somewhere if you could just show a sign of love
I could bear any loss...
Close every window and bolt every door
The very moment I heard your voice
I'd be in darkness no more.
Take me to your most barren desert
A thousand miles from the nearest sea
The very moment I saw your smile
It would be like heaven to me.
There's not any mountain too rocky to climb
No desert too barren to cross
Somewhere if you could just show a sign of love
I could bear any loss.
Take me to Siberia
And to coldest weather of the wintertime
It would be just like spring in California
As long as I knew you were mine.
There's not any mountain too rocky to climb
No desert too barren to cross
Somewhere if you could just show a sign of love
I could bear any loss...
Working Girl lyrics - Conway Twitty
Working girl, working girl,
I love you working girl
And all the things that you do
Mhm I don't know what I would do
If you should up and leave
Just sit and grieve.
Sit and grieve, working girl.

Each time I think it's over she makes me
See she loves just me only me working girl.

Working girl working girl I love you working girl
I love the things that you do...
But I Dropped It lyrics - Conway Twitty
I was a man with a world in his hand
But I dropped it
A world of dreams a world of plans
But I dropped it.
It didn't lay there very long
I turned around and it was gone
He took my girl he put my world right in his pocket
All she wanted was my love and understanding
I didn't care enough
I wasn't bear enough
And she got lonely.
I was a man with a world in his hand
But I dropped it
A world of dreams a world of plans
But I dropped it.
And good things don't just lay around
Neglected on the ground
He took my girl he put my world
Right in his pocket
He took my girl he put my world
Right in his pocket...
But I dropped it
A world of dreams a world of plans
But I dropped it.
It didn't lay there very long
I turned around and it was gone
He took my girl he put my world right in his pocket
All she wanted was my love and understanding
I didn't care enough
I wasn't bear enough
And she got lonely.
I was a man with a world in his hand
But I dropped it
A world of dreams a world of plans
But I dropped it.
And good things don't just lay around
Neglected on the ground
He took my girl he put my world
Right in his pocket
He took my girl he put my world
Right in his pocket...
Things Have Gone To Pieces lyrics - Conway Twitty
Oh, the fault it started drippin' in the kitchen
And last night your picture fell down from the wall
Today the boss said sorry I can't use you anymore
And just then the life all went out in the hall.
Things have gone to pieces since you left me
Nothing turns out half right now it seems
There ain't noithing in my pocket but three nickels and a dime
But I'm holding to the pieces of my dream.
Things have gone to pieces since you left me
Nothing turns out half right now it seems
There ain't noithing in my pocket but three nickels and a dime
But I'm holding to the pieces of my dream...
And last night your picture fell down from the wall
Today the boss said sorry I can't use you anymore
And just then the life all went out in the hall.
Things have gone to pieces since you left me
Nothing turns out half right now it seems
There ain't noithing in my pocket but three nickels and a dime
But I'm holding to the pieces of my dream.
Things have gone to pieces since you left me
Nothing turns out half right now it seems
There ain't noithing in my pocket but three nickels and a dime
But I'm holding to the pieces of my dream...
Walk Me To The Door lyrics - Conway Twitty
Walk me to the door and hold me close just one more time,
Kiss me just once more the way you did when you were mine.
The longest walk I'll ever take will be across that floor
that's why I'm asking one last favor Walk me to the door.
I love another, won't you let me be
These are the words you said to me.
How can I go through life without you like it was before
When I can't even make it to the door.
Walk me to the door and hold me close just one more time
Kiss me just once more the way you did when you were mine.
The longest walk I'll ever take will be across that floor
that's why I'm asking one last favor Walk me to the door.
I promise I won't try to make amends,
I know I don't deserve you back again.
My trembling lips are begging, they never did before
Just one last favor Walk me to the door.
Walk me to the door and hold me close just one more time,
Kiss me just once more the way you did when you were mine.
The longest walk I'll ever take will be across that floor
that's why I'm asking one last favor Walk me to the door...
Kiss me just once more the way you did when you were mine.
The longest walk I'll ever take will be across that floor
that's why I'm asking one last favor Walk me to the door.
I love another, won't you let me be
These are the words you said to me.
How can I go through life without you like it was before
When I can't even make it to the door.
Walk me to the door and hold me close just one more time
Kiss me just once more the way you did when you were mine.
The longest walk I'll ever take will be across that floor
that's why I'm asking one last favor Walk me to the door.
I promise I won't try to make amends,
I know I don't deserve you back again.
My trembling lips are begging, they never did before
Just one last favor Walk me to the door.
Walk me to the door and hold me close just one more time,
Kiss me just once more the way you did when you were mine.
The longest walk I'll ever take will be across that floor
that's why I'm asking one last favor Walk me to the door...
Two Of The Usual lyrics - Conway Twitty
We had just set our wedding day and I took you home
And went to a quiet place to celebrate alone
Then I heard your laughter and turned in time to see
You enter with someone a stranger to me.
Two of the usual I heard him say
Two of the usual in a two familiar ways
The truth has no mercy or kindness it seems
For two of the usual just shattered my dreams.
My body was trembling down to my fingertips
With your goodnight kisses still warm on my lips
I sat there in darkness alone and afraid
And my world turned to pieces at the order he gave.
Two of the usual I heard him say
Two of the usual in a two familiar ways
The truth has no mercy or kindness it seems
For two of the usual just shattered my dreams...
And went to a quiet place to celebrate alone
Then I heard your laughter and turned in time to see
You enter with someone a stranger to me.
Two of the usual I heard him say
Two of the usual in a two familiar ways
The truth has no mercy or kindness it seems
For two of the usual just shattered my dreams.
My body was trembling down to my fingertips
With your goodnight kisses still warm on my lips
I sat there in darkness alone and afraid
And my world turned to pieces at the order he gave.
Two of the usual I heard him say
Two of the usual in a two familiar ways
The truth has no mercy or kindness it seems
For two of the usual just shattered my dreams...
Life Turned Her That Way lyrics - Conway Twitty
If she seems cold and bitter
I beg of you stop and consider all she's been through
Don't be quick to condemn her for things she might say
Oh don't blame her, life turned her that way.
She's been walked on and stepped on so many times
And I hate to admit it but that last footprint's mine
She was crying when I met her, she cries harder today
Oh, don't blame her, life turned her that way.
She's been walked on and stepped on so many times
And I hate to admit it but that last footprint's mine
She was crying when I met her, she cries harder today
Oh, don't blame her, life turned her that way.
Oh, don't blame her, life turned her that way...
I beg of you stop and consider all she's been through
Don't be quick to condemn her for things she might say
Oh don't blame her, life turned her that way.
She's been walked on and stepped on so many times
And I hate to admit it but that last footprint's mine
She was crying when I met her, she cries harder today
Oh, don't blame her, life turned her that way.
She's been walked on and stepped on so many times
And I hate to admit it but that last footprint's mine
She was crying when I met her, she cries harder today
Oh, don't blame her, life turned her that way.
Oh, don't blame her, life turned her that way...
Go Woman Go lyrics - Conway Twitty
Go woman go
Go woman go
There you stand to
Tellin' me you're gettin' tired of me.
You're sayin' that I've changed up
Not the way I used to be
Well, there's some things I wanna say
I think you ought to know
And then I think I'm gonna let you
Go woman go.
I stood by and watched you
As you tore my honor down
I even bought the clothes you wore
To go out on the town.
I thought you'd have your fling
And settle down but now I know
That all you ever wanted
Was to go woman go.
Now there you stand to
Tellin' me you're walkin' out the door
You're sayin' that you've had it
That you can't stand me no more.
You're thinkin' that I'll take you back
The way I did before
But not this time I've set your free
To go woman go.
Woman, go woman go.
Woman, go woman go...
Go woman go
There you stand to
Tellin' me you're gettin' tired of me.
You're sayin' that I've changed up
Not the way I used to be
Well, there's some things I wanna say
I think you ought to know
And then I think I'm gonna let you
Go woman go.
I stood by and watched you
As you tore my honor down
I even bought the clothes you wore
To go out on the town.
I thought you'd have your fling
And settle down but now I know
That all you ever wanted
Was to go woman go.
Now there you stand to
Tellin' me you're walkin' out the door
You're sayin' that you've had it
That you can't stand me no more.
You're thinkin' that I'll take you back
The way I did before
But not this time I've set your free
To go woman go.
Woman, go woman go.
Woman, go woman go...
Don't Put Your Hurt In My Heart lyrics - Conway Twitty
Don't put your hurt in my heart
Stop what you're planning before you start
Yes, I loved you once it's true but now I'm over you
Don't put your hurt in my heart.
Don't put your burning in my eyes
'Cause the burning only stops when I cry
Once my teardrops fell like rain
Washed away the burning flame.
And it washed all your hurt from my heart
Don't put your sorry in my mind
'Cause it's useless and you're only wasting time
I got over you before I can't chance it anymore.
Don't put your hurt in my heart.
Don't put your hurt in my heart...
Stop what you're planning before you start
Yes, I loved you once it's true but now I'm over you
Don't put your hurt in my heart.
Don't put your burning in my eyes
'Cause the burning only stops when I cry
Once my teardrops fell like rain
Washed away the burning flame.
And it washed all your hurt from my heart
Don't put your sorry in my mind
'Cause it's useless and you're only wasting time
I got over you before I can't chance it anymore.
Don't put your hurt in my heart.
Don't put your hurt in my heart...
Walk Through This World With Me lyrics - Conway Twitty
Walk through this world with me,
Go where I go
Share all my my dreams with me,
I need you so
In life we search and some of us find
I've looked for you a long, long time.
And now that I've found you,
New horizons I see
Come take my hand
And walk through this world with me.
Walk through this world with me,
Go where I go
Share all my dreams with me,
I need you so.
And now that I've found you,
New horizons I see
Come take my hand,
And walk through this world with me...
I Threw Away The Rose lyrics - Conway Twitty
(originally by Merle Haggard)
Once I lived a life of wine and roses
And I drank a lot back then for one concern
Success for me lay just around the corner
I thought my social friends would help me make the turn.
But now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses
A victim of the drunken life I chose
Now all my social friends look down their noses
'Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose.
I stood by and watched the bottle take a man of me
The turn I made was not the one I'd planned
And I watched my social friends slip away from me
While I watched the bottle slowly take command.
But now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses
A victim of the drunken life I chose
Now all my social friends look down their noses
'Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose...
Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose
Once I lived a life of wine and roses
And I drank a lot back then for one concern
Success for me lay just around the corner
I thought my social friends would help me make the turn.
But now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses
A victim of the drunken life I chose
Now all my social friends look down their noses
'Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose.
I stood by and watched the bottle take a man of me
The turn I made was not the one I'd planned
And I watched my social friends slip away from me
While I watched the bottle slowly take command.
But now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses
A victim of the drunken life I chose
Now all my social friends look down their noses
'Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose...
Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose
A Wound Time Can't Erase lyrics - Conway Twitty
Have you found since you turned me down
The one that you were searching for
Are you glad since you made me sad
For you know I vowed to love you ever more.
What did you have in mind when you broke this heart of mine
Are you laughing in my face
Darling what can I do when you say we are through
You've left a wound time can't erase.
Tell me dear are you satisfied
To be foot loose and fancy free
Is it power you want for the things you have done
What you've gained I guess I'll never see.
What did you have in mind when you broke this heart of mine
Are you laughing in my face
Darling what can I do when you say we are through
You've left a wound time can't erase...
The one that you were searching for
Are you glad since you made me sad
For you know I vowed to love you ever more.
What did you have in mind when you broke this heart of mine
Are you laughing in my face
Darling what can I do when you say we are through
You've left a wound time can't erase.
Tell me dear are you satisfied
To be foot loose and fancy free
Is it power you want for the things you have done
What you've gained I guess I'll never see.
What did you have in mind when you broke this heart of mine
Are you laughing in my face
Darling what can I do when you say we are through
You've left a wound time can't erase...
Funny (But I'm Not Laughing) lyrics - Conway Twitty
Well, I just saw you out with another
And I watched as you held his hand
It seems funny to see you with him instead of me
Funny but I'm not laughing.
Then I heard you say it's all over
That you never loved me anyway
That the things we had done were only in fun
Funny but I'm not laughing.
Then I turned away so my eyes couldn't see
His arms were around you where mine used to be
You would have laughed if you'd have only seen me
Yes, I guess, I was a funny sight to see
Standing there on the street
With my heart at my feet
Funny but I'm not laughing.
Funny but I'm not laughing...
And I watched as you held his hand
It seems funny to see you with him instead of me
Funny but I'm not laughing.
Then I heard you say it's all over
That you never loved me anyway
That the things we had done were only in fun
Funny but I'm not laughing.
Then I turned away so my eyes couldn't see
His arms were around you where mine used to be
You would have laughed if you'd have only seen me
Yes, I guess, I was a funny sight to see
Standing there on the street
With my heart at my feet
Funny but I'm not laughing.
Funny but I'm not laughing...
Don't You Believe Her lyrics - Conway Twitty
She can give you a reason to live if she wants to
She can make you forget other loves that you've known
She has two lips and two arms that thrill you as bad if you do
And if you want her to give them to you she will.
Don't you believe her
I did and soon she'll be leaving me
Don't you believe her
I did and soon she'll be leaving you.
She can tell you a lie you'll believe if she has to
And you'll trust her till time and tie both stands still
She can cry on your shoulder
And swear to the things that she won't do.
Ah, but be careful cause when you're not looking she will
Don't you believe her
I did and soon she'll be leaving me
Don't you believe her
I did and soon she'll be leaving you.
Don't you believe her
I did and soon she'll be leaving me
Don't you believe her
I did and soon she'll be leaving you.
She can make you forget other loves that you've known
She has two lips and two arms that thrill you as bad if you do
And if you want her to give them to you she will.
Don't you believe her
I did and soon she'll be leaving me
Don't you believe her
I did and soon she'll be leaving you.
She can tell you a lie you'll believe if she has to
And you'll trust her till time and tie both stands still
She can cry on your shoulder
And swear to the things that she won't do.
Ah, but be careful cause when you're not looking she will
Don't you believe her
I did and soon she'll be leaving me
Don't you believe her
I did and soon she'll be leaving you.
Don't you believe her
I did and soon she'll be leaving me
Don't you believe her
I did and soon she'll be leaving you.
Almost Persuaded lyrics - Conway Twitty
Last night all alone in a barroom
Met the girl with a drink in her hand
She had ruby red lips and coal black hair
And eyes that would tempt any man
Then she came and sat down at my table
And as she placed her soft hands in mine
I found myself wanting to kiss her
For temptation was flowing like wine
And I was almost persuaded
To strip myself of my pride
Almost persuaded
To put my conscience aside
Then we danced and she whispered I need you
Take me away from here and be my man
Then I looked in her eyes and I saw it
The reflection of my wedding band
And I was almost persuaded
To let soft lips lead me on
Almost persuaded
But your sweet love made me stop and go home...
Met the girl with a drink in her hand
She had ruby red lips and coal black hair
And eyes that would tempt any man
Then she came and sat down at my table
And as she placed her soft hands in mine
I found myself wanting to kiss her
For temptation was flowing like wine
And I was almost persuaded
To strip myself of my pride
Almost persuaded
To put my conscience aside
Then we danced and she whispered I need you
Take me away from here and be my man
Then I looked in her eyes and I saw it
The reflection of my wedding band
And I was almost persuaded
To let soft lips lead me on
Almost persuaded
But your sweet love made me stop and go home...
I Don't Want To Be With Me lyrics - Conway Twitty
People say when I walk by
There he goes a lucky guy
He got a big long car, a lotta money too
But I don't wanna be with me
If you're not with me too.
Fancy clothes, diamond rings
Pretty house, Yeah, all these things
People say he can't be blue
But I don't wanna be with me
If you're not with me too.
My fancy clothes, my diamond rings
Pretty house, Yeah, all these things
I'd give them all up for you
'Cause I don't wanna be with me
If you're not with me too.
No, I don't wanna be with me
If you're not with me too...
There he goes a lucky guy
He got a big long car, a lotta money too
But I don't wanna be with me
If you're not with me too.
Fancy clothes, diamond rings
Pretty house, Yeah, all these things
People say he can't be blue
But I don't wanna be with me
If you're not with me too.
My fancy clothes, my diamond rings
Pretty house, Yeah, all these things
I'd give them all up for you
'Cause I don't wanna be with me
If you're not with me too.
No, I don't wanna be with me
If you're not with me too...
I Made Her That Way lyrics - Conway Twitty
See that girl over there by the jukebox
Hear the lonely song that she play
Well, you ask me if I know why she's crying
I know a little, I made her that way.
Well, you ask me if I know why she's lonely
And why her head is dizzy from wine
And did I know she was everybody's baby
I know a little, for once she was mine.
Well, I knew her when she was happy
And I love you, was all she could say
But a lot of times I let her get lonely
I know a little, I made her that way.
I knew her when she was happy
And I love you, was all she could say
But a lot of times I let her get lonely
I know a little, I made her that way.
I know a little, I made her that way...
Hear the lonely song that she play
Well, you ask me if I know why she's crying
I know a little, I made her that way.
Well, you ask me if I know why she's lonely
And why her head is dizzy from wine
And did I know she was everybody's baby
I know a little, for once she was mine.
Well, I knew her when she was happy
And I love you, was all she could say
But a lot of times I let her get lonely
I know a little, I made her that way.
I knew her when she was happy
And I love you, was all she could say
But a lot of times I let her get lonely
I know a little, I made her that way.
I know a little, I made her that way...
Wild Side Of Life lyrics - Conway Twitty
You wouldn't read my letter if I wrote
You you asked me not to call you on the phone
But there's something I'm wanting to tell you
So I wrote it in the words of this song.
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels
I might have known you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went back to the wild side of life.
The glamour of the gay night life has lured you
To the places where the wine and liquor flow
Where you wait to be anybody's baby
And forget the truest love you'll ever know.
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels
I might have known you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went back to the wild side of life...
You you asked me not to call you on the phone
But there's something I'm wanting to tell you
So I wrote it in the words of this song.
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels
I might have known you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went back to the wild side of life.
The glamour of the gay night life has lured you
To the places where the wine and liquor flow
Where you wait to be anybody's baby
And forget the truest love you'll ever know.
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels
I might have known you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went back to the wild side of life...
There Stands The Glass lyrics - Conway Twitty
There stands the glass,
That will ease all my pain
It will settle my brain,
It's my first one today
There stands the glass,
Fill it up to the brim
Till my troubles grow dim,
Then I'll be on my way.
I wonder where you are tonight
I wonder if you are all right
I wonder if you think of me
In my misery.
There stands the glass,
Fill it up to the brim
Till my troubles grow dim,
Then I'll be on my way.
I wonder where you are tonight
I wonder if you are all right
I wonder if you think of me
In my misery.
There stands the glass,
Fill it up to the brim
Till my troubles grow dim,
Then I'll be on my way...
That will ease all my pain
It will settle my brain,
It's my first one today
There stands the glass,
Fill it up to the brim
Till my troubles grow dim,
Then I'll be on my way.
I wonder where you are tonight
I wonder if you are all right
I wonder if you think of me
In my misery.
There stands the glass,
Fill it up to the brim
Till my troubles grow dim,
Then I'll be on my way.
I wonder where you are tonight
I wonder if you are all right
I wonder if you think of me
In my misery.
There stands the glass,
Fill it up to the brim
Till my troubles grow dim,
Then I'll be on my way...
Look Into My Teardrops lyrics - Conway Twitty
Look into my teardrops
And darlin' you will see
The reflection of an angel
That made a fool of me.
Look into my teardrops
And you will see the eyes
That promised me so many things
But all of them were lies.
Look into my teardrops
In the mirror of my soul
And you will see the girl
Who's still my only world
But I couldn't hold.
Look into my teardrops
And you will see the one
That broke my heart forever
Aren't you proud of what you've done?
Look into my teardrops
In the mirror of my soul
And you will see the girl
Who's still my only world
But I couldn't hold.
Look into my teardrops
And you will see the one
That broke my heart forever
Aren't you proud of what you've done?
Look into my teardrops
In the mirror of my soul
And you will see the girl
Who's still my only world
But I couldn't hold.
Look into my teardrops
And you will see the one
That broke my heart forever
Aren't you proud of what you've done?
And darlin' you will see
The reflection of an angel
That made a fool of me.
Look into my teardrops
And you will see the eyes
That promised me so many things
But all of them were lies.
Look into my teardrops
In the mirror of my soul
And you will see the girl
Who's still my only world
But I couldn't hold.
Look into my teardrops
And you will see the one
That broke my heart forever
Aren't you proud of what you've done?
Look into my teardrops
In the mirror of my soul
And you will see the girl
Who's still my only world
But I couldn't hold.
Look into my teardrops
And you will see the one
That broke my heart forever
Aren't you proud of what you've done?
Look into my teardrops
In the mirror of my soul
And you will see the girl
Who's still my only world
But I couldn't hold.
Look into my teardrops
And you will see the one
That broke my heart forever
Aren't you proud of what you've done?
If You Were Mine To Lose lyrics - Conway Twitty
If you were mine to lose, I'd gladly let you go
'Cause that would mean you once belonged to me
I'd gladly face the heartache of losing you some day
'Cause then at least I'd have a memory.
Through all the years I've known you, You've never noticed me
Just a friend that's all I've been to you
I'd gladly let you break my heart for just one memory
Just to know that you were mine to lose.
If I could only hold you just one time
For one short moment heaven would be mine
If you were mine to lose I'd gladly let you go
Just to know that you were mine to lose.
If you were mine to lose I'd gladly let you go
Just to know that you were mine to lose...
'Cause that would mean you once belonged to me
I'd gladly face the heartache of losing you some day
'Cause then at least I'd have a memory.
Through all the years I've known you, You've never noticed me
Just a friend that's all I've been to you
I'd gladly let you break my heart for just one memory
Just to know that you were mine to lose.
If I could only hold you just one time
For one short moment heaven would be mine
If you were mine to lose I'd gladly let you go
Just to know that you were mine to lose.
If you were mine to lose I'd gladly let you go
Just to know that you were mine to lose...
Fraulein lyrics - Conway Twitty
Far across these blue waters lives an old German's daughter
On the banks of the old River Rhine
Where I loved her and left her but I can't forget her
She is my pretty Fraulein.
Fraulein, Fraulein, look up toward the heavens at nights
When the stars start to shine
By the same stars above you I swear that I love you
You are my pretty Fraulein.
My memories wander away over yonder
To the sweetheart that I left behind
In a moment of glory her face came before me
The face of my pretty Fraulein,
Fraulein, Fraulein, walk down by the river
Pretend that your hand's holding mine
By the pale moon above you I swear that I love you
You are my pretty Fraulein...
On the banks of the old River Rhine
Where I loved her and left her but I can't forget her
She is my pretty Fraulein.
Fraulein, Fraulein, look up toward the heavens at nights
When the stars start to shine
By the same stars above you I swear that I love you
You are my pretty Fraulein.
My memories wander away over yonder
To the sweetheart that I left behind
In a moment of glory her face came before me
The face of my pretty Fraulein,
Fraulein, Fraulein, walk down by the river
Pretend that your hand's holding mine
By the pale moon above you I swear that I love you
You are my pretty Fraulein...
Take Me lyrics - Conway Twitty
Take me, take me to your darkest room
Close every window and bolt every door
The very moment I heard your voice
I'd be in darkness no more.
Take me to your most barren desert
A thousand miles from the nearest sea
The very moment I saw your smile
It would be like heaven to me.
There's not any mountain too rocky to climb
No desert too barren to cross
Somewhere if you could just show a sign of love
I could bear any loss.
Take me to Siberia
And to coldest weather of the wintertime
It would be just like spring in California
As long as I knew you were mine.
There's not any mountain too rocky to climb
No desert too barren to cross
Somewhere if you could just show a sign of love
I could bear any loss...
Close every window and bolt every door
The very moment I heard your voice
I'd be in darkness no more.
Take me to your most barren desert
A thousand miles from the nearest sea
The very moment I saw your smile
It would be like heaven to me.
There's not any mountain too rocky to climb
No desert too barren to cross
Somewhere if you could just show a sign of love
I could bear any loss.
Take me to Siberia
And to coldest weather of the wintertime
It would be just like spring in California
As long as I knew you were mine.
There's not any mountain too rocky to climb
No desert too barren to cross
Somewhere if you could just show a sign of love
I could bear any loss...
Another Man's Woman lyrics - Conway Twitty
I've tried to be strong, I've tried to leave town
This conscience of mine is getting me down.
I needed a love, someone sweet and kind
But another man's woman was all I could find.
Another man's woman, Oh Lord, can I get
It's too soon to answer for I'm falling yet.
There's so many others who need love like mine
But another man's woman was all I could find.
There's so many others...
This conscience of mine is getting me down.
I needed a love, someone sweet and kind
But another man's woman was all I could find.
Another man's woman, Oh Lord, can I get
It's too soon to answer for I'm falling yet.
There's so many others who need love like mine
But another man's woman was all I could find.
There's so many others...
Before I'll Set Her Free lyrics - Conway Twitty
I stood and saw the judge's gavel fall
And much to my dismay these words I've heard him say
I've listened to your story boy and it seems to me
You'd be better off if you'll set her free.
But I love her, I love her, down on my knees I cry
And I don't want to lose her, heaven knows I try
To make her happy, but she wants more than me
And I'll take her like she is, before I'll set her free
Judge, I know she loves me in her own kind of way
Even though she hurts me a hundred times a day
You tell me that it's better that I should set her free
But judge what would you do if you were me.
You see I love her, I love her, inspite of all she's done
And I'll keep right on hoping, someday that time will come
When she'll decide that she wants only me
And I'll take her like she is before I'll set her free...
And much to my dismay these words I've heard him say
I've listened to your story boy and it seems to me
You'd be better off if you'll set her free.
But I love her, I love her, down on my knees I cry
And I don't want to lose her, heaven knows I try
To make her happy, but she wants more than me
And I'll take her like she is, before I'll set her free
Judge, I know she loves me in her own kind of way
Even though she hurts me a hundred times a day
You tell me that it's better that I should set her free
But judge what would you do if you were me.
You see I love her, I love her, inspite of all she's done
And I'll keep right on hoping, someday that time will come
When she'll decide that she wants only me
And I'll take her like she is before I'll set her free...
Ribbon Of Darkness lyrics - Conway Twitty
Ribbon of darkness over me
Since my true love walked out the door
Tears I never cried before
Ribbon of darkness over me.
Clouds're gathering o'er my head
It chills the day and hides the sun
And shrouds the night when day is done
Ribbon of darkness over me.
Rain is fallin' on the meadow
Where once my love and I did lie
Now she's gone from the meadow
My love goodbye.
Ribbon of darkness over me
Where once the world was young as spring
Where clouds're bloomin' birds did sing
Ribbon of darkness over me.
In this cold room lying
Don't want to see no one but you
Lord I wish I could be dying
To forget you.
How I wish your heart could see
My mind just takes the breaks of day
Come on back and take away
Ribbon of darkness over me.
Come on back and take away
Ribbon of darkness over me...
Since my true love walked out the door
Tears I never cried before
Ribbon of darkness over me.
Clouds're gathering o'er my head
It chills the day and hides the sun
And shrouds the night when day is done
Ribbon of darkness over me.
Rain is fallin' on the meadow
Where once my love and I did lie
Now she's gone from the meadow
My love goodbye.
Ribbon of darkness over me
Where once the world was young as spring
Where clouds're bloomin' birds did sing
Ribbon of darkness over me.
In this cold room lying
Don't want to see no one but you
Lord I wish I could be dying
To forget you.
How I wish your heart could see
My mind just takes the breaks of day
Come on back and take away
Ribbon of darkness over me.
Come on back and take away
Ribbon of darkness over me...
Green, Green Grass Of Home lyrics - Conway Twitty
The old hometown
Looks the same
As I step down from the train
And there to meet me
Was my mama and my papa.
And down the road
I look and there runs Mary
Hair of gold and lips, like cherry
It's good to touch the
Green, green grass of home.
Yes, they'll all come to meet me
Arms areached and smiling sweetly
It's so good to touch the
Green, green grass of home.
The old house is still standing
Though the paint is cracked and dry
And there's that old oak tree
That I used to play on.
Down the lane I walk
With my sweet Mary
Hair of gold and lips, like cherry
It's good to touch the
Green, green grass of home.
Then I awoke
And look around me
To the four grey walls that surround me
And I realize that I was only dreaming
For there's a guard
And there's a sad old padre, arm in arm
We'll walk at daybreak
Then again I'll touch the
Green, green grass of home.
They'll all come to see me
in the shade of that old oak tree
As they lay me neath the
Green, green grass of home...
Other Woman In My Life lyrics - Conway Twitty
Don't accuse me of being without feelings
If you do you know that you're wrong
For it was you who was careless
and you drove me into another's arms.
The other woman isn't prettier than you
But the other woman soothes my wounded pride
And more important I feel wanted again
I can't give up the other woman in my life.
I'm afloat in the middle of a river
and I can't climb out on either side
If I go over the deep end
it's because, sweetheart, you haven't tried.
The other woman isn't prettier than you
But the other woman soothes my wounded pride
And more important I feel wanted again
I can't give up the other woman in my life...
If you do you know that you're wrong
For it was you who was careless
and you drove me into another's arms.
The other woman isn't prettier than you
But the other woman soothes my wounded pride
And more important I feel wanted again
I can't give up the other woman in my life.
I'm afloat in the middle of a river
and I can't climb out on either side
If I go over the deep end
it's because, sweetheart, you haven't tried.
The other woman isn't prettier than you
But the other woman soothes my wounded pride
And more important I feel wanted again
I can't give up the other woman in my life...
Truck Drivin' Man lyrics - Conway Twitty
Well, I stopped at a roadhouse in Texas
'Twas a little place called Hamburger Dan's
And I heard that jukebox a playin'
A song about a truck drivin' man.
Pour me another cup of coffee
For it is the best in the land
I'll put a nickel in the jukebox
And play the "Truck Drivin' Man".
The waitress just poured me some coffee
I thanked her and called her again
I said that old song sure does fit me
'Cause I'm a truck drivin' man.
Pour me another cup of coffee
For it is the best in the land
I'll put a nickel in the jukebox
And play the "Truck Drivin' Man".
I climbed back aboard my old semi
And then like a flash I was gone
I got them old truck wheels a rolling
Yeah, I'm on my way to San Antone.
Pour me another cup of coffee
For it is the best in the land
I'll put a nickel in the jukebox
And play the "Truck Drivin' Man".
And play the "Truck Drivin' Man".
And play the "Truck Drivin' Man"...
'Twas a little place called Hamburger Dan's
And I heard that jukebox a playin'
A song about a truck drivin' man.
Pour me another cup of coffee
For it is the best in the land
I'll put a nickel in the jukebox
And play the "Truck Drivin' Man".
The waitress just poured me some coffee
I thanked her and called her again
I said that old song sure does fit me
'Cause I'm a truck drivin' man.
Pour me another cup of coffee
For it is the best in the land
I'll put a nickel in the jukebox
And play the "Truck Drivin' Man".
I climbed back aboard my old semi
And then like a flash I was gone
I got them old truck wheels a rolling
Yeah, I'm on my way to San Antone.
Pour me another cup of coffee
For it is the best in the land
I'll put a nickel in the jukebox
And play the "Truck Drivin' Man".
And play the "Truck Drivin' Man".
And play the "Truck Drivin' Man"...
That Kind Of Girl lyrics - Conway Twitty
You're just a kind of girl everybody wants to meet
You've got a way about you when you walk down the street
That makes me wonder if I'm gonna lose your love someday
And I'm the kinda guy that don't stand in your way.
All my life I've been afraid of losing you
Although you never really done me wrong
But there's always the chance you might find someone new
And break the heart that loves you for so long.
You're just a kind of girl everybody wants to meet
You've got a way about you when you walk down the street
That makes me wonder if I'm gonna lose your love someday
And I'm the kinda guy that don't stand in your way.
You're just the kind of girl that likes to have some fun
And though I'm jealous of you it's alright
Just as long as I am still the only one you turn to
When it's time to say goodnight.
You're just a kind of girl everybody wants to meet
You've got a way about you when you walk down the street
That makes me wonder if I'm gonna lose your love someday
And I'm the kinda guy that don't stand in your way...
You've got a way about you when you walk down the street
That makes me wonder if I'm gonna lose your love someday
And I'm the kinda guy that don't stand in your way.
All my life I've been afraid of losing you
Although you never really done me wrong
But there's always the chance you might find someone new
And break the heart that loves you for so long.
You're just a kind of girl everybody wants to meet
You've got a way about you when you walk down the street
That makes me wonder if I'm gonna lose your love someday
And I'm the kinda guy that don't stand in your way.
You're just the kind of girl that likes to have some fun
And though I'm jealous of you it's alright
Just as long as I am still the only one you turn to
When it's time to say goodnight.
You're just a kind of girl everybody wants to meet
You've got a way about you when you walk down the street
That makes me wonder if I'm gonna lose your love someday
And I'm the kinda guy that don't stand in your way...
I'll Have Another Cup Of Coffee (Then I'll Go) lyrics - Conway Twitty
I'll have another cup of coffee then I'll go
I just thought I'd drop by and let you know
That I'm leavin' town tomorrow
I'll cause you no more sorrow.
I'll have another cup of coffee then I'll go
I brought the money like the lawyer said to do
It won't replace all the heartache I've caused you
It won't take a place of lovin' you, I know
I'll have another cup of coffee then I'll go.
Tell the kids I came by awhile last night
And I kissed them while they slept so tight
Make my cup of coffee sweet and make it warm
Just the way you used to be inside my heart
I'll have another half of cup then I'll go...
I just thought I'd drop by and let you know
That I'm leavin' town tomorrow
I'll cause you no more sorrow.
I'll have another cup of coffee then I'll go
I brought the money like the lawyer said to do
It won't replace all the heartache I've caused you
It won't take a place of lovin' you, I know
I'll have another cup of coffee then I'll go.
Tell the kids I came by awhile last night
And I kissed them while they slept so tight
Make my cup of coffee sweet and make it warm
Just the way you used to be inside my heart
I'll have another half of cup then I'll go...
Tip Of My Fingers lyrics - Conway Twitty
I reached out my arms and I touched you
With soft words I whispered your name
I held you right on the tips of my fingers
But that was as close as I came.
My eyes had a vision of sweet lips
Yeilding beneath my command
I held you right on the tips of my fingers
But I let it slip right through my hands.
But I let it slip right through my hands.
Somebody took you when I wasn't looking
I should have known from the start
That it's a long long way from the tips of my fingers
To the love hidden deep in your heart.
To the love hidden deep in your heart.
I held you right on the tips of my fingers
But I let it slip right through my hands.
Yes, I let it slip right through my hands...
With soft words I whispered your name
I held you right on the tips of my fingers
But that was as close as I came.
My eyes had a vision of sweet lips
Yeilding beneath my command
I held you right on the tips of my fingers
But I let it slip right through my hands.
But I let it slip right through my hands.
Somebody took you when I wasn't looking
I should have known from the start
That it's a long long way from the tips of my fingers
To the love hidden deep in your heart.
To the love hidden deep in your heart.
I held you right on the tips of my fingers
But I let it slip right through my hands.
Yes, I let it slip right through my hands...
Guess My Eyes Were Bigger Than My Heart lyrics - Conway Twitty
I saw her and told myself she was my dream come true
Let my eyes decieve me from the start
They told me I wanted her more than I wanted you
Guess my eyes were bigger than my heart.
Wasn't I the foolish one, Lord above, what have I done
For her love I tore our world apart
Now she's here but it's no good, I don't care the way I should
Guess my eyes were bigger than my heart.
I allowed these eyes of mine to lead me into sin
Made me think that I could love her true
Now she stands out in the cold my heart won't let her in
There was only room enough for you.
Wasn't I the foolish one, Lord above, what have I done
For her love I tore our world apart
Now she's here but it's no good, I don't care the way I should
Guess my eyes were bigger than my heart...
Let my eyes decieve me from the start
They told me I wanted her more than I wanted you
Guess my eyes were bigger than my heart.
Wasn't I the foolish one, Lord above, what have I done
For her love I tore our world apart
Now she's here but it's no good, I don't care the way I should
Guess my eyes were bigger than my heart.
I allowed these eyes of mine to lead me into sin
Made me think that I could love her true
Now she stands out in the cold my heart won't let her in
There was only room enough for you.
Wasn't I the foolish one, Lord above, what have I done
For her love I tore our world apart
Now she's here but it's no good, I don't care the way I should
Guess my eyes were bigger than my heart...
That's What It's Like To Be Lonesome lyrics - Conway Twitty
That's what it's like to be lonesome
I know 'cause I'm a mighty lonesome guy
The streets are dark and empty and you walk them all alone
You think about your love affair and wonder what went wrong.
You go to bed each night and pray
You'll never see the dawn
Afraid of each tomorrow with its heartless cold unknown
And that's what it's like to be lonesome
A heart a broken love has taught to cry
And that's what it's like to be lonesome
I know cause I'm a mighty lonesome guy.
You search to find a tavern where the music's playing loud
You try to lose your heartache in the laughter of the crowd
But the happy couples make you think
Of things that might have been
And you have to fight the teardrops
Till you're by yourself again
And that's what it's like to be lonesome...
Honky Tonk Man lyrics - Conway Twitty
Well, I'm a honky tonk man
And I can't seem to stop
Yeah, I love to give the girls a whirl
To the music of an old jukebox.
But when my moneys all gone
I'm on the telephone
A hollerin' hey hey mama
Can your daddy come home?
It takes a purty little gal and a jug of wine
That's what it takes to make a honky tonk mind
With the jukebox a moanin' honky tonk sound
That's when I want to lay my money down
'Cause I'm a honky tonk man.
Well, I'm living fast and dangerously
But I've got plenty of company
When the moon comes up and the sun goes down
That's when I want to see the lights of town
'Cause I'm a honky tonk man...
And I can't seem to stop
Yeah, I love to give the girls a whirl
To the music of an old jukebox.
But when my moneys all gone
I'm on the telephone
A hollerin' hey hey mama
Can your daddy come home?
It takes a purty little gal and a jug of wine
That's what it takes to make a honky tonk mind
With the jukebox a moanin' honky tonk sound
That's when I want to lay my money down
'Cause I'm a honky tonk man.
Well, I'm living fast and dangerously
But I've got plenty of company
When the moon comes up and the sun goes down
That's when I want to see the lights of town
'Cause I'm a honky tonk man...

There Is Something On Your Mind lyrics - Conway Twitty
There is something on your mind
By the way you look at me
There is something on your mind, pretty baby
By the way you look at me.
What you're thinking, bring me happiness or,
Or will it bring me misery?
No, no please don't try to tell me
No, I think I understand
No, pretty please, don't try to tell me, please pretty baby
Yes, I think I understand.
You want me to try, to try, to try to forget you
Oh, I think I'm doin', I think I'm doin' the best I can.
Do you ever think about me?
Yeah, do I ever, ever cross your mind
Well baby, Do you ever think about me
Tell me baby do I ever, ever, ever cross your mind?
Ohh, I know, yes, yes I know,

Mr. Jones lyrics - Conway Twitty
Mr. Jones I'd like to speak to you
For a moment if you don't mind
I love your daughter
And your daughter she wanna be mine.
Yeah, Mr. Jones please be seated
I know what's running through your mind
I love your daughter
And your daughter she wanna be mine.
Yeah, I work in a shoe store on main street
Make about fifty dollars every week
But I'll work hard and get a raise
If you'll just let me have her for always.
Mr. Jones don't get excited
'Cause we've already made up our minds
I love your daughter
And your daughter she wanna be mine.
Well, I'll treat her good and buy her things
Like a lots of furs and diamond rings
I'll buy her a cottage a car and a boat
If you'll be kind enough to go on our note.
Mr. Jones, don't get mad
We'll get along, won't we dad
'Cause I love your daughter
And your daughter she wanna be mine.
Yeah, Mr. Jones, don't get mad
We'll get along, won't we dad

For a moment if you don't mind

And your daughter she wanna be mine.
Yeah, Mr. Jones please be seated
I know what's running through your mind
I love your daughter
And your daughter she wanna be mine.
Yeah, I work in a shoe store on main street
Make about fifty dollars every week
But I'll work hard and get a raise
If you'll just let me have her for always.
Mr. Jones don't get excited
'Cause we've already made up our minds
I love your daughter
And your daughter she wanna be mine.
Well, I'll treat her good and buy her things
Like a lots of furs and diamond rings
I'll buy her a cottage a car and a boat
If you'll be kind enough to go on our note.
Mr. Jones, don't get mad
We'll get along, won't we dad
'Cause I love your daughter
And your daughter she wanna be mine.
Yeah, Mr. Jones, don't get mad
We'll get along, won't we dad
'Cause I love your daughter
And your daughter she wanna be mine...
Little Piece Of My Heart lyrics - Conway Twitty
Everytime you make me cry can't you see it in my eye
It tears away a little piece of my heart
Now when everything is gone and you do another wrong
It tears away another piece of my heart.
Tell me darling must we act like children
And play with love like like some old toy
For what he gave us we should feel tenderness toward one another
Happiness understanding love and joy.
Surely there must be a way
And somehow darling somehow we must find that way
For he would never forgive us and we would never be blessed
With such a love again.
All I want from life is you but this way that we go through
You tear away a little piece of my heart...
It tears away a little piece of my heart
Now when everything is gone and you do another wrong
It tears away another piece of my heart.
Tell me darling must we act like children
And play with love like like some old toy
For what he gave us we should feel tenderness toward one another
Happiness understanding love and joy.
Surely there must be a way
And somehow darling somehow we must find that way
For he would never forgive us and we would never be blessed
With such a love again.
All I want from life is you but this way that we go through
You tear away a little piece of my heart...
Comfy 'N Cozy lyrics - Conway Twitty
Here we are in a warm embrace
As cozy as a kitten by a fireplace
The lights are dim with a mellow glow
The musics playin' soft 'n low.
And everything's rosy, oh yea
Comfy 'n cozy, uh huh
Everything's rosy, yea, yea
Comfy 'n cozy, hmm, hmm, hmm
Let's forget the whole world outside
Nothing else matters just you and I
Let's unhook the old telephone
'Cause we just want to be left alone.
With everything's rosy, yea, yea, yea
Comfy 'n cozy, uh huh, huh
Everything's rosy, yea, yea, yea
Comfy 'n cozy, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Wanna put another log on the fireplace
But I can't stand leavin' your embrace, hmm, hmm, hmm hmm
Baby now, everything's rosy, oh yeah
Comfy 'n cozy, uh huh
Everything's rosy, oh yeah
Comfy 'n cozy, uh huh
Everything's rosy, yea, yea
Comfy 'n cozy
As cozy as a kitten by a fireplace
The lights are dim with a mellow glow
The musics playin' soft 'n low.
And everything's rosy, oh yea
Comfy 'n cozy, uh huh
Everything's rosy, yea, yea
Comfy 'n cozy, hmm, hmm, hmm
Let's forget the whole world outside
Nothing else matters just you and I
Let's unhook the old telephone
'Cause we just want to be left alone.
With everything's rosy, yea, yea, yea
Comfy 'n cozy, uh huh, huh
Everything's rosy, yea, yea, yea
Comfy 'n cozy, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Wanna put another log on the fireplace
But I can't stand leavin' your embrace, hmm, hmm, hmm hmm
Baby now, everything's rosy, oh yeah
Comfy 'n cozy, uh huh
Everything's rosy, oh yeah
Comfy 'n cozy, uh huh
Everything's rosy, yea, yea
Comfy 'n cozy
I Hope, I Think, I Wish lyrics - Conway Twitty
The telephone is ringing, I hope it's been ringing all day, I think
It's my darling begging me to let her come home, I wish
Doing fine alone, I hope she can't live without me, I think
She regrets the day she let me lose her, I wish.
Sometimes I think, well, and then again I think sometimes
I no longer understand, guess that's why the sun never shine
I hear someone knocking, I hope I won't answer right away, I think
It's her answer, just wanna stay and love me forever, I wish...
It's my darling begging me to let her come home, I wish
Doing fine alone, I hope she can't live without me, I think
She regrets the day she let me lose her, I wish.
Sometimes I think, well, and then again I think sometimes
I no longer understand, guess that's why the sun never shine
I hear someone knocking, I hope I won't answer right away, I think
It's her answer, just wanna stay and love me forever, I wish...
Pick-Up lyrics -
I saw her walkin' down the street
I tell you all she sure looked neat
Lovely eyes and long black hair
She looked so nervous standing there
Man's she's great
Think I'll ask her for a date
I guess I look just like a clown
Getting up and fallin' down
Hangin' on a parkin' meter
Burnin' like a red hot meter
What a walk
C'mon mouth and talk that talk
You know I couldn't make a sound
My head was goin' round
I was speechless, yeah
My mind was in a whirl
'Cause talkin' to a girl
Is my weakness
I guess I look just like a clown
Getting up and fallin' down
Hangin' on a parkin' meter
Burnin' like a red hot meter
What a walk
C'mon mouth and talk that talk
You know I couldn't make a sound
My head was goin' round
I was speechless, yeah
My mind was in a whirl
'Cause talkin' to a girl
Is my weakness
I guess I musta caught her eye
'Cause instead of walkin' by
She walked right up and with a smile
Said c'mon boy I like your style
Will I date her
So long boy's I'll see you later
I tell you all she sure looked neat
Lovely eyes and long black hair
She looked so nervous standing there
Man's she's great
Think I'll ask her for a date
I guess I look just like a clown
Getting up and fallin' down
Hangin' on a parkin' meter
Burnin' like a red hot meter
What a walk
C'mon mouth and talk that talk
You know I couldn't make a sound
My head was goin' round
I was speechless, yeah
My mind was in a whirl
'Cause talkin' to a girl
Is my weakness
I guess I look just like a clown
Getting up and fallin' down
Hangin' on a parkin' meter
Burnin' like a red hot meter
What a walk
C'mon mouth and talk that talk
You know I couldn't make a sound
My head was goin' round
I was speechless, yeah
My mind was in a whirl
'Cause talkin' to a girl
Is my weakness
I guess I musta caught her eye
'Cause instead of walkin' by
She walked right up and with a smile
Said c'mon boy I like your style
Will I date her
So long boy's I'll see you later
Got My Mojo Working lyrics - Conway Twitty

What A Dream lyrics - Conway Twitty
(Dream, dream, dream, dream, dream)
Woke up this morning and I looked around
So disappointed, I laid back down
Oh, what a dream, Oh, what a dream I had last night.
Dreamed that I held you in my arms
But I'm still waitin' for that day to come
Oh, what a dream, Oh what a dream I had last night.
Dreamed we were walkin' down the aisle
The organ was playing "Here Comes the Bride"
You looked up at me, you began to smile
When I looked around everybody began to cry.
I opened my eyes, and you weren't there
All of my happiness just disappeared
Oh, what a dream, Oh, what a dream I had last night.
Oh, what a dream, Oh, what a dream I had last night.
Oh, what a dream, Oh, what a dream...
Woke up this morning and I looked around
So disappointed, I laid back down
Oh, what a dream, Oh, what a dream I had last night.
Dreamed that I held you in my arms
But I'm still waitin' for that day to come
Oh, what a dream, Oh what a dream I had last night.
Dreamed we were walkin' down the aisle
The organ was playing "Here Comes the Bride"
You looked up at me, you began to smile
When I looked around everybody began to cry.
I opened my eyes, and you weren't there
All of my happiness just disappeared
Oh, what a dream, Oh, what a dream I had last night.
Oh, what a dream, Oh, what a dream I had last night.
Oh, what a dream, Oh, what a dream...
Don't You Dare Let Me Down lyrics -

Million Teardrops lyrics - Conway Twitty
Well I picked up my baby at the usual time last night
It was one of those nights when nothing seemed to turn out right
Guess I did something wrong she made me take her home
She gave me back my ring and then she said goodbye
Now there are millions of teardrops grop drip droppin' from my eyes
I know I shouldn't worry she's done the same thing before
But every time she leaves me it hurts me more and more
I thought that I was tough and all that stuff
I even said that no one could ever make me cry
Now there are millions of teardrops grop drip droppin' from my eyes
I couldn't keep the tears from flowing
I couldn't keep the pain from showing
Nothing I did seem to help at all the tears fell like a waterfall
All day long I try to get her out of my mind
But nothing seems to help because I think about her all of the time
This heartbreak is something I can't take
I gotta find that girl and make her realize
And stop these millions of teardrops grop drip droppin' from my eyes
And stop these millions of teardrops grop drip droppin' from my eyes
And stop these millions of teardrops grop drip droppin' from my eyes
It was one of those nights when nothing seemed to turn out right
Guess I did something wrong she made me take her home
She gave me back my ring and then she said goodbye
Now there are millions of teardrops grop drip droppin' from my eyes
I know I shouldn't worry she's done the same thing before
But every time she leaves me it hurts me more and more
I thought that I was tough and all that stuff
I even said that no one could ever make me cry
Now there are millions of teardrops grop drip droppin' from my eyes
I couldn't keep the tears from flowing
I couldn't keep the pain from showing
Nothing I did seem to help at all the tears fell like a waterfall
All day long I try to get her out of my mind
But nothing seems to help because I think about her all of the time
This heartbreak is something I can't take
I gotta find that girl and make her realize
And stop these millions of teardrops grop drip droppin' from my eyes
And stop these millions of teardrops grop drip droppin' from my eyes
And stop these millions of teardrops grop drip droppin' from my eyes
The Next Kiss (Is The Last Goodbye) lyrics - Conway Twitty
Time to say goodbye I know I've said it before
Though I hate to go I can't be hurt anymore
You've never seen me with a tear in my eye
The next kiss is the last goodbye
When I'm not around there's someone else you can call
Half a love is worse than havin' nothin' at all
I needed your love and darlin' that's why
The next kiss is the last goodbye
No more holding hands no more whispering words tenderly
Know it breaks my heart there's no way for me
Time to say goodbye is nothing else that I can do
Wish you all the luck with your somebody knew
If I said I'd forget I'd be telling a lie
The next kiss is the last goodbye
Just one more kiss and then baby goodbye
Though I hate to go I can't be hurt anymore
You've never seen me with a tear in my eye
The next kiss is the last goodbye
When I'm not around there's someone else you can call
Half a love is worse than havin' nothin' at all
I needed your love and darlin' that's why
The next kiss is the last goodbye
No more holding hands no more whispering words tenderly
Know it breaks my heart there's no way for me
Time to say goodbye is nothing else that I can do
Wish you all the luck with your somebody knew
If I said I'd forget I'd be telling a lie
The next kiss is the last goodbye
Just one more kiss and then baby goodbye
I'm In A Blue, Blue Mood lyrics - Conway Twitty
I'm in the blue blue mood now that you're gone oh wee
I'm in the blue blue mood it's been a lonesome day
I'm in the blue blue mood I see you everywhere
I reach out to hold you but you're not there
It's just my blue blue mood
Maybe someday love will come and stay
And things will turn out right oh oh oh but for tonight
I'm in the blue blue mood
I'm in the blue blue mood I feel you everywhere
I turn around to talk to you but you're not there
It's just my blue blue mood
I'm in the blue blue mood I'm in the blue blue mood
I'm in the blue blue mood
I'm in the blue blue mood it's been a lonesome day
I'm in the blue blue mood I see you everywhere
I reach out to hold you but you're not there
It's just my blue blue mood
Maybe someday love will come and stay
And things will turn out right oh oh oh but for tonight
I'm in the blue blue mood
I'm in the blue blue mood I feel you everywhere
I turn around to talk to you but you're not there
It's just my blue blue mood
I'm in the blue blue mood I'm in the blue blue mood
I'm in the blue blue mood
Tower Of Tears lyrics - Conway Twitty
As I turn back the pages of time
And once more you're in my heart and on my mind
They're unchanged by the passing of years
All alone stands the tower of tears
Just a wooden frame and one old rusty bell
With a million sad stories to tell
Hidden there neath the rock and the rill
We pledges our love neath the tower of tears
But as time passed on I started losing you
And now you are gone what am I gonna do
Now the tower bell refuses to chime
Cause somehow it knows that you're no longer mine
It shared our secrets down through the years
Now I'm alone neath the tower of tears
Turn Around lyrics - Conway Twitty
Turn your pretty face to mine
Lift your pretty eyes from the ground
I forgive you every way
Oh, turn around, turn around.
Though you left me for a new love
And your new love turn you down
I forgive you every way
Oh, turn around, turn around.
Though I've been hurt
Yes, and I've been blue
But I've never turned
My back on you.
Turn your pretty face to mine
Lift your pretty eyes from the ground
I forgive you every way
Oh, turn around, turn around
Lift your pretty eyes from the ground
I forgive you every way
Oh, turn around, turn around.
Though you left me for a new love
And your new love turn you down
I forgive you every way
Oh, turn around, turn around.
Though I've been hurt
Yes, and I've been blue
But I've never turned
My back on you.
Turn your pretty face to mine
Lift your pretty eyes from the ground
I forgive you every way
Oh, turn around, turn around
Walk On By lyrics - Conway Twitty
If I see you tomorrow on some street in town
Pardon me if I don't say "Hello"
I belong to another, and it doesn't look so good
To know someone I'm not supposed to know.
Just walk on by, wait on the corner
I love you but we're strangers when we meet
Just walk on by, wait on the corner
I love you but we're strangers when we meet.
In a dimly lit corner at a place outside of town
Tonight we'll try to say "Goodbye" again
But I know it's not over, I'll call tomorrow night
I can't let you go so why pretend?
Just walk on by, wait on the corner
I love you but we're strangers when we meet
Just walk on by, wait on the corner
I love you but we're strangers when we meet...
Pardon me if I don't say "Hello"
I belong to another, and it doesn't look so good
To know someone I'm not supposed to know.
Just walk on by, wait on the corner
I love you but we're strangers when we meet
Just walk on by, wait on the corner
I love you but we're strangers when we meet.
In a dimly lit corner at a place outside of town
Tonight we'll try to say "Goodbye" again
But I know it's not over, I'll call tomorrow night
I can't let you go so why pretend?
Just walk on by, wait on the corner
I love you but we're strangers when we meet
Just walk on by, wait on the corner
I love you but we're strangers when we meet...
Portrait Of A Fool lyrics - Conway Twitty
Paint two eyes,
Make them cry
Paint two lips,
Make them lies.
And you're painting
The portrait of a fool.
Paint one heart
That's been untrue
Paint one soul
Make it blue.
And your paintin'
The portrait of a fool.
There are somethings that look so familiar
Strange what this resemblance can be
And now as I look in the mirror
I know, I know the fool you are painting is me.
Paint one fool
Let it talk
Paint two hand
That once held it all.
And you've painted
A portrait of a fool...
Make them cry
Paint two lips,
Make them lies.
And you're painting
The portrait of a fool.
Paint one heart
That's been untrue
Paint one soul
Make it blue.
And your paintin'
The portrait of a fool.
There are somethings that look so familiar
Strange what this resemblance can be
And now as I look in the mirror
I know, I know the fool you are painting is me.
Paint one fool
Let it talk
Paint two hand
That once held it all.
And you've painted
A portrait of a fool...
Foggy River lyrics - Conway Twitty
Your love is colder than a foggy river
Rollin on a heart of stone
You left me stranded on this foggy river
Cold and helpless and alone.
I knew someday that you would turn me down
I got worries on my mind
Yes, I'm doomed to sail this foggy river
Till I leave my love behind.
There's no tomorrow on this foggy river
Only memories linger on
A mist of sorrows fills this foggy river
Everything I had is gone.
I can't escape this broken heart of mine
I've no freedom anymore
Heaven help me on this foggy river
Till I reach that distant shore...
Rollin on a heart of stone
You left me stranded on this foggy river
Cold and helpless and alone.
I knew someday that you would turn me down
I got worries on my mind
Yes, I'm doomed to sail this foggy river
Till I leave my love behind.
There's no tomorrow on this foggy river
Only memories linger on
A mist of sorrows fills this foggy river
Everything I had is gone.
I can't escape this broken heart of mine
I've no freedom anymore
Heaven help me on this foggy river
Till I reach that distant shore...
Platinum High School lyrics - Conway Twitty
There's an island out in the sea
Just a waitin' for the guys like me
Oh on this island is a crazy school
And there's where I learned the golden rule.
Twenty-one fellas and one little girl
She looks like just an angel with a platinum curle
Ooh, wee oh, me, oh my
I guess that's why they called her platinum high.
I saw her walkin' just a platinum high
Nearly lost my mind when she walked by
Oh I never met a gal looked like this before
That's why I found myself a knockin' on her door.
I said what you're doin' home on a night like this
Come on my pretty baby give your daddy a kiss
Ooh, wee oh, me, oh my
Kiss my baby on a platinum high.
Asked my cutie if she'd like to go
To the house at party or a movie show
She said big daddy I don't care what we'd do
It doesn't matter just as long as I'm with you.
I stepped into her room and I closed the door
Sat on a TV set and I turned the lights down low
Ooh, wee oh, me, oh my
Just me and my baby on a platinum high.
A Fallen Star lyrics - Conway Twitty
A star fell from Heaven
Right into my arms
The brightest star I know I've never seen
Then I found out that it was
Only you and all your charms
You came into my life to fill a dream.
A fallen star, that's what you are
The twinkle in your eye came from the sky
You must have sailed from the Milky Way
A fallen star, that's what you are.
The heavens must be lonely now that you are mine,
I'm sure they'll miss a star as bright as you.
But the stars will send their blessings and brighter they will shine,
For when they see the dream that's coming true.
A fallen star, that's what you are
That twinkle thats in your eye came from the sky
You must have sailed from the Milky Way
A fallen star, that's what you are...
(A fallen star)...
Right into my arms
The brightest star I know I've never seen
Then I found out that it was
Only you and all your charms
You came into my life to fill a dream.
A fallen star, that's what you are
The twinkle in your eye came from the sky
You must have sailed from the Milky Way
A fallen star, that's what you are.
The heavens must be lonely now that you are mine,
I'm sure they'll miss a star as bright as you.
But the stars will send their blessings and brighter they will shine,
For when they see the dream that's coming true.
A fallen star, that's what you are
That twinkle thats in your eye came from the sky
You must have sailed from the Milky Way
A fallen star, that's what you are...
(A fallen star)...
I'd Still Play The Fool lyrics - Conway Twitty
Though you told me lies and left when I cried
Took my trusting heart and tore it apart
I'd run back to you if you'd just say when
If I had it to do all over again
Though you gave your charms to so many arms
Loved me for a day then threw me away
I'd still play the fool to the winter end
If I had it to do all over again
It's the old old story of the moth and a flame
Though you've burned me darling I want you just the same
I'd still play the fool to the winter end
If I had it to do all over again
I'd still play the fool to the winter end
If I had it to do all over again
I'd still play the fool I'd still play the fool
Took my trusting heart and tore it apart
I'd run back to you if you'd just say when
If I had it to do all over again
Though you gave your charms to so many arms
Loved me for a day then threw me away
I'd still play the fool to the winter end
If I had it to do all over again
It's the old old story of the moth and a flame
Though you've burned me darling I want you just the same
I'd still play the fool to the winter end
If I had it to do all over again
I'd still play the fool to the winter end
If I had it to do all over again
I'd still play the fool I'd still play the fool
My Heart Cries lyrics - Conway Twitty
Well my heart cries cries for you baby
It just cries and cries and I don't mean maybe
Well my heart sinks whenever you're near
But it just dies when you're not here
You'll never know know know know know how my heart cries
Ah you seem to think that it's so funny
But I'm not laughin' not one bit honey
I must have cried a million times
I just can't get you off of my mind
You'll never know know know know know how my heart cries
A long long time we've been together
We thought that it would last forever
But something then went wrong
Because you left me all alone
You'll never know know know know know how my heart cries
Ah my heart cries it just cries and cries
Cries for you baby you'll never know
You'll never know know know
You'll never know you'll never know you'll never know
Ah my heart cries it just cries and cries
Cries for you baby you'll never know
It just cries and cries and I don't mean maybe
Well my heart sinks whenever you're near
But it just dies when you're not here
You'll never know know know know know how my heart cries
Ah you seem to think that it's so funny
But I'm not laughin' not one bit honey
I must have cried a million times
I just can't get you off of my mind
You'll never know know know know know how my heart cries
A long long time we've been together
We thought that it would last forever
But something then went wrong
Because you left me all alone
You'll never know know know know know how my heart cries
Ah my heart cries it just cries and cries
Cries for you baby you'll never know
You'll never know know know
You'll never know you'll never know you'll never know
Ah my heart cries it just cries and cries
Cries for you baby you'll never know
Long Black Train lyrics - Conway Twitty
Look a-yonder coming, coming down that railroad track.
I said, Look a-yonder coming
Coming down that long railroad track
Well, it's that long black train
Gonna bring my baby back.
Well, she loved me in the winter
Lord, I almost froze to death
She didn't even warm me
She's a fact of frozen lips.
My baby hit the road a-running
Looking for that long black train
(That long black train)
Lord, and I began to wonder
Will I see that girl again
(If I see my girl again).
Well, I don't know why she left me
But I do know that she's gone
But look a-yonder coming Lord
My baby's coming home.
I said, now look a-yonder coming
Coming down that long railroad track
(That long railroad track)
Well, it's that long black train
Gonna bring my baby back
(Gonna bring my baby back).
Well, ain't asking her no questions
'Cause I don't care where she's been
And when I get that woman back
She'll never leave again.
I said, now look a-yonder coming
Coming down that long railroad track
(That long railroad track)
Well, it's that long black train
Gonna bring my baby back
(Gonna bring my baby back).
Well, I can see her black smoke rollin'
I can hear her whistle whine
She's just around the curve
She's moving fast that line on down.
I said, now look a-yonder coming
Coming down that long railroad track
(That long railroad track)
Yes, it's that long black train
Gonna bring my baby back
(Gonna bring my baby back)
(Gonna bring my baby back)
(That long black train, Lord)
(That long black train, Lord)
(That long black train, Lord)
(That long black train, Lord)...
I said, Look a-yonder coming
Coming down that long railroad track
Well, it's that long black train
Gonna bring my baby back.
Well, she loved me in the winter
Lord, I almost froze to death
She didn't even warm me
She's a fact of frozen lips.
My baby hit the road a-running
Looking for that long black train
(That long black train)
Lord, and I began to wonder
Will I see that girl again
(If I see my girl again).
Well, I don't know why she left me
But I do know that she's gone
But look a-yonder coming Lord
My baby's coming home.
I said, now look a-yonder coming
Coming down that long railroad track
(That long railroad track)
Well, it's that long black train
Gonna bring my baby back
(Gonna bring my baby back).
Well, ain't asking her no questions
'Cause I don't care where she's been
And when I get that woman back
She'll never leave again.
I said, now look a-yonder coming
Coming down that long railroad track
(That long railroad track)
Well, it's that long black train
Gonna bring my baby back
(Gonna bring my baby back).
Well, I can see her black smoke rollin'
I can hear her whistle whine
She's just around the curve
She's moving fast that line on down.
I said, now look a-yonder coming
Coming down that long railroad track
(That long railroad track)
Yes, it's that long black train
Gonna bring my baby back
(Gonna bring my baby back)
(Gonna bring my baby back)
(That long black train, Lord)
(That long black train, Lord)
(That long black train, Lord)
(That long black train, Lord)...
Tree In The Meadow lyrics - Conway Twitty
In the country lies a meadow
In the meadow stands a tree
'Neath tree flows a river
But my fondest memory
Is the tree in the meadow
With a stream drifting by
And carved upon that tree
I see "I'll love you 'til I die."
I will always remember
The love in your eyes
The day you carved upon that tree
"I'll love you 'til I die."
And farther on down lovers' lane
A silhouette I see,
I Know You're kissing someone else
I wish that it were me.
By the tree in the meadow
My thoughts always lie
And wherever you go, you'll always know
I'll love you 'til I die...
In the meadow stands a tree
'Neath tree flows a river
But my fondest memory
Is the tree in the meadow
With a stream drifting by
And carved upon that tree
I see "I'll love you 'til I die."
I will always remember
The love in your eyes
The day you carved upon that tree
"I'll love you 'til I die."
And farther on down lovers' lane
A silhouette I see,
I Know You're kissing someone else
I wish that it were me.
By the tree in the meadow
My thoughts always lie
And wherever you go, you'll always know
I'll love you 'til I die...
Above And Beyond (The Call Of Love) lyrics - Conway Twitty
I'll give you love that's above and beyond the call of love
And I'll never ever make you cry
I'll give you love that's above and beyond the call of love
And love is something that money can't buy.
Well, a poor boy's chances for a pretty girl's glances
Are sometimes very few
Ain't got no money if you'll be my honey
Here's what I'll offer you.
I'll give you love that's above and beyond the call of love
And I'll never ever make you cry
I'll give you love that's above and beyond the call of love
And love is something that money can't buy.
Oh, we met by chance and I knew at a glance
That I'd found my destiny
I'd still carry you off and marry you if
You would agree.
To givin' me love that's above and beyond the call of love
And I'll never ever make you cry
I'll give you love that's above and beyond the call of love
And love is something that money can't buy...
And I'll never ever make you cry
I'll give you love that's above and beyond the call of love
And love is something that money can't buy.
Well, a poor boy's chances for a pretty girl's glances
Are sometimes very few
Ain't got no money if you'll be my honey
Here's what I'll offer you.
I'll give you love that's above and beyond the call of love
And I'll never ever make you cry
I'll give you love that's above and beyond the call of love
And love is something that money can't buy.
Oh, we met by chance and I knew at a glance
That I'd found my destiny
I'd still carry you off and marry you if
You would agree.
To givin' me love that's above and beyond the call of love
And I'll never ever make you cry
I'll give you love that's above and beyond the call of love
And love is something that money can't buy...
Live Fast, Love Hard, Die Young lyrics - Conway Twitty
I wanna live fast love hard die young and leave a beautiful memory
I wanna live fast love hard die young and leave a beautiful memory
Don't want slow walkin' or sad singin' let 'em have a jubilee
I wanna leave a lot of happy women a thinking pretty thoughts of me
I wanna live fast love hard die young and leave a beautiful memory
I got a hot-rod car and a brand new suit and I really do get around
I got a little black book and the gals look cute
And I know the name of every spot in town
I wanna find 'em fool 'em leave 'em and let 'em do the same to me
I wanna live fast love hard die young and leave a beautiful memory
I wanna live fast love hard die young and leave a beautiful memory
Well I'm a wampus cat let me grab my hat and baby come along with me
We're gonna do some fancy stepping we're really goin' on a spree
I wanna live fast love hard die young and leave a beautiful memory
Now you may not approve of the things I do but it really don't bother me
But don't ever think you can tie me down I'm gonna stay footloose and fancy free
So jump back make tracks move out and let them pretty gals at me
I wanna live fast love hard die young and leave a beautiful memory
Baby I'm gonna give you one more chance
I wanna live fast love hard die young and leave a beautiful memory
Don't want slow walkin' or sad singin' let 'em have a jubilee
I wanna leave a lot of happy women a thinking pretty thoughts of me
I wanna live fast love hard die young and leave a beautiful memory
I got a hot-rod car and a brand new suit and I really do get around
I got a little black book and the gals look cute
And I know the name of every spot in town
I wanna find 'em fool 'em leave 'em and let 'em do the same to me

Man Alone lyrics - Conway Twitty
My baby's gone I know not where
This lonliness is hard to bear
These tears I cry are all in vain
I'm never gonna see her face again.
Some other guy had got my gal and gone
I don't know why she dad done me wrong
I only know I can't go on
I've been hangin' around this town too long.
Will I make it alright? Well, I don't know
And nowhere to stay, no place to go
I gotta leave this town far, far behind
I gotta try to ease my troubled mind.
This road I walk is a takin' me away
From all my misery and if I ever,
Ever reach the end
I ain't never gonna walk this road again.
Will I make it alright? Well, I don't know
And nowhere to stay, no place to go
I gotta leave this town far, far behind
I gotta try to ease my troubled mind.
Well, this road I walk is a-takin' me away
From all my misery and if I ever,
Ever reach the end
I aint never gonna walk this road again.
Well, a man alone, unh huh, that's me
Well, a man alone is misery...
This lonliness is hard to bear
These tears I cry are all in vain
I'm never gonna see her face again.
Some other guy had got my gal and gone
I don't know why she dad done me wrong
I only know I can't go on
I've been hangin' around this town too long.
Will I make it alright? Well, I don't know
And nowhere to stay, no place to go
I gotta leave this town far, far behind
I gotta try to ease my troubled mind.
This road I walk is a takin' me away
From all my misery and if I ever,
Ever reach the end
I ain't never gonna walk this road again.
Will I make it alright? Well, I don't know
And nowhere to stay, no place to go
I gotta leave this town far, far behind
I gotta try to ease my troubled mind.
Well, this road I walk is a-takin' me away
From all my misery and if I ever,
Ever reach the end
I aint never gonna walk this road again.
Well, a man alone, unh huh, that's me
Well, a man alone is misery...
I Can Hear My Heart Break lyrics - Conway Twitty
I'm surrounded by silence; tormented by dreams...
Tortured by sweet words that you didn't mean.
It's so still and this... this silence that I can't hardly take,
for I can hear, I can hear my heart break.
Now these arms are mighty lonesome; guess they're missing you,
And I have to admit it... Honey, I miss you too.
I sit here in this silence, half asleep, half awake...
And I can hear, I can hear my heart break.
Empty days without number, lonely nights I can't bear.
That ol' world's gone right on by me. Who's to know? Who's to care?
I keep listenin' for your footsteps, little sounds you used to make,
And I can hear, I can hear my heart break.
My heart break...
Tortured by sweet words that you didn't mean.
It's so still and this... this silence that I can't hardly take,
for I can hear, I can hear my heart break.
Now these arms are mighty lonesome; guess they're missing you,
And I have to admit it... Honey, I miss you too.
I sit here in this silence, half asleep, half awake...
And I can hear, I can hear my heart break.
Empty days without number, lonely nights I can't bear.
That ol' world's gone right on by me. Who's to know? Who's to care?
I keep listenin' for your footsteps, little sounds you used to make,
And I can hear, I can hear my heart break.
My heart break...

Reelin' And A Rockin' lyrics - Conway Twitty
Some-times I will, then again I think I won't.
Some-times I will, then again I think I won't.
Some- times I do, then again I think I don't.
Well, I looked at my watch it was nine twenty one
'twas at a rock 'n' roll dance havin' nothin' but fun.
We were rollin' reelin' and a- rockin'.
We were reelin' and a- rockin' and rollin' till the break of dawn.
Well, I looked at my watch, it was nine thirty-two,
There's nothin' I'd rather do than dance with you.
We were rollin', reelin' and a-rockin'.
Well, I looked at my watch, it was nine forty-three,
And every time I'd spin, she'd spin with me.
We were reelin', reelin' and a-rockin'.
Well, I looked at my watch, it was nine fifty-four,
I said, "Dance ballerina girl, go, go, go!"
We were rollin, reelin' and a-rockin'.
Well, I looked at my watch, it was ten o-five,
Man, I didn't know whether I was dead or alive!
But I was rollin', reelin' and a-rockin'.
Well, I looked at my watch, it was ten twenty-six,
But I'm a keep on dancin' till I got my kicks!
We were reelin', reelin' and a- rockin'.
Well, I looked at my watch, it was ten twenty-eight,
I gotta get my kicks before it gets too late!
We were reelin', reelin' and a- rockin'.
Well, I looked at my watch, it was ten twenty-nine,
I had to hold her hand, she was still holdin' mine!
We were reelin', reelin' and a-rockin'.
Well, I looked at my watch, and to my surprise,
I was dancin' with a woman who was twice my size!
We were reelin', reelin' and a-rockin'.
Well, I looked at my watch, and it was time to go,
The band leader said, "We ain't playin' no mo'!"
We were reelin', reelin', and a-rockin'...
Some-times I will, then again I think I won't.
Some- times I do, then again I think I don't.
Well, I looked at my watch it was nine twenty one
'twas at a rock 'n' roll dance havin' nothin' but fun.
We were rollin' reelin' and a- rockin'.
We were reelin' and a- rockin' and rollin' till the break of dawn.
Well, I looked at my watch, it was nine thirty-two,
There's nothin' I'd rather do than dance with you.
We were rollin', reelin' and a-rockin'.
Well, I looked at my watch, it was nine forty-three,
And every time I'd spin, she'd spin with me.
We were reelin', reelin' and a-rockin'.

Handy Man lyrics - Conway Twitty
Hey girls, gather round
Listen to what I'm putting down
Whooo babe, I'm your handy man.
I'm not the kind to use a pencil or rule
When it comes to lovin' I'm no fool
I fix broken hearts,
I know I surely can.
If your broken heart should need repair
Then I'm the man to see
I whisper sweet words, you tell all your friends
They'll come runnin' to me.
Here is the main thing I want to say
I'm busy 24 hours a day
I fix broken hearts,
I know that I surely can.
If your broken heart needs repair
I'm the man to see
I whisper sweet words, you tell all your friends
They'll come runnin' to me.
Here is the main thing I want to say
I'm busy 24 hours a day
I fix broken hearts,
I know I surely can.
Come, come, come
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Come, come, come
Yeah, yeah, yeah...

If your broken heart should need repair
Then I'm the man to see
I whisper sweet words, you tell all your friends
They'll come runnin' to me.
