Two Timin' Two Stepper lyrics - Conway Twitty
He tells his wife he's going back to work
To finish something he's left undone
And like a fool she believes every word
The door slams and he's on the run
To that other side of town
Where the music's turned up
And the lights are turned down.
He's a two timin' two stepper
Looking for a one-night stand
Sliding on the dance floor
Slippin' off his wedding band
He'll waltz into the heart
Of every pretty girl he can
Ooo, He's a two timin' two stepper
Looking for a one-night stand.
Everybody in town knows his name
They know his wife and they know his game
But he continues to play it just the same
'Cause he's a fool and he has no shame
But he always seems to find
Somebody new to believe his lines.
He's a two timin' two stepper
Looking for a one-night stand
Sliding on the dance floor
Slippin' off his wedding band
He'll waltz into the heart
Of every pretty girl he can
Ooo, He's a two timin' two stepper
Looking for a one-night stand.
He'll keep dancin' and foolin' around
Till the walls around him come a-tumblin' down.
He's a two timin' two stepper
Looking for a one-night stand
Sliding an the dance floor
Slippin' off his wedding band
He'll waltz into the heart
Of every pretty girl he can
Ooo, He's a two timin' two stepper
Looking for a one-night stand.
He's a two timin' two stepper
Looking for a one-night stand...
To finish something he's left undone
And like a fool she believes every word
The door slams and he's on the run
To that other side of town
Where the music's turned up
And the lights are turned down.
He's a two timin' two stepper
Looking for a one-night stand
Sliding on the dance floor
Slippin' off his wedding band
He'll waltz into the heart
Of every pretty girl he can
Ooo, He's a two timin' two stepper
Looking for a one-night stand.
Everybody in town knows his name
They know his wife and they know his game
But he continues to play it just the same
'Cause he's a fool and he has no shame
But he always seems to find
Somebody new to believe his lines.
He's a two timin' two stepper
Looking for a one-night stand
Sliding on the dance floor
Slippin' off his wedding band
He'll waltz into the heart
Of every pretty girl he can
Ooo, He's a two timin' two stepper
Looking for a one-night stand.
He'll keep dancin' and foolin' around
Till the walls around him come a-tumblin' down.
He's a two timin' two stepper
Looking for a one-night stand
Sliding an the dance floor
Slippin' off his wedding band
He'll waltz into the heart
Of every pretty girl he can
Ooo, He's a two timin' two stepper
Looking for a one-night stand.
He's a two timin' two stepper
Looking for a one-night stand...
I Hurt For You lyrics - Conway Twitty
You know it kills me to see you crying
To think of all your love he's been denyin'
And I can't blame you for feeling cheated
Being so in love and so unneeded
But, the reason you keep trying is a feelin' that I know.
Oh, I hurt for you everytime he breaks your heart
Baby, I hurt for you and it's tearing me apart
To care the way I do, baby, I'm a fool
I watch you long for him and I hurt for you.
So love won't work out the way you planned it
Darling, all to well I understand it
But I'll be right here to console you
If that's the only chance I'll have to hold you
'Cause you're so lonely being stranded
With a dream you can't let go.
Oh, I hurt for you everytime he breaks your heart
Baby, I hurt for you and it's tearing me apart
To care the way I do, baby, I'm a fool
I watch you long for him and I hurt for you.
Oh, if you could want the one who loves you
Oh, maybe you would want me now
If you could just see how
I hurt for you everytime he breaks your heart
Baby, I hurt for you and it's tearing me apart
To care the way I do, baby, I'm a fool
I watch you long for him and I hurt for you.
I know you long for him, but I hurt for you...
To think of all your love he's been denyin'
And I can't blame you for feeling cheated
Being so in love and so unneeded
But, the reason you keep trying is a feelin' that I know.
Oh, I hurt for you everytime he breaks your heart
Baby, I hurt for you and it's tearing me apart
To care the way I do, baby, I'm a fool
I watch you long for him and I hurt for you.
So love won't work out the way you planned it
Darling, all to well I understand it
But I'll be right here to console you
If that's the only chance I'll have to hold you
'Cause you're so lonely being stranded
With a dream you can't let go.
Oh, I hurt for you everytime he breaks your heart
Baby, I hurt for you and it's tearing me apart
To care the way I do, baby, I'm a fool
I watch you long for him and I hurt for you.
Oh, if you could want the one who loves you
Oh, maybe you would want me now
If you could just see how
I hurt for you everytime he breaks your heart
Baby, I hurt for you and it's tearing me apart
To care the way I do, baby, I'm a fool
I watch you long for him and I hurt for you.
I know you long for him, but I hurt for you...
Don't It Make You Lonely lyrics - Conway Twitty
Couples walking in the park
Seeing them just breaks my heart in two, right in two
Wonder how you spend your time
Do you know that I'm still missing you, missing you
Am I the only one who can't stand a midnight train
Or do you hear that whistle moan and want my love again.
Ah don't it make you lonely,
Don't it make you wanna cry out loud
Don't it make you want me,
Don't it make you wanna work it out
Don't it make your heart ache
Even though you're finally free
Don't it make you lonely, lonely like me?
When you hear a sad song play
Does a teardrop lay there in your eye, do you cry
When you're alone and the day is done
Don't you wish we'd give it one more try,
Ah, just one more try?
And do you reach out in the
Middle of the night to find me gone
'Cause if you feel the way I do
Then baby why don't you come home
Ah, don't it make you lonely,
Don't it make you wanna cry out loud
Don't it make you want me,
Don't it make you wanna work it out
Don't it make your heart ache
Even though you're finally free
Don't it make you lonely, lonely like me?
Ah, don't it make you lonely, lonely like me?..
Seeing them just breaks my heart in two, right in two
Wonder how you spend your time
Do you know that I'm still missing you, missing you
Am I the only one who can't stand a midnight train
Or do you hear that whistle moan and want my love again.
Ah don't it make you lonely,
Don't it make you wanna cry out loud
Don't it make you want me,
Don't it make you wanna work it out
Don't it make your heart ache
Even though you're finally free
Don't it make you lonely, lonely like me?
When you hear a sad song play
Does a teardrop lay there in your eye, do you cry
When you're alone and the day is done
Don't you wish we'd give it one more try,
Ah, just one more try?
And do you reach out in the
Middle of the night to find me gone
'Cause if you feel the way I do
Then baby why don't you come home
Ah, don't it make you lonely,
Don't it make you wanna cry out loud
Don't it make you want me,
Don't it make you wanna work it out
Don't it make your heart ache
Even though you're finally free
Don't it make you lonely, lonely like me?
Ah, don't it make you lonely, lonely like me?..
I'm The Only Thing (I'll Hold Against You) lyrics - Conway Twitty
Yesterday, you walked away and left me
Today, you say you're sorry that we're through
Our love will work, we'll heal the hurt so help me
Laying blame's the last thing I would do.
I'm the only thing I'll hold against you
Let my loving arms show you the truth
There'll be no I told you sos
No matter how much heartache we go through
I love you, and I'm the only thing I'll hold against you.
I know it'd be just like the first time that I held you
When we swore that our love would always last
Lets give it one more try, don't be afraid to
One touch and we'll forget about the past.
I'm the only thing I'll hold against you
Let my loving arms show you the truth
There'll be no I told you sos
No matter how much heartache we go through
I love you, and I'm the only thing I'll hold against you.
Sometimes things go wrong
Between a woman and a man
I know we'll make it work,
All we need is a second chance
I'm the only thing I'll hold against you
Let my loving arms show you the truth
There'll be no I told you sos
No matter how much heartache we go through
I love you, and I'm the only thing I'll hold against you.
I'm the only thing I'll hold against you...
Today, you say you're sorry that we're through
Our love will work, we'll heal the hurt so help me
Laying blame's the last thing I would do.
I'm the only thing I'll hold against you
Let my loving arms show you the truth
There'll be no I told you sos
No matter how much heartache we go through
I love you, and I'm the only thing I'll hold against you.
I know it'd be just like the first time that I held you
When we swore that our love would always last
Lets give it one more try, don't be afraid to
One touch and we'll forget about the past.
I'm the only thing I'll hold against you
Let my loving arms show you the truth
There'll be no I told you sos
No matter how much heartache we go through
I love you, and I'm the only thing I'll hold against you.
Sometimes things go wrong
Between a woman and a man
I know we'll make it work,
All we need is a second chance
I'm the only thing I'll hold against you
Let my loving arms show you the truth
There'll be no I told you sos
No matter how much heartache we go through
I love you, and I'm the only thing I'll hold against you.
I'm the only thing I'll hold against you...
I Don't Love You lyrics - Conway Twitty
Pray before I close my eyes
Please don't be in my dreams again tonight
I don't love you.
There's no place in your life for me
So just get out of mine and let me be
I don't love you.
I don't stare at your photograph,
Wishing I could get you back
I don't need you at all
I swear it's true
I don't love you.
Think I'll go out on the town
Find someone to wrap my arms around
I don't love you.
I won't think twice when she's kissing me,
I won't be haunted by your memories
'Cause, I don't love you.
I don't think of the night you left
How you left me with no regrets
You just turned to me so calm and cool
And said, "I don't love you."
Ooo, I don't love you is what I say,
When the pain is too much to take
Over and over till I believe, it's true,
I don't love you.
I don't love you.
I don't love you.
I don't love you...
Please don't be in my dreams again tonight
I don't love you.
There's no place in your life for me
So just get out of mine and let me be
I don't love you.
I don't stare at your photograph,
Wishing I could get you back
I don't need you at all
I swear it's true
I don't love you.
Think I'll go out on the town
Find someone to wrap my arms around
I don't love you.
I won't think twice when she's kissing me,
I won't be haunted by your memories
'Cause, I don't love you.
I don't think of the night you left
How you left me with no regrets
You just turned to me so calm and cool
And said, "I don't love you."
Ooo, I don't love you is what I say,
When the pain is too much to take
Over and over till I believe, it's true,
I don't love you.
I don't love you.
I don't love you.
I don't love you...
The Likes Of Me lyrics - Conway Twitty
Baby, I bet your ears have been burnin'
'Cause the fence-post gossip wheels have been turnin'
They're sayin' you gave your love and got taken
And once again your heart is breakin'
You're thinkin' lonely is your destiny
You ain't ever been loved by the likes of me.
I'd like to be at your beck and call
I'd like to stay around for the long haul
Startin' tonight, I'd like to make sweet memories
Now, you ain't ever been loved by the likes of me.
If you need a helpin' hand to start over
Baby, I can give you more than a shoulder
You said you're havin' trouble believin'
That I won't be lovin' and leavin'
I say you've been hurtin' needlessly
It's high time you were loved by the likes of me.
I'd like to be at your beck and call
I'd like to stay around for the long haul
Startin' tonight, I'd like to make sweet memories
Now, you ain't ever been loved by the likes of me.
I'd like to be at your beck and call
I'd like to stay around for the long haul
Startin' tonight, I'd like to make sweet memories
Now, you ain't ever been loved by the likes of me.
You ain't ever been loved by the likes of me
Now, you ain't ever been loved by the likes of me...
'Cause the fence-post gossip wheels have been turnin'
They're sayin' you gave your love and got taken
And once again your heart is breakin'
You're thinkin' lonely is your destiny
You ain't ever been loved by the likes of me.
I'd like to be at your beck and call
I'd like to stay around for the long haul
Startin' tonight, I'd like to make sweet memories
Now, you ain't ever been loved by the likes of me.
If you need a helpin' hand to start over
Baby, I can give you more than a shoulder
You said you're havin' trouble believin'
That I won't be lovin' and leavin'
I say you've been hurtin' needlessly
It's high time you were loved by the likes of me.
I'd like to be at your beck and call
I'd like to stay around for the long haul
Startin' tonight, I'd like to make sweet memories
Now, you ain't ever been loved by the likes of me.
I'd like to be at your beck and call
I'd like to stay around for the long haul
Startin' tonight, I'd like to make sweet memories
Now, you ain't ever been loved by the likes of me.
You ain't ever been loved by the likes of me
Now, you ain't ever been loved by the likes of me...
An Old Memory Like Me lyrics - Conway Twitty
There's a clock on the wall
At the end of the hall
That hasn't kept time in years
There's an old tattered bear
In the bedroom somewhere
'Cause ya can't hardly sleep 'less it's near
There's an old box of letters
I know you still save
'Cause you're too sentimental
To throw them away
But is there room in your heart
For an old memory like me
There's an old satin gown
Been twice handed down
You were savin' for your wedding day
But you married in haste
What a terrible waste
And it never got used anyway
There's a bottle of champainge
It's french 59
But you might as well drink it
To happier times
Is there room in your heart
For an old memory like me
I used to tease you
'Cause you couldn't part with
things that were no use at all
now I'm afraid that you'll toss them away
after all
like the clock on the wall
at the end of the hall
that hasn't kept time in years
like the old tattered bear
in the bedroom somewhere
ya can't hardly sleep 'less it's near
there's a bottle of champainge
it's french 59
but you might as well drink it
to happier times
is there room in your heart
for an old memory like me
mmm hmm
is there room in your heart
for an old memory like me
mmm hmm
mmm hmm
At the end of the hall
That hasn't kept time in years
There's an old tattered bear
In the bedroom somewhere
'Cause ya can't hardly sleep 'less it's near
There's an old box of letters
I know you still save
'Cause you're too sentimental
To throw them away
But is there room in your heart
For an old memory like me
There's an old satin gown
Been twice handed down
You were savin' for your wedding day
But you married in haste
What a terrible waste
And it never got used anyway
There's a bottle of champainge
It's french 59
But you might as well drink it
To happier times
Is there room in your heart
For an old memory like me
I used to tease you
'Cause you couldn't part with
things that were no use at all
now I'm afraid that you'll toss them away
after all
like the clock on the wall
at the end of the hall
that hasn't kept time in years
like the old tattered bear
in the bedroom somewhere
ya can't hardly sleep 'less it's near
there's a bottle of champainge
it's french 59
but you might as well drink it
to happier times
is there room in your heart
for an old memory like me
mmm hmm
is there room in your heart
for an old memory like me
mmm hmm

Final Touches lyrics - Conway Twitty
I never felt the way I feel tonight
Here with you in the pale moonlight
Tender love songs on the radio,
Sweet, sweet music that lets feelings flow
There's love in our hearts and the stars above us
All that's left are the final touches.
Warm wine chilling in the mountain stream
Sweet Magnolias drifting on the breeze
Soft, southern accent on your ruby red lips
The promise held in your fingertips.
For the searching hand of midnight lovers
All that's left are the final touches.
This perfect picture of you and me
One more move and it'll be complete.
For the searching hand of midnight lovers
All that's left are the final touches.
All that's left are the final touches...
Here with you in the pale moonlight
Tender love songs on the radio,
Sweet, sweet music that lets feelings flow
There's love in our hearts and the stars above us
All that's left are the final touches.
Warm wine chilling in the mountain stream
Sweet Magnolias drifting on the breeze
Soft, southern accent on your ruby red lips
The promise held in your fingertips.
For the searching hand of midnight lovers
All that's left are the final touches.
This perfect picture of you and me
One more move and it'll be complete.
For the searching hand of midnight lovers
All that's left are the final touches.
All that's left are the final touches...
You Are To Me lyrics - Conway Twitty
Last Friday night down at the diner
Booth in back, they sat alone
Holding hands like two young lovers
Her hair was gray and his was gone.
She said to him I'm getting older
A pretty girl, no more to be
Heaven knows I'm not a treasure
He softly said, you are to me.
You are to me a girl in springtime
The one I met so long ago
A moment captured for a lifetime
That's what I see you are to me.
He said to her my work is done, now
And all that's left are memories
Heaven knows I'm not important
She softly said, you are to me.
You are to me a boy in springtime
The one I met so long ago
A moment captured for a lifetime
That's what I see, you are to me.
That's what I see, you are to me.
Last Friday night down at the diner...
Booth in back, they sat alone
Holding hands like two young lovers
Her hair was gray and his was gone.
She said to him I'm getting older
A pretty girl, no more to be
Heaven knows I'm not a treasure
He softly said, you are to me.
You are to me a girl in springtime
The one I met so long ago
A moment captured for a lifetime
That's what I see you are to me.
He said to her my work is done, now
And all that's left are memories
Heaven knows I'm not important
She softly said, you are to me.
You are to me a boy in springtime
The one I met so long ago
A moment captured for a lifetime
That's what I see, you are to me.
That's what I see, you are to me.
Last Friday night down at the diner...
You Ought To Try It Sometime lyrics - Conway Twitty
I want a honky-tonk girl,
I want a honky-tonk song
I'd like to pull my saddle off
And send my pony home.
I've got fast cars, fast planes
Fast trains everything
Never gets me there on time
You've got the bossman
Tax man screwing up my game plan
Messing with my mind.
You've got a bad moods, attitude
Every day can take a few
Good years off of my mind
But I put them back on
When the band kicks off
Every Saturday night.
I get a honky-tonk girl
And a honky-tonk song
Then I pull my saddle off
And send my pony home.
We're gonna dance all night
In and out of that line
With a rockin' beat
To get you on your feet
You ought to try it sometime.
Well, talk to me big wheel
Can you tell me what's the deal
Won't you let a poor boy slide
Back dent, pay the rent
Got to send them every cent
But I'm gonna survive.
With a honky-tonk girl
And a honky-tonk song
Then I pull my saddle off
And send my pony home.
We're gonna dance all night
In and out of that line
With a rockin' beat
To get you on your feet
You ought to try it sometime.
I get a honky-tonk girl
And a honky-tonk song
Then I pull my saddle off
And send my pony home...
I want a honky-tonk song
I'd like to pull my saddle off
And send my pony home.
I've got fast cars, fast planes
Fast trains everything
Never gets me there on time
You've got the bossman
Tax man screwing up my game plan
Messing with my mind.
You've got a bad moods, attitude
Every day can take a few
Good years off of my mind
But I put them back on
When the band kicks off
Every Saturday night.
I get a honky-tonk girl
And a honky-tonk song
Then I pull my saddle off
And send my pony home.
We're gonna dance all night
In and out of that line
With a rockin' beat
To get you on your feet
You ought to try it sometime.
Well, talk to me big wheel
Can you tell me what's the deal
Won't you let a poor boy slide
Back dent, pay the rent
Got to send them every cent

Then I pull my saddle off
And send my pony home.
We're gonna dance all night

To get you on your feet
You ought to try it sometime.
I get a honky-tonk girl
And a honky-tonk song
Then I pull my saddle off

She's Got A Man On Her Mind lyrics - Conway Twitty
See that far away look on her face
Twisting her hair, staring out into space
Theres no talking to her, don't even try
Better save your breath and just walk on by
She wasnt looking when he caught her eye
But now she can't see enough of that guy
Her head is spinning like a carnival wheel
Its getting scary but she loves how it feels.
Because shes got a man on her mind
Stirring in her soul, taking up all her time,
She's got all the symptoms, she's showing all the signs
She's got a man on her mind.
She's seeing less and less of the girls
Can't seem to fit them into her new world
Always the first to say that love wouldnt last
Now she's the one thats falling and shes falling pretty fast.
Because she's got a man on her mind
Stirring in her soul, taking up all her time,
She's got all the symptoms, she's showing all the signs
She's got a man on her mind.
It ain't been easy, just hanging tough,
even harder Understanding why she needs him so much
She's not herself when he's not around
Why he's even got her thinking 'bout settlin' down.
Because she's got a man on her mind
Stirring in her soul, taking up all her time,
She's got all the symptoms, she's showing all the signs
She's got a man on her mind.
Because she's got a man on her mind
Stirring in her soul, taking up all her time,
She's got all the symptoms, she's showing all the signs
She's got a man on her mind...
Twisting her hair, staring out into space
Theres no talking to her, don't even try
Better save your breath and just walk on by
She wasnt looking when he caught her eye
But now she can't see enough of that guy
Her head is spinning like a carnival wheel
Its getting scary but she loves how it feels.
Because shes got a man on her mind
Stirring in her soul, taking up all her time,
She's got all the symptoms, she's showing all the signs
She's got a man on her mind.
She's seeing less and less of the girls
Can't seem to fit them into her new world
Always the first to say that love wouldnt last
Now she's the one thats falling and shes falling pretty fast.
Because she's got a man on her mind
Stirring in her soul, taking up all her time,
She's got all the symptoms, she's showing all the signs
She's got a man on her mind.
It ain't been easy, just hanging tough,
even harder Understanding why she needs him so much
She's not herself when he's not around
Why he's even got her thinking 'bout settlin' down.
Because she's got a man on her mind
Stirring in her soul, taking up all her time,
She's got all the symptoms, she's showing all the signs
She's got a man on her mind.
Because she's got a man on her mind
Stirring in her soul, taking up all her time,
She's got all the symptoms, she's showing all the signs
She's got a man on her mind...
Even Now lyrics - Conway Twitty
Even now, your memory takes my breath away.
I'd give my heart to relive yesterday
When our love was sometihng new.
And even now, your perfume clings to the pillow where
I reach out for you but no one's there.
That's when I have to face the truth.
Too many times I lie and make you cry
And never see how it was tearin' you apart.
Now I see how much I lost
Each day I sadly pay the cost
Of breakin' both our hearts.
Told your friends the next time that she talks to you.
To say I'm so alone and feelin' blue
And if you want me to I'll crawl.
So if you find my memory lingers on your mind.
That telephone won't ring a second time.
I'll be here waiting for your call.
Please come home.
I learned how bad it hurts to be alone.
And how it feels to wake and find love gone.
I'll make it up to you somehow.
I need you here.
And I guess that makes us, even now...
I'd give my heart to relive yesterday
When our love was sometihng new.
And even now, your perfume clings to the pillow where
I reach out for you but no one's there.
That's when I have to face the truth.
Too many times I lie and make you cry
And never see how it was tearin' you apart.
Now I see how much I lost
Each day I sadly pay the cost
Of breakin' both our hearts.
Told your friends the next time that she talks to you.
To say I'm so alone and feelin' blue
And if you want me to I'll crawl.
So if you find my memory lingers on your mind.
That telephone won't ring a second time.
I'll be here waiting for your call.
Please come home.
I learned how bad it hurts to be alone.
And how it feels to wake and find love gone.
I'll make it up to you somehow.
I need you here.
And I guess that makes us, even now...
Someday You'll Love Me lyrics - Conway Twitty
Might be dreamin', might be crazy
Thinkin' you might love me maybe
Poor hearts pounding, overflowin'
Taking bets, I know where it's goin'
Someday you'll love me, it's written in the stars
Someday you need me, to hold you in my arms
Someday you'll want me, just as much as I want you
Someday you'll love me, I will be the one
Someday you need me, just call and I will come
Someday you'll love me just as much as I love you
Just as much as I love you
There's a glimmer in you eye now
What I'm sure of soon you'll find out
Oh, I want you moonlight dancin'
I won't take no for no answer
Someday you'll love me, it's written in the stars
Someday you need me, to hold you in my arms
Someday you'll want me, just as much as I want you
Someday you'll love me, I will be the one
Someday you need me, just call and I will come
Someday you'll love me just as much as I love you
Just as much as I love you
Someday you'll love me, it's written in the stars
Someday you need me, to hold you in my arms
Someday you'll want me, just as much as I want you
Someday you'll love me, I will be the one
Someday you need me, just call and I will come
Someday you'll love me just as much as I love you
Just as much as I love you
Thinkin' you might love me maybe
Poor hearts pounding, overflowin'
Taking bets, I know where it's goin'
Someday you'll love me, it's written in the stars
Someday you need me, to hold you in my arms
Someday you'll want me, just as much as I want you
Someday you'll love me, I will be the one
Someday you need me, just call and I will come
Someday you'll love me just as much as I love you
Just as much as I love you
There's a glimmer in you eye now
What I'm sure of soon you'll find out
Oh, I want you moonlight dancin'
I won't take no for no answer
Someday you'll love me, it's written in the stars
Someday you need me, to hold you in my arms
Someday you'll want me, just as much as I want you
Someday you'll love me, I will be the one
Someday you need me, just call and I will come
Someday you'll love me just as much as I love you
Just as much as I love you
Someday you'll love me, it's written in the stars
Someday you need me, to hold you in my arms
Someday you'll want me, just as much as I want you
Someday you'll love me, I will be the one
Someday you need me, just call and I will come
Someday you'll love me just as much as I love you
Just as much as I love you
She's In Love lyrics - Conway Twitty
My heart is beating so, just to know she is near
And when she speaks my name, her voice is all I can hear
The feeling she feels deep down inside
It touches my heart, brings tears to my eyes
'Cause she's in love when she looks at me
It's plain to see that she's in love
She's just not in love with me
As she gently takes my hand and tells me she's his for the taking
She'll never understand the way that my heart is breaking
We've been such friends, so I'll never tell
How I love her so while I wish her well
She's in love when she looks at me
It's plain to see that she's in love
She's just not in love and she'll never be
She's just not in love with me
And when she speaks my name, her voice is all I can hear
The feeling she feels deep down inside
It touches my heart, brings tears to my eyes
'Cause she's in love when she looks at me
It's plain to see that she's in love
She's just not in love with me
As she gently takes my hand and tells me she's his for the taking
She'll never understand the way that my heart is breaking
We've been such friends, so I'll never tell
How I love her so while I wish her well
She's in love when she looks at me
It's plain to see that she's in love
She's just not in love and she'll never be
She's just not in love with me
You Put It There lyrics - Conway Twitty
You see this smile on my face
You put it there
There was a time you couldn't barely trace
Any one anywhere.
Now I got dreams, the future's mine
Built outta rock, it won't turn to sand
Cause I got love in my life
And you put it there.
There's a high step in my walk
And you put it there
You make me feel ten feet tall
Because you care.
I had no one to call my own
Spent every night all alone.
Now I've got love in my life
And you put it there.
Oh, what a difference
Your sweet love made in me
I was like a puzzle with pieces missin'
So incomplete.
But you put me together
With two loving arms
Made me feel like I am someone
Yeah, I got love in my life
And you put it there.
Talkin' 'bout love in my life
And you put it there
You put it there
There was a time you couldn't barely trace
Any one anywhere.
Now I got dreams, the future's mine
Built outta rock, it won't turn to sand
Cause I got love in my life
And you put it there.
There's a high step in my walk
And you put it there
You make me feel ten feet tall
Because you care.
I had no one to call my own
Spent every night all alone.
Now I've got love in my life
And you put it there.
Oh, what a difference
Your sweet love made in me
I was like a puzzle with pieces missin'
So incomplete.
But you put me together
With two loving arms
Made me feel like I am someone
Yeah, I got love in my life
And you put it there.
Talkin' 'bout love in my life
And you put it there
Life's Too Short (No Matter How Long It Lasts) lyrics - Conway Twitty
Big brother had a treehouse club when he was only ten
I didn't know the secret code, so they wouldn't let me in
They told me I was much too young for the kind of games they played
I remember, I would sit and cry, wishin' I was twice my age.
My grandpa was the only one with a sympathetic ear
Patiently, he'd comfort me when I was close to tears
And I'd say gramps, why does it take so long for time to pass
And he'd say, sport, life's too short no matter how long it lasts.
Too soon you'll see how suddenly tomorrow becomes the past
Life's too short no matter how long it lasts.
At twenty-one, they called me home, cause Grandpa's time was near
We gathered 'round his bedside, fighting back the tears
I said, Grandpa, we can't let you go, even though you're ninety-three
He said, I'd love to stay, but it ain't up to me.
And then, we heard him whisper in a voice that was fading fast
Life's too short no matter how long it lasts.
Today my little grandson came and climbed up on my knee
He said, why can't I be all grown up, instead of only three
And then, those old familiar words came tumbling from the past
And, I said, sport, life's too short no matter how long it lasts.
Too soon you'll see how suddenly tomorrow becomes the past
Life's too short no matter how long it lasts.
Life's much too short, no matter how long it lasts...
I didn't know the secret code, so they wouldn't let me in
They told me I was much too young for the kind of games they played
I remember, I would sit and cry, wishin' I was twice my age.
My grandpa was the only one with a sympathetic ear
Patiently, he'd comfort me when I was close to tears
And I'd say gramps, why does it take so long for time to pass
And he'd say, sport, life's too short no matter how long it lasts.
Too soon you'll see how suddenly tomorrow becomes the past
Life's too short no matter how long it lasts.
At twenty-one, they called me home, cause Grandpa's time was near
We gathered 'round his bedside, fighting back the tears
I said, Grandpa, we can't let you go, even though you're ninety-three
He said, I'd love to stay, but it ain't up to me.
And then, we heard him whisper in a voice that was fading fast
Life's too short no matter how long it lasts.
Today my little grandson came and climbed up on my knee
He said, why can't I be all grown up, instead of only three
And then, those old familiar words came tumbling from the past
And, I said, sport, life's too short no matter how long it lasts.
Too soon you'll see how suddenly tomorrow becomes the past
Life's too short no matter how long it lasts.
Life's much too short, no matter how long it lasts...
Let The Pretty Lady Dance lyrics - Conway Twitty
Tonight she dances all alone
She sways and the jukebox plays on and on
It's into the music, she's gone
Someone let her down, oh, I understand
Me, I'd be happy just holdin' her hand
People, step aside, let the pretty lady dance
Oh, I wonder what I could say
A word to help take the hurt away
I feel what she feels as she sways
Someone let her down, oh, I understand
Me, I'd be happy just holdin' her hand
People, step aside, let the pretty lady dance
Her eyes, I see a teardrop fall
Her dream was only a dream, that's all
She turns her face to the wall
Someone let her down, oh, I understand
Me, I'd be happy just holdin' her hand
People, step aside, let the pretty lady dance
Lots of things in life break a heart in two
Sometimes just dancin's the best we can do
People, step aside, let the pretty lady dance
She sways and the jukebox plays on and on
It's into the music, she's gone
Someone let her down, oh, I understand
Me, I'd be happy just holdin' her hand
People, step aside, let the pretty lady dance
Oh, I wonder what I could say
A word to help take the hurt away
I feel what she feels as she sways
Someone let her down, oh, I understand
Me, I'd be happy just holdin' her hand
People, step aside, let the pretty lady dance
Her eyes, I see a teardrop fall
Her dream was only a dream, that's all
She turns her face to the wall
Someone let her down, oh, I understand
Me, I'd be happy just holdin' her hand
People, step aside, let the pretty lady dance
Lots of things in life break a heart in two
Sometimes just dancin's the best we can do
People, step aside, let the pretty lady dance
Every Time I Think It's Over lyrics - Conway Twitty
When we run into problems
It's always hard for me to compromise
I get to thinkin' 'bout my freedom
And all the ways that I could start another life
And I wonder if our forever could be coming to an end
So, everytime I think it's over, I think it over again.
Too many hearts get broken
I know that happens all the time
But, when you split love down the middle
Tell me, where do you draw the line
Anyway you look at it, does anybody win
So, everytime I think it's over, I think it over again.
I've finally come to realize
That ups and downs are all a part of love
And, there's just no better feelin'
When the angers dies, and we start making up
And, from that new beginning we come back to being friends
And, everytime I think it's over, I think it over again.
Too many hearts get broken
I know that happens all the time
But, when you split love down the middle
Tell me, where do you draw the line
Anyway you look at it, does anybody win
So, everytime I think it's over, I think it over again.
And everytime I think it's over, I think it over again...
It's always hard for me to compromise
I get to thinkin' 'bout my freedom
And all the ways that I could start another life
And I wonder if our forever could be coming to an end
So, everytime I think it's over, I think it over again.
Too many hearts get broken
I know that happens all the time
But, when you split love down the middle
Tell me, where do you draw the line
Anyway you look at it, does anybody win
So, everytime I think it's over, I think it over again.
I've finally come to realize
That ups and downs are all a part of love
And, there's just no better feelin'
When the angers dies, and we start making up
And, from that new beginning we come back to being friends
And, everytime I think it's over, I think it over again.
Too many hearts get broken
I know that happens all the time
But, when you split love down the middle
Tell me, where do you draw the line
Anyway you look at it, does anybody win
So, everytime I think it's over, I think it over again.
And everytime I think it's over, I think it over again...
It's Such A Heartache lyrics - Conway Twitty
Each time I dial your number
I never get an answer
It seems like you're avoiding me
I can't take unhappy endings
So I just keep pretending
You'll see the light eventually
Can't stop my heart from breaking
Can't stop my hands from shaking
Can't keep my eyes from crying
Can't believe your love is dying
Can't stop the rain from falling
No answer when I'm calling
My love, it's so confusing
It's such a heartache losing you
Feels like some tragic movie
Please say you'll come back to me
Dreaming of you night after night
I'm having trouble sleeping
Your memory is keeping
These feelings running through my mind
Can't stop my heart from breaking
Can't stop my hands from shaking
Can't keep my eyes from crying
Can't believe your love is dying
Can't stop the rain from falling
No answer when I'm calling
My love, it's so confusing
It's such a heartache losing you
It's such a heartache
I don't know what to do
It's such a heartache
And it's tearing me in two
You took away the dream
I wanted more than anything
Can't stop my heart from breaking
Can't stop my hands from shaking
Can't keep my eyes from crying
Can't believe your love is dying
Can't stop the rain from falling
No answer when I'm calling
My love, it's so confusing
It's such a heartache losing you
Can't stop my heart from breaking
Can't stop my hands from shaking
Can't keep my eyes from crying
Can't believe your love is dying
Can't stop the rain from falling
No answer when I'm calling
My love, it's so confusing
It's such a heartache losing you
I never get an answer
It seems like you're avoiding me
I can't take unhappy endings
So I just keep pretending
You'll see the light eventually
Can't stop my heart from breaking
Can't stop my hands from shaking
Can't keep my eyes from crying
Can't believe your love is dying
Can't stop the rain from falling
No answer when I'm calling
My love, it's so confusing
It's such a heartache losing you
Feels like some tragic movie
Please say you'll come back to me
Dreaming of you night after night
I'm having trouble sleeping
Your memory is keeping
These feelings running through my mind
Can't stop my heart from breaking
Can't stop my hands from shaking
Can't keep my eyes from crying
Can't believe your love is dying
Can't stop the rain from falling
No answer when I'm calling
My love, it's so confusing
It's such a heartache losing you
It's such a heartache
I don't know what to do
It's such a heartache
And it's tearing me in two
You took away the dream
I wanted more than anything
Can't stop my heart from breaking
Can't stop my hands from shaking
Can't keep my eyes from crying
Can't believe your love is dying
Can't stop the rain from falling
No answer when I'm calling
My love, it's so confusing
It's such a heartache losing you
Can't stop my heart from breaking
Can't stop my hands from shaking
Can't keep my eyes from crying
Can't believe your love is dying
Can't stop the rain from falling
No answer when I'm calling
My love, it's so confusing
It's such a heartache losing you
Who Did They Think He Was lyrics - Conway Twitty
A child was born in Tupelo
In 1935
I'm grateful for his music
It forever changed my life.
Oh, I loved, love me tender
And how that boy could sing
But when he died I wondered why
Millions called him King.
Tell me, who did they think
Who did they think He was?
Who did they think
Who did they think He was?
The whole world bowed and prayed
But it only made me say
Who did they think
Who did they think He was?
He was born in Massachussetts
In 1917
The second son of an Irishman
Oh, we all loved Kennedy.
He was brave and strong and handsome
A helluva a president
But when he died
Millions cried like he was heaven sent.
Tell me who did they think
Who did they think He was?
Who did they think
Who did they think he was?
The whole world bowed and prayed
But it only made me say
Who did they think
Who did they think He was?
There was a child of heaven
Born in Bethlehem
Just a simple carpenter
With worn and callused hands.
Oh, he healed the heart of many
So they nailed him to a tree
With no one left to mourn his death
But the women at his feet.
Crying, Who did they think
Who did they think He was
Who did they think
Who did they think He was?
There was no one left to grieve
But the women at his feet
Crying, who did they think
Who did they think He was?
Who did they think
Who did they think He was?...
In 1935
I'm grateful for his music
It forever changed my life.
Oh, I loved, love me tender
And how that boy could sing
But when he died I wondered why
Millions called him King.
Tell me, who did they think
Who did they think He was?
Who did they think
Who did they think He was?
The whole world bowed and prayed
But it only made me say
Who did they think
Who did they think He was?
He was born in Massachussetts
In 1917
The second son of an Irishman
Oh, we all loved Kennedy.
He was brave and strong and handsome
A helluva a president
But when he died
Millions cried like he was heaven sent.
Tell me who did they think
Who did they think He was?
Who did they think
Who did they think he was?
The whole world bowed and prayed
But it only made me say
Who did they think
Who did they think He was?
There was a child of heaven
Born in Bethlehem
Just a simple carpenter
With worn and callused hands.
Oh, he healed the heart of many
So they nailed him to a tree
With no one left to mourn his death
But the women at his feet.
Crying, Who did they think
Who did they think He was
Who did they think
Who did they think He was?
There was no one left to grieve
But the women at his feet
Crying, who did they think
Who did they think He was?
Who did they think
Who did they think He was?...
A Little Of You lyrics - Conway Twitty
Today, I put on your favorite shirt
I know you won't see me, but what can it hurt
It's just a piece of your memory that stayed behind
It hangs in my closet and here in my mind.
Oh, oh, In every thing that I do
There will always be a little of you
In my soul emblazened and blue
There will always be a little of you.
In every smile I have to force on my face
In every tear that I ever taste
In every victory that I like to share
In every loss when I wish you were there, beside me.
Oh, oh, in everything that I do
There will always be a little of you
In my soul emblazened and blue
There will always be a little of you.
I'm all over the pain
But the scars remain, to remind me.
Oh, oh, in everything that I do
There will always be a little of you
In my soul emblazened and blue
There will always be a little of you.
Oh, oh, there's a little of you...
I know you won't see me, but what can it hurt
It's just a piece of your memory that stayed behind
It hangs in my closet and here in my mind.
Oh, oh, In every thing that I do
There will always be a little of you
In my soul emblazened and blue
There will always be a little of you.
In every smile I have to force on my face
In every tear that I ever taste
In every victory that I like to share
In every loss when I wish you were there, beside me.
Oh, oh, in everything that I do
There will always be a little of you
In my soul emblazened and blue
There will always be a little of you.
I'm all over the pain
But the scars remain, to remind me.
Oh, oh, in everything that I do
There will always be a little of you
In my soul emblazened and blue
There will always be a little of you.
Oh, oh, there's a little of you...
Crazy In Love lyrics - Conway Twitty
Ain't it funny how time
Steals the feelings from a love affair
And there's no place to lay the blame
It ain't a case of no one cares
Helplessly just watch it fade away
Neither will admit we're both aching to say.
Ooo, I miss the days when we were crazy in love
When you weren't so sure of me
I had my little jealousies
Ooo, bring back the days when we were crazy in love
I need to feel that way again
Remember when we were crazy in love.
Oh, it used to be so easy one touch and you were high
And I could get intoxicated just by looking in your eyes
Baby ain't there anything we can do
'Cause I know you're missing me
As much as I've been missing you.
Ooo, I miss the days when we were crazy in love
When you weren't so sure of me
I had my little jealousies
Ooo, bring back the days when we were crazy in love
I need to feel that way again
Remember when we were crazy in love.
We were more than best of friends
We were crazy in love
Crazy in love
Crazy in love...
Steals the feelings from a love affair
And there's no place to lay the blame
It ain't a case of no one cares
Helplessly just watch it fade away
Neither will admit we're both aching to say.
Ooo, I miss the days when we were crazy in love
When you weren't so sure of me
I had my little jealousies
Ooo, bring back the days when we were crazy in love
I need to feel that way again
Remember when we were crazy in love.
Oh, it used to be so easy one touch and you were high
And I could get intoxicated just by looking in your eyes
Baby ain't there anything we can do
'Cause I know you're missing me
As much as I've been missing you.
Ooo, I miss the days when we were crazy in love
When you weren't so sure of me
I had my little jealousies
Ooo, bring back the days when we were crazy in love
I need to feel that way again
Remember when we were crazy in love.
We were more than best of friends
We were crazy in love
Crazy in love
Crazy in love...
When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman lyrics - Conway Twitty
When you're in love with a beautiful woman
It's hard
When you're in love with a beautiful woman
Well, it's hard
Everybody wants her
Everybody loves her
Everybody wants to take your baby home.
When you're in love with a beautiful woman
You watch your friends
When you're in love with a beautiful woman
It never ends
You know that it's crazy
You want to trust her
Then somebody hangs up when you answer the phone
When you're in love with a beautiful woman
You go it alone.
Maybe it's just an ego problem
Problem is I've been fooled before
By fair-weather friends and faint-hearted lovers
And everytime it happens
It just convinces me more.
When you're in love with a beautiful woman
You watch her eyes
When you're in love with a beautiful woman
You look for lies
Everybody tempts her
Everybody tells her
She's the most beautiful woman they know.
When you're in love with a beautiful woman.
When you're in love with a beautiful woman...
It's hard
When you're in love with a beautiful woman
Well, it's hard
Everybody wants her
Everybody loves her
Everybody wants to take your baby home.
When you're in love with a beautiful woman
You watch your friends
When you're in love with a beautiful woman
It never ends
You know that it's crazy
You want to trust her
Then somebody hangs up when you answer the phone
When you're in love with a beautiful woman
You go it alone.
Maybe it's just an ego problem
Problem is I've been fooled before
By fair-weather friends and faint-hearted lovers
And everytime it happens
It just convinces me more.
When you're in love with a beautiful woman
You watch her eyes
When you're in love with a beautiful woman
You look for lies
Everybody tempts her
Everybody tells her
She's the most beautiful woman they know.
When you're in love with a beautiful woman.
When you're in love with a beautiful woman...
I'm Tired Of Being Something (That Means Nothing To You) lyrics - Conway Twitty
Everybody tells me I'd be better off without you
They say one-sided love affairs tend to leave you lonely, sad, and blue
But, I'm finding it hard to say goodbye to something I hold true
And, I'm tired of being something that means nothing to you.
I'd love to see the day you come and tell me I'm the only one you need
You've got me right where you want me, right where I shouldn't be
But, I'm finding it hard to say goodbye to something I hold true
Oh, and I'm tired of being something that means nothing to you.
I'm tired of being everything that you don't care anything about
It's just enough to be too much for me to take, and I want out
You're in and out of love with me, not realizing all you put me through
And, I'm tired of being something that means nothing to you.
Oh, I'm tired of being something that means nothing to you...
They say one-sided love affairs tend to leave you lonely, sad, and blue
But, I'm finding it hard to say goodbye to something I hold true
And, I'm tired of being something that means nothing to you.
I'd love to see the day you come and tell me I'm the only one you need
You've got me right where you want me, right where I shouldn't be
But, I'm finding it hard to say goodbye to something I hold true
Oh, and I'm tired of being something that means nothing to you.
I'm tired of being everything that you don't care anything about
It's just enough to be too much for me to take, and I want out
You're in and out of love with me, not realizing all you put me through
And, I'm tired of being something that means nothing to you.
Oh, I'm tired of being something that means nothing to you...
What's Another Goodbye lyrics - Conway Twitty
Don't you worry so much about it
I knew someday you'd say goodbye
No need in crying, we both can do without it
And, I'll fall in love again bye and bye.
What's a penny to a millionaire?
What's another seashell to the sea?
It's okay, I'll probably survive it
What's another goodbye to a fool like me?
I just can't fight it, I'm a lover
I'm a sucker for the moon and a lonely night
I'll keep on going through one heart after the other
And, hope someday I'll get it right.
What's a penny to a millionaire?
What's another seashell to the sea?
It's okay, I'll probably survive it
What's another goodbye to a fool like me?
Go on, I know you've got to do it
So, go on, I'm gettin' good at living through it.
What's a penny to a millionaire?
What's another seashell to the sea?
It's okay, I'll probably survive it
What's another goodbye to a fool like me?
I knew someday you'd say goodbye
No need in crying, we both can do without it
And, I'll fall in love again bye and bye.
What's a penny to a millionaire?
What's another seashell to the sea?
It's okay, I'll probably survive it
What's another goodbye to a fool like me?
I just can't fight it, I'm a lover
I'm a sucker for the moon and a lonely night
I'll keep on going through one heart after the other
And, hope someday I'll get it right.
What's a penny to a millionaire?
What's another seashell to the sea?
It's okay, I'll probably survive it
What's another goodbye to a fool like me?
Go on, I know you've got to do it
So, go on, I'm gettin' good at living through it.
What's a penny to a millionaire?
What's another seashell to the sea?
It's okay, I'll probably survive it
What's another goodbye to a fool like me?
Shadow Of A Distant Friend lyrics - Conway Twitty
Like a muddy river runnin' wild and deep
You've got a flaming memory that keeps burning me
Just when I think you love me, doubt creeps in
I still feel the shadow of your distant friend.
It's a major heartache when you lose your trust
Then the love you're feelin' begins to rust
Just when the sun is shinin', doubt creeps in
I still feel the shadow of your distant friend.
I still feel the past each time you touch me
Will that fire in your mind ever end
I'm so afraid our love may turn to ashes
'Cause, I still feel the shadow of your distant friend.
You know, I really love you, but your heart's confused
By that achin' fever that keeps haunting you
Just when I think it's over, it starts again
I still feel the shadow of your distant friend.
I still feel the past each time you touch me
Will that fire in your mind ever end
I'm so afraid our love may turn to ashes
'Cause, I still feel the shadow of your distant friend.
Yeah, I still feel the shadow of your distant friend...
You've got a flaming memory that keeps burning me
Just when I think you love me, doubt creeps in
I still feel the shadow of your distant friend.
It's a major heartache when you lose your trust
Then the love you're feelin' begins to rust
Just when the sun is shinin', doubt creeps in
I still feel the shadow of your distant friend.
I still feel the past each time you touch me
Will that fire in your mind ever end
I'm so afraid our love may turn to ashes
'Cause, I still feel the shadow of your distant friend.
You know, I really love you, but your heart's confused
By that achin' fever that keeps haunting you
Just when I think it's over, it starts again
I still feel the shadow of your distant friend.
I still feel the past each time you touch me
Will that fire in your mind ever end
I'm so afraid our love may turn to ashes
'Cause, I still feel the shadow of your distant friend.
Yeah, I still feel the shadow of your distant friend...
One Bridge I Didn't Burn lyrics - Conway Twitty
I know how long it's been
So, if I can't come in
Then let me just talk to you through the door
I'm a man without a place
Lost, and lookin' for a trace
Of the warm and tender love we had before
I closed every door behind me
Shook my shoes and walked away
Turned my back on you and everything I had yesterday
It's a long, hard road
That leads back from the point of no return
And, I'm just lookin' for one bridge I didn't burn
This river looks so wide
Standing on the lonely side
And, wishing I could be back home again
I'd do anything at all
Just to find a way across
And, to know that you'd forgive the fool I've been
I closed every door behind me
Shook my shoes and walked away
Turned my back on you and everything I had yesterday
It's a long, hard road
That leads back from the point of no return
And, I'm just lookin' for one bridge I didn't burn
So, if I can't come in
Then let me just talk to you through the door
I'm a man without a place
Lost, and lookin' for a trace
Of the warm and tender love we had before
I closed every door behind me
Shook my shoes and walked away
Turned my back on you and everything I had yesterday
It's a long, hard road
That leads back from the point of no return
And, I'm just lookin' for one bridge I didn't burn
This river looks so wide
Standing on the lonely side
And, wishing I could be back home again
I'd do anything at all
Just to find a way across
And, to know that you'd forgive the fool I've been
I closed every door behind me
Shook my shoes and walked away
Turned my back on you and everything I had yesterday
It's a long, hard road
That leads back from the point of no return
And, I'm just lookin' for one bridge I didn't burn
I Couldn't See You Leavin' lyrics - Conway Twitty
Lying all alone in this midnight blue
With nothing but these memories of you
Staring at these walls that are closing in
Wondering if you're ever coming back again.
Now I'm just a prisoner in this big old bed
Living with the things that I should've said
Why is it always after someone's gone
That you begin to see where you went wrong.
I couldn't see you leaving, but I can see you're gone
That note you left on my pillow said I was on my own
I never heard you crying, 'cause I was seldom home
I couldn't see you leaving, but I can see you're gone.
I just keep wondering where you are tonight
And if someone else is holding you tight
It took you walking out the door to see
That I'm really nothing when you're not with me.
I did a good job of fooling myself
Thinking that you're love would stay on the shelf
But how could anybody be so blind
To have to wake up alone and find.
I couldn't see you leaving, but I can see you're gone
That note you left on my pillow said I was on my own
I never heard you crying, 'cause I was seldom home
I couldn't see you leaving, but I can see you're gone.
I couldn't see you leaving, but I can see you're gone...
With nothing but these memories of you
Staring at these walls that are closing in
Wondering if you're ever coming back again.
Now I'm just a prisoner in this big old bed
Living with the things that I should've said
Why is it always after someone's gone
That you begin to see where you went wrong.
I couldn't see you leaving, but I can see you're gone
That note you left on my pillow said I was on my own
I never heard you crying, 'cause I was seldom home
I couldn't see you leaving, but I can see you're gone.
I just keep wondering where you are tonight
And if someone else is holding you tight
It took you walking out the door to see
That I'm really nothing when you're not with me.
I did a good job of fooling myself
Thinking that you're love would stay on the shelf
But how could anybody be so blind
To have to wake up alone and find.
I couldn't see you leaving, but I can see you're gone
That note you left on my pillow said I was on my own
I never heard you crying, 'cause I was seldom home
I couldn't see you leaving, but I can see you're gone.
I couldn't see you leaving, but I can see you're gone...
Just The Thought Of Losing You lyrics - Conway Twitty
Two different worlds, somehow find a way to come together
Moving so close 'til now and we find ourselves alone
So it's one more lonely night
I try to feel like it was over
But just the thought of losing you
And the emptiness is more than I can take
Living without loving you, my senses all break down now
Girl, I'm lost at just the thought of losing you
All of my life, no one else ever meant enough to hold me
I've been afraid of myself and the way I needed you
You've been waiting much too long
I don't need to think it over
And, just the thought of losing you
And the emptiness is more than I can take
Living without loving you, my senses all break down now
Girl, I'm lost at just the thought of losing you
Just the thought of losing you
And the emptiness is more than I can take
Just the thought of losing you
I close my eyes now, I can't see it end this way
Moving so close 'til now and we find ourselves alone
So it's one more lonely night
I try to feel like it was over
But just the thought of losing you
And the emptiness is more than I can take
Living without loving you, my senses all break down now
Girl, I'm lost at just the thought of losing you
All of my life, no one else ever meant enough to hold me
I've been afraid of myself and the way I needed you
You've been waiting much too long
I don't need to think it over
And, just the thought of losing you
And the emptiness is more than I can take
Living without loving you, my senses all break down now
Girl, I'm lost at just the thought of losing you
Just the thought of losing you
And the emptiness is more than I can take
Just the thought of losing you
I close my eyes now, I can't see it end this way
Heart's Breakin' All Over Town lyrics - Conway Twitty
Hush, hush
Everyone who had a great big crush
Just hit the ground
Yeah, that's the sound
Of hearts breakin' all over town
Hey, hey, guys, I see you've heard the news
Sooner or later she had to choose
Yeah, we all thought we might be the one
Now, she's gone and tied the knot
And everybody looks so stunned
Hush, hush
Everyone who had a great big crush
Just hit the ground
Yeah, that's the sound
Of hearts breakin' all over town
She had looks and such a charming way
You know, girls like her don't come along every day
She cast a spell you could not resist
Now, all of us are moping around
Crying 'bout the chance we missed
Hush, hush
Everyone who had a great big crush
Just hit the ground
Yeah, that's the sound
Of hearts breakin' all over town
Hush, hush
Everyone who had a great big crush
Just hit the ground
Yeah, that's the sound
Of hearts breakin' all over town
Hey, hey, guys, I see you've heard the news
Sooner or later she had to choose
Yeah, we all thought we might be the one
Now, she's gone and tied the knot
And everybody looks so stunned
Hush, hush
Everyone who had a great big crush
Just hit the ground
Yeah, that's the sound
Of hearts breakin' all over town
She had looks and such a charming way
You know, girls like her don't come along every day
She cast a spell you could not resist
Now, all of us are moping around
Crying 'bout the chance we missed
Hush, hush
Everyone who had a great big crush
Just hit the ground
Yeah, that's the sound
Of hearts breakin' all over town
Hush, hush
She's Got A Single Thing In Mind lyrics - Conway Twitty
She can't find the words to break it to me
cause she always was the gentle kind
she's hopin' I'll hear it from a friend somewhere
she's hopin' I'll read between the lines
but it comes as no surprise
cause she told me with her eyes
so watch her untie the tie that binds
she's got a single thing in mind
She's already gone except in body
it's just a matter now, of time
well I should have seen
the storm clouds gatherin
but he who won't look is just as blind
so there's only me to blame
when my woman dropped my name
so watch her untie the tie that binds
she's got a single thing in mind
So watch her untie the tie that binds
she's got a single thing in mind
cause she always was the gentle kind
she's hopin' I'll hear it from a friend somewhere
she's hopin' I'll read between the lines
but it comes as no surprise
cause she told me with her eyes
so watch her untie the tie that binds
she's got a single thing in mind
She's already gone except in body
it's just a matter now, of time
well I should have seen
the storm clouds gatherin
but he who won't look is just as blind
so there's only me to blame
when my woman dropped my name
so watch her untie the tie that binds
she's got a single thing in mind
So watch her untie the tie that binds
she's got a single thing in mind
Who's Gonna Know lyrics - Conway Twitty
I know you know whats on my mind
Its been coming on for some time
Theres no way for us to stop it
If we just let go
Who's gonna know (who's gonna know if we touch each other)
Who's gonna know (who's gonna know how it feels together)
If we share our love, who's gonna know?
We've run away from this before
But we can't do that anymore
Sitting here with our hearts on fire
Any nobodys looking
Who's gonna know (who's gonna know if we touch each other)
Who's gonna know (if we spend this night together)
If we share our love, who's gonna know?
Lets go down that narrow road to heaven
Who's gonna find out?
Who's gonna hurt if we do?
Who's gonna know?
If we share our love, who's gonna know?...
Its been coming on for some time
Theres no way for us to stop it
If we just let go
Who's gonna know (who's gonna know if we touch each other)
Who's gonna know (who's gonna know how it feels together)
If we share our love, who's gonna know?
We've run away from this before
But we can't do that anymore
Sitting here with our hearts on fire
Any nobodys looking
Who's gonna know (who's gonna know if we touch each other)
Who's gonna know (if we spend this night together)
If we share our love, who's gonna know?
Lets go down that narrow road to heaven
Who's gonna find out?
Who's gonna hurt if we do?
Who's gonna know?
If we share our love, who's gonna know?...
Play, Ruby, Play lyrics - Conway Twitty
Well, Ruby, she was a redneck beauty
She loved Little Richard and sang 'Tootie Fruitie'
And wanted her name in lights and wore her dresses tight
Yeah, Ruby was a victim of circumstance
'Cause she liked to wiggle and boogie dance
Out in the country she hardly ever got the chance
She had a local band, played the local bars
Had the local boys breathin' hard
She had hillbilly eyes that could shine in the dark
She had a country soul and a rock 'n' roll heart
And her whole body shook when she stood up and played the piano
And the boys say, "Play, Ruby, play, we really like the way you do it
Play, Ruby, play, we love the way you get into it"
She made the young men scream and the old men moan
Rock on, rock on, rock on
Sometimes at night with the full moon beamin'
She would run around the mountain kickin' and screamin'
Sayin', If I don't get out on the road I'm gonna explode
Last time I saw her she was down in the city
Shakin' and shoutin', making plenty
Yeah, Ruby was a sight to behold, she was on a roll
She had a local band, played the local bars
Had the local boys breathin' hard
She had hillbilly eyes that could shine in the dark
She had a country soul and a rock 'n' roll heart
And her whole body shook when she stood up and played the piano
And the boys say, "Play, Ruby, play, we really like the way you do it
Play, Ruby, play, we love the way you get into it"
She made the young men scream and the old men moan
Rock on, rock on, rock on
Rock on, rock on, rock on
Well, Ruby, she was a redneck beauty
She loved Little Richard and sang 'Tootie Fruitie'
And wanted her name in lights and wore her dresses tight
Yeah, Ruby was a victim of circumstance
'Cause she liked to wiggle and boogie dance
Out in the country she hardly ever got the chance
She loved Little Richard and sang 'Tootie Fruitie'
And wanted her name in lights and wore her dresses tight
Yeah, Ruby was a victim of circumstance
'Cause she liked to wiggle and boogie dance

House On Old Lonesome Road lyrics - Conway Twitty
Every night it's the same old time,
I leave work at five-o-five
Been doing my best to forget about her
But she's driving me out of my mind.
When I get home, I know what I'll find,
How I wish that it wasn't so
There'll be no one there to hold me tonight,
In that house on old lonesome road.
I recall how we laughed
When we read the name
In the paper before we moved in,
After we did our friends all asked
If that house was lonesome back then.
We were so young, our dreams were so new,
There's just no way that we could have known,
The irony of that place where we loved,
That house on Old lonesome road.
It's only shingles and shutters
And a case of worn out stairs
And just like my old heart they need repair,
Maybe I should sell it,
Yeah, maybe that would be the best,
Maybe then someone else could find
Some love at that address.
I used to love that old house so much
Back before she went away
Now everything there is just gathering dust,
I should clean it up if I'm going to stay.
I don't have too much time anymore,
I'm too busy talking to ghosts,
'Cause her memory, keeps me compay,
In that house on old lonesome road.
It's only shingles and shutters
And a case of worn out stairs
And just like my old heart they need repair,
Maybe I should sell it,
Yeah, maybe that would be the best,
Maybe then someone else could find
Some love at that address.
Every night it's the same old time,
I leave work at five-o-five, been
Doing my best to forget about her,
But she's driving me out of my mind...
I leave work at five-o-five
Been doing my best to forget about her
But she's driving me out of my mind.
When I get home, I know what I'll find,
How I wish that it wasn't so
There'll be no one there to hold me tonight,
In that house on old lonesome road.
I recall how we laughed
When we read the name
In the paper before we moved in,
After we did our friends all asked
If that house was lonesome back then.
We were so young, our dreams were so new,
There's just no way that we could have known,
The irony of that place where we loved,
That house on Old lonesome road.

And a case of worn out stairs
And just like my old heart they need repair,

Yeah, maybe that would be the best,
Maybe then someone else could find
Some love at that address.

Nobody Can Fill Your Shoes lyrics - Conway Twitty
In this life there's a light only you can shine
Down this road there is gold only you can find
While you're walking down the road of life
There is so much you can do
And nobody can fill you shoes, (nobody) can fill you shoes.
There's a word, we haven't heard, only you can say
You're the friend I might meet along the way
There's a song deep inside your heart no one can sing like you
And nobody can fill you shoes, (nobody) can fill you shoes.
Nobody, (nobody) nobody, (nobody)
Hey nobody, (nobody) can fill your shoes.
While you walking (walking) down this road of life
There's only so much you can do
Nobody, (nobody) nobody, (nobody)
Hey nobody, (nobody) can fill your shoes
Down this road there is gold only you can find
While you're walking down the road of life
There is so much you can do
And nobody can fill you shoes, (nobody) can fill you shoes.
There's a word, we haven't heard, only you can say
You're the friend I might meet along the way
There's a song deep inside your heart no one can sing like you
And nobody can fill you shoes, (nobody) can fill you shoes.
Nobody, (nobody) nobody, (nobody)
Hey nobody, (nobody) can fill your shoes.
While you walking (walking) down this road of life
There's only so much you can do
Nobody, (nobody) nobody, (nobody)
Hey nobody, (nobody) can fill your shoes
Private Part Of My Heart lyrics - Conway Twitty
Operator I'm calling long distance please.
Charge it to my room, 702.
Hello, baby. No there's nothing wrong
You know me when I'm away from you
You see a blue moon hanging
Low outside our window?
And it's hard to sleep with
All of those feelin's around?
Oooh, if I had wings tonight
You could imagine things
I never wanted you more
Than I want you right now.
Lookin' out at the city
It sparkles and it shines
But it holds no fascination
Compared to you.
Save me some long nights
And your wildest dreams
And all of your love
and some of that moon.
Life may take me down
A winding road.
But nothing in this world
Can change my love.
Forever you can believe
you'll always be here with me
In the warmest private part of my heart.
Right here,
In the warmest private part of my heart.
Right here...
Charge it to my room, 702.
Hello, baby. No there's nothing wrong
You know me when I'm away from you
You see a blue moon hanging
Low outside our window?
And it's hard to sleep with
All of those feelin's around?
Oooh, if I had wings tonight
You could imagine things
I never wanted you more
Than I want you right now.
Lookin' out at the city
It sparkles and it shines
But it holds no fascination
Compared to you.
Save me some long nights
And your wildest dreams
And all of your love
and some of that moon.
Life may take me down
A winding road.
But nothing in this world
Can change my love.
Forever you can believe
you'll always be here with me
In the warmest private part of my heart.
Right here,
In the warmest private part of my heart.
Right here...
Child With Child lyrics - Conway Twitty
She was still just a baby in her mama's eyes.
Daddy's little girl only yesterdaym my how time flies.
She learned all about romance from watching TV
And in one night alone with the boy down the street.
Child With Child. Mother to be.
Carryin' a secret she know she can't keep.
Child With Child. Lying awake.
Thinking about all the hearts she will break.
Will her friends all whisper when she passes by?
Will there be shame or love in her daddy's eyes?
She can run from her hometown but she can't run away
From the new life inside her growing each day.
Child With Child. Mother to be.
Carryin' a secret she knows she can't keep.
Child With Child. Lying awake.
Thinking about all the hearts she will break.
She's just a Child With Child...
Daddy's little girl only yesterdaym my how time flies.
She learned all about romance from watching TV
And in one night alone with the boy down the street.
Child With Child. Mother to be.
Carryin' a secret she know she can't keep.
Child With Child. Lying awake.
Thinking about all the hearts she will break.
Will her friends all whisper when she passes by?
Will there be shame or love in her daddy's eyes?
She can run from her hometown but she can't run away
From the new life inside her growing each day.
Child With Child. Mother to be.
Carryin' a secret she knows she can't keep.
Child With Child. Lying awake.
Thinking about all the hearts she will break.
She's just a Child With Child...
Take Me Home To Mama lyrics - Conway Twitty
I want you to take me home to mama
Introduce me to your friends
I want you to take me home to mama
I'm ready to take a chance on love again
I didn't need a lover
I was happy on my own
I didn't want another
Girls are melted for the phone
But since the day I met you
Oh, my attitude has changed
I think I'm gonna let you
Start turning out the flames
Come on and take me home to mama
Introduce me to your friends
I want you to take me home to mama
I'm ready to take a chance on love again
I really want to meet her
I want to raise a doll like you
And tell her that's she's sweeter
Than any other girl I knew
I tell her not to worry
'Cause her baby is in good hands
I don't mean to hurry
But just as soon as you can
I want you to take me home to mama
Introduce me to your friends
Come on and take me home to mama
I'm ready to take a chance on love again
When you started calling
I was just telling time
Then I started fallin'
And here's what's on my mind
I want you to take me home to mama
Introduce me to your friends
Take me home to your mama
I'm ready to take a chance on love again
I'm ready to take a chance on love again
Yeah, I'm ready to take a chance on love again
Introduce me to your friends
I want you to take me home to mama
I'm ready to take a chance on love again
I didn't need a lover
I was happy on my own
I didn't want another
Girls are melted for the phone
But since the day I met you
Oh, my attitude has changed
I think I'm gonna let you
Start turning out the flames
Come on and take me home to mama
Introduce me to your friends
I want you to take me home to mama
I'm ready to take a chance on love again
I really want to meet her
I want to raise a doll like you
And tell her that's she's sweeter
Than any other girl I knew
I tell her not to worry
'Cause her baby is in good hands
I don't mean to hurry
But just as soon as you can
I want you to take me home to mama
Introduce me to your friends
Come on and take me home to mama
I'm ready to take a chance on love again
When you started calling
I was just telling time
Then I started fallin'
And here's what's on my mind
I want you to take me home to mama
Introduce me to your friends
Take me home to your mama
I'm ready to take a chance on love again
I'm ready to take a chance on love again
Yeah, I'm ready to take a chance on love again
Pieces Of You lyrics - Conway Twitty
Pieces of you all scattered around
Pieces of love that's all over now
What can I do? I'll never be free
With pieces of you all over me
There's a letter in the dresser
And a picture in the hall
There's my mem'ry to remind me
And heartaches you left laying wall to wall
Pieces of you all scattered around
There's nothing really left for me to cling to
But these pieces of a dream that fell apart
And living's slowly killing me without you
Not to mention what it's doing to my heart
What can I do? I'll never be free
With pieces of you all over me
Pieces of love that's all over now
What can I do? I'll never be free
With pieces of you all over me
There's a letter in the dresser
And a picture in the hall
There's my mem'ry to remind me
And heartaches you left laying wall to wall
Pieces of you all scattered around
There's nothing really left for me to cling to
But these pieces of a dream that fell apart
And living's slowly killing me without you
Not to mention what it's doing to my heart
What can I do? I'll never be free
With pieces of you all over me
Too White To Sing The Blues lyrics - Conway Twitty
The day i hit this music town looking for a deal.
I was green as government ink on a twenty dollar bill.
I signed a lot of papers. Didn't know what I had to lose.
Make no mistake about it, now,
You can't be too white to sing the blues.
Some folks make it fast down here. Some folks make it slow.
Learning how the hard way taught me everything I know.
When that old highway is your teacher,
A country boy can get confused.
But one thing I know for certain,
You can't be too white to sing the blues.
I've learned how to whistle. I've learned how to lose.
I've walked a mile in everybody's shoes.
Well, you can laugh out loud if you want to.
But you can't be too white to sing the blues.
Someday when I'm old and rich and I don't work no more.
I'm gonna find myself a rockin' chair,
And I'm gonna sit on my front porch.
And as that old sun is settin' a I'm gonna howl at the rising moon.
Well, you can go out rockin' now,
But you can't be too white to sing the blues.
I've learned how to whistle. I've learned how to lose.
I've walked a mile in everybody's shoes.
Well you can laugh out loud if you want to.
But you can't be too white to sing yhe blues.
You can't be too white to sing the blues...
I was green as government ink on a twenty dollar bill.
I signed a lot of papers. Didn't know what I had to lose.
Make no mistake about it, now,
You can't be too white to sing the blues.
Some folks make it fast down here. Some folks make it slow.
Learning how the hard way taught me everything I know.
When that old highway is your teacher,
A country boy can get confused.
But one thing I know for certain,
You can't be too white to sing the blues.
I've learned how to whistle. I've learned how to lose.
I've walked a mile in everybody's shoes.
Well, you can laugh out loud if you want to.
But you can't be too white to sing the blues.
Someday when I'm old and rich and I don't work no more.
I'm gonna find myself a rockin' chair,
And I'm gonna sit on my front porch.
And as that old sun is settin' a I'm gonna howl at the rising moon.
Well, you can go out rockin' now,
But you can't be too white to sing the blues.
I've learned how to whistle. I've learned how to lose.
I've walked a mile in everybody's shoes.
Well you can laugh out loud if you want to.
But you can't be too white to sing yhe blues.
You can't be too white to sing the blues...
(I Wish I Was) Still In Your Dreams lyrics - Conway Twitty
I saw you through a cafe window down on second avenue
The passage of time sure has been good to you
I was tempted for just a moment to run out in the street
But what do you say when two old lovers meet.
You say hello, (hello) how are you
You're doing well it seems.
I wish I was better at bein' alone
I wish I was still in your dreams.
I spent a lot of lonely hours staring at this phone of mine
Knowing your just a heart beat down the line
Once I even dialed your number, but I couldn't let it ring
What do you say to a sweet memory.
You say hello, (hello) how are you
You're doing well it seems.
I wish I was better at bein' alone
I wish I was still in your dreams.
In my favorite fantasy
You're the one who's missing me
It all comes back so easily
When I hear you say.
You say hello, (hello) how are you
You're doing well it seems.
I wish I was better at bein' alone
I wish I was still in your dreams.
I wish I was better at bein' alone
I wish I was still in your dreams...
The passage of time sure has been good to you
I was tempted for just a moment to run out in the street
But what do you say when two old lovers meet.
You say hello, (hello) how are you
You're doing well it seems.
I wish I was better at bein' alone
I wish I was still in your dreams.
I spent a lot of lonely hours staring at this phone of mine
Knowing your just a heart beat down the line
Once I even dialed your number, but I couldn't let it ring
What do you say to a sweet memory.
You say hello, (hello) how are you
You're doing well it seems.
I wish I was better at bein' alone
I wish I was still in your dreams.
In my favorite fantasy
You're the one who's missing me
It all comes back so easily
When I hear you say.
You say hello, (hello) how are you
You're doing well it seems.
I wish I was better at bein' alone
I wish I was still in your dreams.
I wish I was better at bein' alone
I wish I was still in your dreams...
Your Loving Side lyrics - Conway Twitty
You and I have known a love beyond compare
Oh, but lately when we reach out there's nothing there
We seem so far apart, face to face 'cause your faith divide
But I'd do anything to get back on your loving side
To get back on your loving side
To get that tender feeling, feeling right
I'd give my heart to keep our love alive
And be a hero in your blue eyes
To get back on your loving side
Where your life's wrapped up in mine
Whoa, my heart won't be satisfied
Till I get back on your loving side
You know it's a shame
That a little rain put out a fire so strong
Now the chilling truth is the warmth is gone
Whoa, and there's a silence now
Silent words cut deep and wide
And I'll do anything to get back on your loving side
To get back on your loving side
To get that tender feeling, feeling right
I'd give my heart to keep our love alive
And be a hero in your blue eyes
To get back on your loving side
Where your life's wrapped up in mine
Whoa, my heart won't be satisfied
Till I get back on your loving side
Oh, but lately when we reach out there's nothing there
We seem so far apart, face to face 'cause your faith divide
But I'd do anything to get back on your loving side
To get back on your loving side
To get that tender feeling, feeling right
I'd give my heart to keep our love alive
And be a hero in your blue eyes
To get back on your loving side
Where your life's wrapped up in mine
Whoa, my heart won't be satisfied
Till I get back on your loving side
You know it's a shame
That a little rain put out a fire so strong
Now the chilling truth is the warmth is gone
Whoa, and there's a silence now
Silent words cut deep and wide
And I'll do anything to get back on your loving side
To get back on your loving side
To get that tender feeling, feeling right
I'd give my heart to keep our love alive
And be a hero in your blue eyes
To get back on your loving side
Where your life's wrapped up in mine
Whoa, my heart won't be satisfied
Till I get back on your loving side
Goodbye Time lyrics - Conway Twitty
It's your life
You say you need a change
Don't all the dreams we've seen come true
Mean anything
You say, "It's different now"
And you keep starin' at the door
How can you walk away?
Don't I matter anymore
If being free is worth what you leave behind
And if it's too late for love to change your mind
Then it's goodbye time
If we had known
Our love would come to this
We could have saved our hearts the hurt
Of wasted years
"Well it's been fun"
What else can I say
If the feeling's gone
Words won't stop you anyway
If being free is worth what you leave behind
And if it's too late for love to change your mind
Then it's goodbye time
You say you need a change
Don't all the dreams we've seen come true
Mean anything
You say, "It's different now"
And you keep starin' at the door
How can you walk away?
Don't I matter anymore
If being free is worth what you leave behind
And if it's too late for love to change your mind
Then it's goodbye time
If we had known
Our love would come to this
We could have saved our hearts the hurt
Of wasted years
"Well it's been fun"
What else can I say
If the feeling's gone
Words won't stop you anyway
If being free is worth what you leave behind
And if it's too late for love to change your mind
Then it's goodbye time
If You Were Mine To Lose lyrics - Conway Twitty
If you were mine to lose, I'd gladly let you go
'Cause that would mean you once belonged to me
I'd gladly face the heartache of losing you some day
'Cause then at least I'd have a memory.
Through all the years I've known you, You've never noticed me
Just a friend that's all I've been to you
I'd gladly let you break my heart for just one memory
Just to know that you were mine to lose.
If I could only hold you just one time
For one short moment heaven would be mine
If you were mine to lose I'd gladly let you go
Just to know that you were mine to lose.
If you were mine to lose I'd gladly let you go
Just to know that you were mine to lose...
'Cause that would mean you once belonged to me
I'd gladly face the heartache of losing you some day
'Cause then at least I'd have a memory.
Through all the years I've known you, You've never noticed me
Just a friend that's all I've been to you
I'd gladly let you break my heart for just one memory
Just to know that you were mine to lose.
If I could only hold you just one time
For one short moment heaven would be mine
If you were mine to lose I'd gladly let you go
Just to know that you were mine to lose.
If you were mine to lose I'd gladly let you go
Just to know that you were mine to lose...
Throwing Good Love After Bad lyrics - Conway Twitty
By now, others would have quit
Thrown the towel in, and admit
It's over
And, maybe I will yet
Cause, your love couldn't get
Any colder.
Still, somehow, I can't stop believing
One day, we'll again have what we had
Though I should find someone new
I keep on loving you
Throwing good love after bad.
I watched you as you changed
As your love grew as strange
As your kisses
And, the more and more it hurt
I thought it couldn't get no worse
Ah, but it is.
Anybody else would stop and find another
Face the truth, and never once look back
And, I pray someday I will
But, as it is, I'm still
Throwing good love after bad.
I know somewhere, somebody out there's waitin' for me
With just as good a love as I have
And, someday, that love I'll find
And, I'll stop wasting mine
Throwing good love after bad.
And, someday that love I'll find
And, I'll stop wasting mine
Throwing good love after bad...
Thrown the towel in, and admit
It's over
And, maybe I will yet
Cause, your love couldn't get
Any colder.
Still, somehow, I can't stop believing
One day, we'll again have what we had
Though I should find someone new
I keep on loving you
Throwing good love after bad.
I watched you as you changed
As your love grew as strange
As your kisses
And, the more and more it hurt
I thought it couldn't get no worse
Ah, but it is.
Anybody else would stop and find another
Face the truth, and never once look back
And, I pray someday I will
But, as it is, I'm still
Throwing good love after bad.
I know somewhere, somebody out there's waitin' for me
With just as good a love as I have
And, someday, that love I'll find
And, I'll stop wasting mine
Throwing good love after bad.
And, someday that love I'll find
And, I'll stop wasting mine
Throwing good love after bad...
Saturday Night Special lyrics - Conway Twitty
Well, I was there to buy a pistol
She was there to hauck her ring
The broker in the pawnshop
Deals in almost anything.
He'll pay you for your misery
Or he'll sell you someone's pain
And that twinkle in his greedy eye
Says your loss will be his gain.
She stood back in the shadows
As the broker dealt with me
Her eyes were dark and desperate
From some private misery.
His words were so prophetic
When he said you got a steal
I said throw in one bullet
And you got yourself a deal.
Oh, a Saturday night special
Is an easy thing to buy
All you got to be is twenty-one
Or fifteen if you lie.
Just hand the man money
And if some ones gotta die
The broker in the pawnshop
Won't even blink an eye.
Well, he handed me the pistol
And I was almost to the door
When I heard him tell the lady
Seven dollars nothing more.
The lady started crying
As he took her wedding band
Well, my hand was in my pocket
And the gun was in my hand.
I was gonna use that bullet
To end my life
I was once somebody's husband
She was once somebody's wife.
Well, I usually mind my business
But I could not walk away
His dollars just weren't making sense
And I knew I had to stay.
Well, the broker's face turned pasty
When he caught my icy stare
It would never leave my pocket
But he knew the gun was there.
I asked him what his life was worth
And he opened up that drawer
For a simple golden wedding band
He paid $2000 more.
That Saturday night was special
Even though it wasn't planned
As we walked down the sidewalk
She reached and took my hand.
We crossed the bridge and I took that gun
And sailed it through the air
I said, "Ever been to Texas?"
She said, "I think I'd love it there."
Oh, a Saturday night special
Is an easy thing to buy
All you got to be is twenty-one
Or fifteen if you lie
But there's a pawnshop in the city
That used to deal in everything
Ha, but you can't buy a pistol there,
You cant hawk your wedding ring...
She was there to hauck her ring
The broker in the pawnshop
Deals in almost anything.
He'll pay you for your misery
Or he'll sell you someone's pain
And that twinkle in his greedy eye
Says your loss will be his gain.
She stood back in the shadows
As the broker dealt with me
Her eyes were dark and desperate
From some private misery.
His words were so prophetic
When he said you got a steal
I said throw in one bullet
And you got yourself a deal.
Oh, a Saturday night special
Is an easy thing to buy
All you got to be is twenty-one
Or fifteen if you lie.
Just hand the man money
And if some ones gotta die

Won't even blink an eye.
Well, he handed me the pistol

And the gun was in my hand.

I Don't Remember Going Crazy lyrics - Conway Twitty
I walked in and there you sat
I wanted you; there was no holding back
Those innocent eyes, the way you laughed
You touched me I seem to remember that.
But I don't remember going crazy
Somehow I lost control
What was that song they were playing?
I remember dancing slow and I was holding you so tightly
Some thing I just had to do
I don't remember going crazy, but I did for you.
No secrets, no room for lies
We shared so much in so little time
That's why they say love is blind
It was the last thing on my mind.
But I don't remember going crazy
Somehow I lost control
What was that song they were playing?
I remember dancing slow and I was holding you so tightly
Some thing I just had to do
I don't remember going crazy, but I did for you...
I wanted you; there was no holding back
Those innocent eyes, the way you laughed
You touched me I seem to remember that.
But I don't remember going crazy
Somehow I lost control
What was that song they were playing?
I remember dancing slow and I was holding you so tightly
Some thing I just had to do
I don't remember going crazy, but I did for you.
No secrets, no room for lies
We shared so much in so little time
That's why they say love is blind
It was the last thing on my mind.
But I don't remember going crazy
Somehow I lost control
What was that song they were playing?
I remember dancing slow and I was holding you so tightly
Some thing I just had to do
I don't remember going crazy, but I did for you...
They Only Come Out At Night lyrics - Conway Twitty
I've seen you out with your in crowd
Holdin' somebody and laughin' loud
That was me, you know
Whose eyes were burning through you
Someone rings you late at night
But no one says hello at the end of your line
That was me, you know
Breathing warm in your ear
All day, I do fine
Those sweet old memories never cross my mind
Oh, they only come out at night
When you look out your window and it's three o' clock
Some fool's ridin' round and round your block
That's me, you know
Driving myself crazy
And when you hear a rustle or the back door squeak
Turn off the lights and go back to sleep
That's me, you know
Haunted by what used to be
All day, I do fine
Those sweet old memories never cross my mind
Oh, they only come out at night
All day, I do fine
Those sweet old memories never cross my mind
Oh, they only come out at night
Oh, they only come out at night
Holdin' somebody and laughin' loud
That was me, you know
Whose eyes were burning through you
Someone rings you late at night
But no one says hello at the end of your line
That was me, you know
Breathing warm in your ear
All day, I do fine
Those sweet old memories never cross my mind
Oh, they only come out at night
When you look out your window and it's three o' clock
Some fool's ridin' round and round your block
That's me, you know
Driving myself crazy
And when you hear a rustle or the back door squeak
Turn off the lights and go back to sleep
That's me, you know
Haunted by what used to be
All day, I do fine
Those sweet old memories never cross my mind
Oh, they only come out at night
All day, I do fine
Those sweet old memories never cross my mind
Oh, they only come out at night
Oh, they only come out at night
Jenny's Souvenirs lyrics - Conway Twitty
Exchanging, yes, I do's
Forever's coming true
Two needing hearts unite
Captured in black and white
Gathered on yellowed walls
Sixty years says it all
The loving, the laughter, still after years
Are kept alive in Jenny's souvenirs
Tickets from picture shows
Dried roses, Christmas bows
Keepsakes from country fairs
Stocked up her vintage wears
She'd never throw them out
Things they could live without
He'd kid her and tell her, "You're silly, dear"
And he would laugh at Jenny's souvenirs
Shines on his shaking hand
That ageless wedding band
Reminds him and finds him without her near
And now he lives on Jenny's souvenirs
He gets by on Jenny's souvenirs
Forever's coming true
Two needing hearts unite
Captured in black and white
Gathered on yellowed walls
Sixty years says it all
The loving, the laughter, still after years
Are kept alive in Jenny's souvenirs
Tickets from picture shows
Dried roses, Christmas bows
Keepsakes from country fairs
Stocked up her vintage wears
She'd never throw them out
Things they could live without
He'd kid her and tell her, "You're silly, dear"
And he would laugh at Jenny's souvenirs
Shines on his shaking hand
That ageless wedding band
Reminds him and finds him without her near
And now he lives on Jenny's souvenirs
He gets by on Jenny's souvenirs
Julia lyrics - Conway Twitty
You were always there for me, Julia.
I was so afraid to fall in love.
I thought you'd wait for me,
Is it too late for me now?
Have you given up?
How it must have hurt you, Julia.
Waitin' for your love to be returned.
I never knew how.
What can I do now that I
Have finally learned?
I never thought that love could hurt me,
Now I tremble at the thought of losing you.
And all the perfect words desert me now,
Just in case it matters,
I love you.
May I have this dance with you, Julia?
Won't you let me hold you one more time?
The music is over,
But I'll hold you closer this time, Julia.
Julia.
I was so afraid to fall in love.
I thought you'd wait for me,
Is it too late for me now?
Have you given up?
How it must have hurt you, Julia.
Waitin' for your love to be returned.
I never knew how.
What can I do now that I
Have finally learned?
I never thought that love could hurt me,
Now I tremble at the thought of losing you.
And all the perfect words desert me now,
Just in case it matters,
I love you.
May I have this dance with you, Julia?
Won't you let me hold you one more time?
The music is over,
But I'll hold you closer this time, Julia.
Julia.
Lonely Town lyrics - Conway Twitty
She gave into him last night
She thought he was Mr. Right
But he left like all the others
Before the morning came around
Same old story in lonely town
The sun comes up, the heart goes down
She's tried everything she knows
Come so far and yet so close
She keeps searching for the magic
But it's nowhere to be found
But that's how it is in lonely town
The sun comes up, the heart goes down
There's got to be a way out
Someday she'll find it, she won't always be alone
The one she's been waitin' for
Will turn her life around and take her away
From this lonely town
The sun comes up, the heart goes down
There's got to be a way out
Someday she'll find it, she won't always be alone
The one she's been waitin' for
Will turn her life around and take her away
From this lonely town
Where the sun comes up, the heart goes down
No more living in this lonely town
She thought he was Mr. Right
But he left like all the others
Before the morning came around
Same old story in lonely town
The sun comes up, the heart goes down
She's tried everything she knows
Come so far and yet so close
She keeps searching for the magic
But it's nowhere to be found
But that's how it is in lonely town
The sun comes up, the heart goes down
There's got to be a way out
Someday she'll find it, she won't always be alone
The one she's been waitin' for
Will turn her life around and take her away
From this lonely town
The sun comes up, the heart goes down
There's got to be a way out
Someday she'll find it, she won't always be alone
The one she's been waitin' for
Will turn her life around and take her away
From this lonely town
Where the sun comes up, the heart goes down
No more living in this lonely town
I Want To Know You Before We Make Love lyrics - Conway Twitty
Sometimes all you need is someone to hold you
Sometimes that's all you're looking for
I'd like to take the time to get to know you
I don't want this time to be like all the times before.
I want to hold you before I make love to you
I want to show you all of my heart
And when I look into your eyes
I want to feel the love inside, you
I want to know you before we make love.
I've learned from all those lonely nights with strangers
It takes time for real love to be found
I feel the invitation of your body
I'd like to look inside your soul before I lay you down.
I want to hold you before I make love to you
I want to show you all of my heart
And when I look into your eyes
I want to feel the love inside, you
I want to know you before we make love.
I want to hold you before I make love to you
I want to show you all of my heart
And when I look into those eyes
I want to feel the love inside, you
I want to know you before we make
Before we make, love...
Sometimes that's all you're looking for
I'd like to take the time to get to know you
I don't want this time to be like all the times before.
I want to hold you before I make love to you
I want to show you all of my heart
And when I look into your eyes
I want to feel the love inside, you
I want to know you before we make love.
I've learned from all those lonely nights with strangers
It takes time for real love to be found
I feel the invitation of your body
I'd like to look inside your soul before I lay you down.
I want to hold you before I make love to you
I want to show you all of my heart
And when I look into your eyes
I want to feel the love inside, you
I want to know you before we make love.
I want to hold you before I make love to you
I want to show you all of my heart
And when I look into those eyes
I want to feel the love inside, you
I want to know you before we make
Before we make, love...
Borderline lyrics - Conway Twitty
A man can only last so long.
Before temptation gets too strong.
But I'm doin' all I know to do.
To try and stay away from you.
But I'm right on the Borderline.
You know I got a woman at home.
That I sure hate to leave alone.
But still you just keep comin' on
Like I'm not made of flesh and bone.
You got me right on the Borderline.
Borderline. Don't let me cross over.
She's right behind me in the moonlight.
Lord knows, I've tried to think of my lover.
Borderline. Don't let me cross her tonight.
Promises are easy made.
In the heat of passion, light of day.
But let that daylight start to fade
And your best laid plans might get mis-layed.
When you're right on the Borderline.
Borderline. Don't let me cross over.
She's right behind me in the moonlight.
Lord knows, I've tried to think of my lover.
Borderline. Don't let me cross her tonight.
Borderline. Don't let me cross her tonight.
Borderline. Don't let me cross her tonight...
Before temptation gets too strong.
But I'm doin' all I know to do.
To try and stay away from you.
But I'm right on the Borderline.
You know I got a woman at home.
That I sure hate to leave alone.
But still you just keep comin' on
Like I'm not made of flesh and bone.
You got me right on the Borderline.
Borderline. Don't let me cross over.
She's right behind me in the moonlight.
Lord knows, I've tried to think of my lover.
Borderline. Don't let me cross her tonight.
Promises are easy made.
In the heat of passion, light of day.
But let that daylight start to fade
And your best laid plans might get mis-layed.
When you're right on the Borderline.
Borderline. Don't let me cross over.
She's right behind me in the moonlight.
Lord knows, I've tried to think of my lover.
Borderline. Don't let me cross her tonight.
Borderline. Don't let me cross her tonight.
Borderline. Don't let me cross her tonight...
Not Enough Love To Go 'round lyrics - Conway Twitty
You know I've always tried
To never take love for granted
As you know. 'Cause if you ever
Said goodbye why, I just don't know
What I'd ever do with out you. baby.
Well, all of the friends we know
Are lettin' each other go, there own way
Will they ever find love again
Or will the whole world end up lonely?
Cause baby, just as sure as that old sun'll go down
Somewhere tonight you'll hear a heart breakin' sound
Maybe this'll be a lonely old town
If there's not enough love to go 'round.
Sometimes it's just a little hard
To keep a love like ours together.
But I promise you one thing, girl
No matter what, I'm gonna love you forever.
All up and down street
Are people who really need each other
And only a lucky few
Learn how to hold onto each other.
Cause baby, just as sure as that old sun'll go down
Somewhere tonight you'll hear a heart breakin' sound
Maybe this'll be a lonely old town
If there's not enough love to go 'round.
Maybe this'll be a lonely old town
If there's not enough love to go 'round
To never take love for granted
As you know. 'Cause if you ever
Said goodbye why, I just don't know
What I'd ever do with out you. baby.
Well, all of the friends we know
Are lettin' each other go, there own way
Will they ever find love again
Or will the whole world end up lonely?
Cause baby, just as sure as that old sun'll go down
Somewhere tonight you'll hear a heart breakin' sound
Maybe this'll be a lonely old town
If there's not enough love to go 'round.
Sometimes it's just a little hard
To keep a love like ours together.
But I promise you one thing, girl
No matter what, I'm gonna love you forever.
All up and down street
Are people who really need each other
And only a lucky few
Learn how to hold onto each other.
Cause baby, just as sure as that old sun'll go down
Somewhere tonight you'll hear a heart breakin' sound
Maybe this'll be a lonely old town
If there's not enough love to go 'round.
Maybe this'll be a lonely old town
If there's not enough love to go 'round
Snake Boots lyrics - Conway Twitty
Well, I was working this joint in Dallas
To make the payment on my car
Just a weekend stand with a local band
They had me playin' rhythm guitar.
Well, I was singin' some old cheatin' song
When this blue-eyed blonde came by
She said, I'm a table over in the corner
Why don't you drop around and say hi
So, I did.
Well, she was dressed like a million dollars
But she was way up outta my class
She whispered into my ear, honey I hear
A honky tonk man moves fast.
All of the sudden my body went numb
I had enough sense to see
That everything I ever wanted in life
Was coming to easy for me.
So I said, "Wait just a minute,
Wait, just a cotton-pickin' minute."
You better not get caught in the desert
Without your snake boots on
You don't lay down on the railroad tracks
'Til after the train is gone.
You don't swim out in deep water
With your pockets full of stone
You don't get caught in the desert, son,
Without your snake boots on.
Well, she was quicker that a boys good judgment
So, we were headed for the parkin' lot
When a guy in the band said, "Wait a minute, man
Lord, are you crazy or what?"
"Well, ole big bad Tex is her lover
And, he's terribly skilled with a knife
He's real particular 'bout who rides his horse
And, nobody fools with his wife."
So, I said, "Wait just a minute,
Wait just a dang minute."
You better not get caught in the desert
Without your snake boots on
You don't lay down on the railroad tracks
'Til after the train is gone.
You don't swim out in deep water
With your pockets full of stone
You don't get caught in the desert, nah,
Without your snake boots on.
You don't get caught in the desert, son,
Without your snake boots on.
Hey, watch out for that snake
To make the payment on my car
Just a weekend stand with a local band
They had me playin' rhythm guitar.
Well, I was singin' some old cheatin' song
When this blue-eyed blonde came by
She said, I'm a table over in the corner
Why don't you drop around and say hi
So, I did.
Well, she was dressed like a million dollars
But she was way up outta my class
She whispered into my ear, honey I hear
A honky tonk man moves fast.
All of the sudden my body went numb
I had enough sense to see
That everything I ever wanted in life
Was coming to easy for me.
So I said, "Wait just a minute,
Wait, just a cotton-pickin' minute."
You better not get caught in the desert
Without your snake boots on
You don't lay down on the railroad tracks
'Til after the train is gone.
You don't swim out in deep water
With your pockets full of stone
You don't get caught in the desert, son,
Without your snake boots on.
Well, she was quicker that a boys good judgment
So, we were headed for the parkin' lot
When a guy in the band said, "Wait a minute, man
Lord, are you crazy or what?"
"Well, ole big bad Tex is her lover
And, he's terribly skilled with a knife
He's real particular 'bout who rides his horse
And, nobody fools with his wife."
So, I said, "Wait just a minute,
Wait just a dang minute."
You better not get caught in the desert
Without your snake boots on
You don't lay down on the railroad tracks
'Til after the train is gone.
You don't swim out in deep water
With your pockets full of stone
You don't get caught in the desert, nah,
Without your snake boots on.
You don't get caught in the desert, son,
Without your snake boots on.
Hey, watch out for that snake
I'm For Awhile lyrics - Conway Twitty
I don't want our love to be like a song,
Just long enough to hang a memory on.
I want tomorrow's sunrise to be,
for us the dawn of history.
I'm not a one night rider,
Bed and breakfast ain't my style.
I'm for awhile.
Here today, here tomorrow.
Here when the babies are grown,
Believe you me, in the 21st century,
you'll still have me for your own.
Trying to make you smile,
I'm for awhile.
I guess you could say
I'm coming on to you,
But it's a long term proposition.
I'm here to love you
And love should be forever,
Please understand my positon.
I'm not much like the lone ranger,
Disappearing ain't my style.
I'm for awhile.
Here today, here tomorrow.
Here when the babies are grown,
Believe you me,
In the 21st century,
You'll still have me for your own,
Trying to make you smile
I'm for awhile.
I don't want our love to be like a song,
Just long enough to hang a memory on...
Just long enough to hang a memory on.
I want tomorrow's sunrise to be,
for us the dawn of history.
I'm not a one night rider,
Bed and breakfast ain't my style.
I'm for awhile.
Here today, here tomorrow.
Here when the babies are grown,
Believe you me, in the 21st century,
you'll still have me for your own.
Trying to make you smile,
I'm for awhile.
I guess you could say
I'm coming on to you,
But it's a long term proposition.
I'm here to love you
And love should be forever,
Please understand my positon.
I'm not much like the lone ranger,
Disappearing ain't my style.
I'm for awhile.
Here today, here tomorrow.
Here when the babies are grown,
Believe you me,
In the 21st century,
You'll still have me for your own,
Trying to make you smile
I'm for awhile.
I don't want our love to be like a song,
Just long enough to hang a memory on...
Fifteen To Forty-Three lyrics - Conway Twitty
I just cut the string
On a dusty old shoe box
And opened a door to the past
Now I'm sittin' here with my souvenirs
And these faded old photographs.
Fightin' back tears
Lookin' back through the years
And wonderin' why dreams fade so fast
Now the young boy I see
Don't look like the me
Reflected in this old looking glass.
The man in the mirror
Sees things so much clearer
Than the boy in the pictures
With his eyes full of dreams
Oh, the men that I've tried to be
From fifteen to forty-three
Never believed that they'd end up like me.
There's that touchdown I caught
Back when I thought
I'd play for the cowboys someday
There's you holding me in my faded fatigues
Comin' home to the U.S.A.
One after another
All my sweet dreams and lovers
Pass before my tear filled eyes
Pictures of a fool
Who was selfish and cruel
Till the day he made you say goodbye.
The man in the mirror
Sees things so much clearer
Than the boy in the pictures
With his eyes full of dreams
Oh the men that I've tried to be
From fifteen to forty-three
Never believed that they'd end up like me.
Oh, I never believed I'd be lonely like me...
On a dusty old shoe box
And opened a door to the past
Now I'm sittin' here with my souvenirs
And these faded old photographs.
Fightin' back tears
Lookin' back through the years
And wonderin' why dreams fade so fast
Now the young boy I see
Don't look like the me
Reflected in this old looking glass.
The man in the mirror
Sees things so much clearer
Than the boy in the pictures
With his eyes full of dreams
Oh, the men that I've tried to be
From fifteen to forty-three
Never believed that they'd end up like me.
There's that touchdown I caught
Back when I thought
I'd play for the cowboys someday
There's you holding me in my faded fatigues
Comin' home to the U.S.A.
One after another
All my sweet dreams and lovers
Pass before my tear filled eyes
Pictures of a fool
Who was selfish and cruel
Till the day he made you say goodbye.
The man in the mirror
Sees things so much clearer
Than the boy in the pictures
With his eyes full of dreams
Oh the men that I've tried to be
From fifteen to forty-three
Never believed that they'd end up like me.
Oh, I never believed I'd be lonely like me...
That's My Job lyrics - Conway Twitty
I woke up cryin' late at night when I was very young
I had dreamed my father had passed away and gone
My world revolved around him, I couldn't lie there anymore
So I made my way down the mirrored hall
And tapped upon his door
And I said, "Daddy, I'm so afraid
How will I go on, with you gone that way?
Don't wanna cry anymore so may I stay with you?"
And he said, "That's my job, that's what I do
Everything I do is because of you
To keep you safe with me, that's my job, you see."
Later we barely got along, this teenage boy and he
Most of the fights it seems were over different dreams
We each held for me
He wanted knowledge and learning, I wanted to fly out west
I said, "I could make it out there if I just had the fare
I got half, will you loan me the rest?"
And I said, "Daddy, I'm so afraid
There's no guarantee in the plans I've made
And if I should fail, who will pay my way back home?"
And he said, "That's my job, that's what I do
Everything I do is because of you
To keep you safe with me, that's my job, you see."
Every person carves his spot and fills the hole with life
And I pray someday I might light as bright as he
Woke up early one bright fall day to spread the tragic news
After all my travel, I settled down within a mile or two
I make my livin' with words and rhymes and all this tragedy
Should go into my head and out instead as bits of poetry
But I say, "Daddy I'm so afraid
How will I go on with you gone this way?
How can I come up with a song to say, I love you?"
"That's my job, that's what I do
Everything I do is because of you
To keep you safe with me, that's my job, you see."
"Everything I do is because of you
To keep you safe with me."
I had dreamed my father had passed away and gone
My world revolved around him, I couldn't lie there anymore
So I made my way down the mirrored hall
And tapped upon his door
And I said, "Daddy, I'm so afraid
How will I go on, with you gone that way?
Don't wanna cry anymore so may I stay with you?"
And he said, "That's my job, that's what I do

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

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

Always be a stayin' beside me.
Use to be my life was
Just emotions passing by.
Feeling all the while
But never really knowing why.
Baby, I'm a-want you and
Baby, I'm a-need you.

Used to be my life was
Just emotions passing by.
Feeling all the while

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

'Cause a Stetson hat and those fancy boots

Don't call him a cowboy
Until you've seen him ride...
