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

Don't Mess Up A Good Thing lyrics - Conway Twitty
(Good thing, good thing, good thing, good thing)
Well, you been cheatin' on me
Big day you know I know it's true
But there ain't nobody in the whole wide world
Could love you like I do.
Don't be no fool (don't you be no fool)

And there's gonna be, but a little while
Baby, before you cut me down.
Don't be no fool (don't you be no fool)
Don't be no fool (don't you be no fool)

Loves Not Where Love Should Be lyrics - Conway Twitty
In the past few months all lies have changed
We no longer speak each other's name
We turned around and love was gone
We don't even know what went wrong.
We've been blinded by time
You lived your life and I lived mine
Much too late now we see
Love's not where love should be.
We worked so hard to build a home
I guess we thought that love grew on and on
If we had worked this hard on you and me
Love would be where love supposed to be.
We've been blinded by time
You lived your life and I lived mine
Much too late now we see
Love's not where love should be.
Love's not where love should be...
We no longer speak each other's name
We turned around and love was gone
We don't even know what went wrong.
We've been blinded by time
You lived your life and I lived mine
Much too late now we see
Love's not where love should be.
We worked so hard to build a home
I guess we thought that love grew on and on
If we had worked this hard on you and me
Love would be where love supposed to be.
We've been blinded by time
You lived your life and I lived mine
Much too late now we see
Love's not where love should be.
Love's not where love should be...
Two Lonely People lyrics - Conway Twitty
Darlin' where did all the time go it's two a.m. again
It's time to leave each other's arms and the lyin' to begin
The love would fill you and me with them we'll never find
We're just two lonely people in a loving frame of mind.
We're just two lonely people that need the love we found
I'm not man enough to let you go but I just can't put her down
Two lonely people the same need the same time
We're just two lonely people in a loving frame of mind.
Two lonely people with too much love too late
Too much to lose anyway we choosed to ever separate
So we'll pretend we'll love and then love would plan another time
We're just two lonely people in a loving frame of mind.
Two lonely people with too much love too late
Too much to lose anyway we choosed to ever separate
So we'll pretend we'll love and then love would plan another time
We're just two lonely people in a loving frame of mind...
It's time to leave each other's arms and the lyin' to begin
The love would fill you and me with them we'll never find
We're just two lonely people in a loving frame of mind.
We're just two lonely people that need the love we found
I'm not man enough to let you go but I just can't put her down
Two lonely people the same need the same time
We're just two lonely people in a loving frame of mind.
Two lonely people with too much love too late
Too much to lose anyway we choosed to ever separate
So we'll pretend we'll love and then love would plan another time
We're just two lonely people in a loving frame of mind.
Two lonely people with too much love too late
Too much to lose anyway we choosed to ever separate
So we'll pretend we'll love and then love would plan another time
We're just two lonely people in a loving frame of mind...
I Changed My Way lyrics - Conway Twitty
Today the thought of leaving you wandered through my mind
And all the sleeping memories that we made
I've thought about the love we knew that one day upped and died
It wasn't even strong enough to fade.
Soon as I am strong enough I pull myself away
Your little love mean long enough and hurt me anyway
Then you come to me and stay and love me
One more time I changed my mind.
I've been good and true to you but you don't even care
I'd be better off if you just turn and gone
But then I've thought of losin' you is more than I can bear
Yes I am too weak to make it on my own.
Soon as I am strong enough I pull myself away
Your little love mean long enough and hurt me anyway
Then you come to me and stay and love me
One more time I changed my mind...
I changed my mind
And all the sleeping memories that we made
I've thought about the love we knew that one day upped and died
It wasn't even strong enough to fade.
Soon as I am strong enough I pull myself away
Your little love mean long enough and hurt me anyway
Then you come to me and stay and love me
One more time I changed my mind.
I've been good and true to you but you don't even care
I'd be better off if you just turn and gone
But then I've thought of losin' you is more than I can bear
Yes I am too weak to make it on my own.
Soon as I am strong enough I pull myself away
Your little love mean long enough and hurt me anyway
Then you come to me and stay and love me
One more time I changed my mind...
I changed my mind
Country Bumpkin lyrics - Conway Twitty
He walked into the bar
And parked his lanky frame
Upon a tall bar stool
With a long soft southern drawl
Said, I'll just have a glass of anything that's cool.
A barroom girl with wise and knowing eyes
Slowly looked me up and down
And she said, I wonder how on earth
That country bumpkin found his way to town.
And she said, Hello, country bumpkin,
How's the frost out on the pumpkin.
I've seen some sights but man you're somethin',
Where'd you come from country bumpkin?
Just a short year later in a bed of joy
Filled tears and death like pain
Into this wondrous world of many wonders
Another wonder came
That same woman's face was wrapped up
In a raptured look of love and tenderness
As I marvelled at the soft and warm
And cuddly boy child feeding at her breast.
And she said, Hello, country bumpkin,
Fresh as frost out on the pumpkins
I've seen some sights but babe you're somethin',
Mommy loves her country bumpkin.
Forty years of hard work later
In a simple, quiet and peaceful country place
The heavy hand of time had not erased
The raptured wonder from my woman's face.
She was lying on her death bed
Knowing fully well her race was nearly run
But she softly smiled and looked into
The sad eyes of her husband and her son.
And I said, So long country bumpkins,
The frost is gone now from the pumpkins,
I've seem some sights and life's been somethin'
See you later country bumpkins.
See you later country bumpkins...
And parked his lanky frame
Upon a tall bar stool
With a long soft southern drawl
Said, I'll just have a glass of anything that's cool.
A barroom girl with wise and knowing eyes
Slowly looked me up and down
And she said, I wonder how on earth
That country bumpkin found his way to town.
And she said, Hello, country bumpkin,
How's the frost out on the pumpkin.
I've seen some sights but man you're somethin',
Where'd you come from country bumpkin?
Just a short year later in a bed of joy
Filled tears and death like pain
Into this wondrous world of many wonders
Another wonder came
That same woman's face was wrapped up
In a raptured look of love and tenderness
As I marvelled at the soft and warm
And cuddly boy child feeding at her breast.
And she said, Hello, country bumpkin,
Fresh as frost out on the pumpkins
I've seen some sights but babe you're somethin',
Mommy loves her country bumpkin.
Forty years of hard work later
In a simple, quiet and peaceful country place
The heavy hand of time had not erased
The raptured wonder from my woman's face.
She was lying on her death bed
Knowing fully well her race was nearly run
But she softly smiled and looked into
The sad eyes of her husband and her son.
And I said, So long country bumpkins,
The frost is gone now from the pumpkins,
I've seem some sights and life's been somethin'
See you later country bumpkins.
See you later country bumpkins...
Spiders And Snakes lyrics - Conway Twitty
I remember when Loretta Lynn said ,
You want to walk me home again
And I said, mhm yes I do.
And she said, Well I don't want to go right home
And I'm the kind that don't want to be alone
If you would I would too.
Ha, ha and so we took a stroll
And wound down by a swimmin' hole
And she said do what you wonna do, I don't care
Mhm, I got silly and I found me a frog
In the water by a holler log
And I said Loretta this frog's for you.
I don't like spiders and snakes
And that ain't what it takes
To love me like I want you to
I don't like spiders and snakes
and that ain't what it takes to love me
Like I wanna be loved by you.
Well, I think of that girl from time to time
And I phone up when I got me dime
And I say, Hello baby, ain't you cool
Ha, ha she said, Do you remember when
And you like to get together again
If you do hey, I see I'm just cool.
Ha, ha Well I am shy and so for awhile
Most of my lovin' was tough and smile
Till she said come on over here, I don't care
Mhm mhm I would never say you might guess
Still lookin' for somethin' but a sneak out of dress
And she said... ha ha ha.
Yeah, I don't like spiders and snakes
And that ain't what it takes
To love me like I want you to
I don't like spiders and snakes
and that ain't what it takes to love me
Like I wanna be loved by you...
You want to walk me home again
And I said, mhm yes I do.
And she said, Well I don't want to go right home
And I'm the kind that don't want to be alone
If you would I would too.
Ha, ha and so we took a stroll
And wound down by a swimmin' hole
And she said do what you wonna do, I don't care
Mhm, I got silly and I found me a frog
In the water by a holler log
And I said Loretta this frog's for you.
I don't like spiders and snakes
And that ain't what it takes
To love me like I want you to
I don't like spiders and snakes
and that ain't what it takes to love me
Like I wanna be loved by you.
Well, I think of that girl from time to time
And I phone up when I got me dime
And I say, Hello baby, ain't you cool
Ha, ha she said, Do you remember when
And you like to get together again
If you do hey, I see I'm just cool.
Ha, ha Well I am shy and so for awhile
Most of my lovin' was tough and smile
Till she said come on over here, I don't care
Mhm mhm I would never say you might guess
Still lookin' for somethin' but a sneak out of dress
And she said... ha ha ha.
Yeah, I don't like spiders and snakes
And that ain't what it takes
To love me like I want you to
I don't like spiders and snakes
and that ain't what it takes to love me
Like I wanna be loved by you...
I'm Gettin' Tired Of Losing You lyrics - Conway Twitty
Well, here you are again just like
So many times before down on your knees
You make a promise just like you've made
And never kept before to me.
You're tellin' me you're sorry
for the things you say you didn't mean to do
But old friend you'd better make it
because I'm gettin' tired of losing you.
I've lost you to the booze and bars
and uptown girls a dozen times before
For years I've tried to fake it
but I ain't a gonna take it anymore.
Though I hoped that you'll rehearse your line
You're gonna say and pray it will come true
'Cause there won't be no next time
buddy I'm gettin' tired of losing you.
But darling please please don't leave me
I know I did you wrong before
just like you said I would.
Oh darling please please believe me
If you'll take me back just one more time
I promise I'll be good.
Well, here you are again just like
So many times before down on your knees
You make a promise just like you've made
And never kept before to me...
So many times before down on your knees
You make a promise just like you've made
And never kept before to me.
You're tellin' me you're sorry
for the things you say you didn't mean to do
But old friend you'd better make it
because I'm gettin' tired of losing you.
I've lost you to the booze and bars
and uptown girls a dozen times before
For years I've tried to fake it
but I ain't a gonna take it anymore.
Though I hoped that you'll rehearse your line
You're gonna say and pray it will come true
'Cause there won't be no next time
buddy I'm gettin' tired of losing you.
But darling please please don't leave me
I know I did you wrong before
just like you said I would.
Oh darling please please believe me
If you'll take me back just one more time
I promise I'll be good.
Well, here you are again just like
So many times before down on your knees
You make a promise just like you've made
And never kept before to me...
Sweet Things I Remember About You lyrics - Conway Twitty
The softness of your warm red lips
The gentle touch of your fingertips
Are just sweet things I remember about you
That happy look deep in your eyes
The way you kiss and the way you sigh
Are just sweet things I remember about you.
I could tell you a million things you do
That haunt me night and day
For I get so lonely darling every moment you're away
The way you smoke your cigarette
The way I tingled when we first met
Are just just sweet things I remember about you.
I could tell you a million things you do
That haunt me night and day
For I get so lonely darling every moment you're away
The way you smoke your cigarette
The way I tingled when we first met
Are just just sweet things I remember about you...
The gentle touch of your fingertips
Are just sweet things I remember about you
That happy look deep in your eyes
The way you kiss and the way you sigh
Are just sweet things I remember about you.
I could tell you a million things you do
That haunt me night and day
For I get so lonely darling every moment you're away
The way you smoke your cigarette
The way I tingled when we first met
Are just just sweet things I remember about you.
I could tell you a million things you do
That haunt me night and day
For I get so lonely darling every moment you're away
The way you smoke your cigarette
The way I tingled when we first met
Are just just sweet things I remember about you...
It All Falls Down lyrics - Conway Twitty
Yes, it falls down
Everytime we build it up
It all falls down.
When we first fell in love the sun shined bright above
And everything we ever did was right
Love was all we ever knew clouds above were always blue
And all the time we never had a fight.
But time together made a change
The love we have is not the same
It seems that we keep goin' round and round.
We try so hard to build our love
And make it just the way it was
But everytime we build it up
It all falls down.
Yes, it falls down
Our love gets halfway to heaven then falls to the ground
Yes, it falls down.
It's so hard to make love strong
With one day right and two days wrong
And everytime we build it up
It all falls down.
Yes, it falls down
Everytime we build it up
It all falls down...
Everytime we build it up
It all falls down.
When we first fell in love the sun shined bright above
And everything we ever did was right
Love was all we ever knew clouds above were always blue
And all the time we never had a fight.
But time together made a change
The love we have is not the same
It seems that we keep goin' round and round.
We try so hard to build our love
And make it just the way it was
But everytime we build it up
It all falls down.
Yes, it falls down
Our love gets halfway to heaven then falls to the ground
Yes, it falls down.
It's so hard to make love strong
With one day right and two days wrong
And everytime we build it up
It all falls down.
Yes, it falls down
Everytime we build it up
It all falls down...
Lifetime Before lyrics - Conway Twitty
We've lived more in a short time together
Than we've lived in a lifetime before
And this feeling that's burning inside me
Is a thing of the future in store.
The short time we've spent together
Oh, the love we give each other
Is more than most people see in the lifetime
You're all I ever live for.
Oh, no one could ever give more
I can't see me without you
Nowhere in my mind.
We've lived more in a short time together
Than we've lived in a lifetime before
And this feeling that's burning inside me
Is a thing of the future in store...
Than we've lived in a lifetime before
And this feeling that's burning inside me
Is a thing of the future in store.
The short time we've spent together
Oh, the love we give each other
Is more than most people see in the lifetime
You're all I ever live for.
Oh, no one could ever give more
I can't see me without you
Nowhere in my mind.
We've lived more in a short time together
Than we've lived in a lifetime before
And this feeling that's burning inside me
Is a thing of the future in store...
Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man lyrics - Conway Twitty
[Conway Twitty:]
Hey, Louisiana woman
[Loretta Lynn:]
Mississippi man

We get together every time we can
The Mississippi River can't keep us apart
[Conway Twitty:]
There's too much love in this Mississippi heart
[Loretta Lynn:]
Too much love in this Louisiana heart
[Conway Twitty:]
See the alligators all a waitin' nearby
Sooner or later, they know I'm gonna try
When she waved from the bank
Don't you know I know
It's a-goodbye fishin' line, see you while I go
With a Louisiana woman waitin' on the other side
The Mississippi River don't look so wide

Well, I thought I'd been loved, but I never had

When he holds me close, it feels almost
Like another hurricane just ripped the coast
If he can't come to me, I'm gonna go to him
That Mississippi River, Lord, I'm gonna swim

I'm gonna jump in the river and here I go
Too bad, alligator, you swim too slow

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

Goodbye to romance

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

Hides me in the cleft of the rock.
Jesus is a soul man.

If We Want Love To Last lyrics - Conway Twitty
Everybody I know is a looking for love but they don't know how they give it
Everybody is a looking for more out of life but they don't know how they live it
Like everything else if we don't return it the love's gonna run out fast
We gotta puttin' more in than we take out if we want love to last
Well if it don't rain we might go to church to put in a dollar bill
Shake the precher's hand and ask him for dinner but really hope he never will
Then we wonder why we don't get ahead as life keeps up passin' us by
We keep a looking for things that we can't find and keep on wondering why
Everybody I know is a looking for love but they don't know how they give it...
Well we can't afford just to take a little time to help a poor soul in need
We do just enough to heed our conscience in the world of hate and greed
What we needed for love was the cause of the color of the mam we walk right past
We gotta puttin' more in than we take out if we want love to last
Everybody I know is a looking for love but they don't know how they give it...
Everybody is a looking for more out of life but they don't know how they live it
Like everything else if we don't return it the love's gonna run out fast
We gotta puttin' more in than we take out if we want love to last
Well if it don't rain we might go to church to put in a dollar bill
Shake the precher's hand and ask him for dinner but really hope he never will
Then we wonder why we don't get ahead as life keeps up passin' us by
We keep a looking for things that we can't find and keep on wondering why
Everybody I know is a looking for love but they don't know how they give it...
Well we can't afford just to take a little time to help a poor soul in need
We do just enough to heed our conscience in the world of hate and greed
What we needed for love was the cause of the color of the mam we walk right past
We gotta puttin' more in than we take out if we want love to last
Everybody I know is a looking for love but they don't know how they give it...
You've Never Been This Far Before lyrics - Conway Twitty
I can almost hear the stillness
as it yields to the sound of your heart beating
and I can almost hear the echo
of the thoughts that I know you must be thinking
and I can feel your body tremble
as you wonder what this moment holds in store
and as I put my arms around you
I can tell you've never been this far before
I don't know what I'm saying
as my trembling fingers touch forbidden places
I only know that I have waited
for so long for the chance that we are taking
I don't know and I don't care
what made you tell him you don't love him anymore
and as I taste your tender kisses
I can tell you've never been this far before
and as I take the love you're giving
I can feel the tension building in your mind
and you're wondering if tomorrow
I'll still love you like I'm loving you tonight
you have no way of knowing
but tonight will only make me love you more
and I hope that you'll believe me
'cause I know you've never been this far before
as it yields to the sound of your heart beating
and I can almost hear the echo
of the thoughts that I know you must be thinking
and I can feel your body tremble
as you wonder what this moment holds in store
and as I put my arms around you
I can tell you've never been this far before
I don't know what I'm saying
as my trembling fingers touch forbidden places
I only know that I have waited
for so long for the chance that we are taking
I don't know and I don't care
what made you tell him you don't love him anymore
and as I taste your tender kisses
I can tell you've never been this far before
and as I take the love you're giving
I can feel the tension building in your mind
and you're wondering if tomorrow
I'll still love you like I'm loving you tonight
you have no way of knowing
but tonight will only make me love you more
and I hope that you'll believe me
'cause I know you've never been this far before
Born To Lose lyrics - Conway Twitty
Born to lose
I've lived my life in vain
Every dream
Has only brought me pain.
All my life
I've always been so blue
Born to lose
And now I'm losin' you.
Born to lose
It's been so hard to bear
And when I've waited
And I found that you're not there.
You've grown tired
And now you say we're through
Born to lose
And now I'm losin' you.
--- Instrumental ---
Mhm All my life
I've always been so blue
Born to lose
And now I'm, I'm losin' you...
I've lived my life in vain
Every dream
Has only brought me pain.
All my life
I've always been so blue
Born to lose
And now I'm losin' you.
Born to lose
It's been so hard to bear
And when I've waited
And I found that you're not there.
You've grown tired
And now you say we're through
Born to lose
And now I'm losin' you.
--- Instrumental ---
Mhm All my life
I've always been so blue
Born to lose
And now I'm, I'm losin' you...
