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.
Lately I'm a prayin' that you'll
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.

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

Somebody Lied lyrics - Conway Twitty
Hello, yeah, this is me
Lord, it's been a long, long time
I know this ain't no social call
So, go ahead, get it off your mind
You heard what? Well, it ain't true
I was here most all last night
I got over you the day you left
Could it be somebody lied?
You heard what? That I was cryin'?
I haven't shed a tear in years
That I spoke your name? Well, that's insane
I've hardly noticed you're not here
I showed your picture to some stranger
Don't you think I've got no pride?
They've been here at home, face down on a shelf
Lord, I bet somebody lied
But if it were true, would it matter to you?
Would it change the way you feel?
If the rumors were right, would you be here tonight
To help this old heart heal?
Well, don't worry, it wasn't me
Just someone whose world was torn in two
Someone who looked a lot like me
And loved someone like you
Someone who looked a lot like me
And still loves someone like you
Lord, it's been a long, long time
I know this ain't no social call
So, go ahead, get it off your mind
You heard what? Well, it ain't true
I was here most all last night
I got over you the day you left
Could it be somebody lied?
You heard what? That I was cryin'?
I haven't shed a tear in years
That I spoke your name? Well, that's insane
I've hardly noticed you're not here
I showed your picture to some stranger
Don't you think I've got no pride?
They've been here at home, face down on a shelf
Lord, I bet somebody lied
But if it were true, would it matter to you?
Would it change the way you feel?
If the rumors were right, would you be here tonight
To help this old heart heal?
Well, don't worry, it wasn't me
Just someone whose world was torn in two
Someone who looked a lot like me
And loved someone like you
Someone who looked a lot like me
And still loves someone like you
Between Blue Eyes And Jeans lyrics - Conway Twitty
Somewhere between her blue eyes and jeans
There's a heart, that's been broken
Along with her dreams.
And tonight she's out dancing
Drinking and thinking
Feeling a feeling,
Between her blue eyes and jeans.
She looks just like an angel
In a big ole cloud of lonesome
Reflecting her memory
Round a golden wedding ring.
And tonight some dance hall doctor
Might break the chains that locked her
To that lonesome old feeling
Between her blue eyes and jeans.
Somewhere between, her blue eyes and jeans
There's a heart, that's been broken
Along with her dreams
And tonight some dance hall doctor
Might break the chains that locked her
To that lonesome old feeling
Between her blue eyes and jeans.
Somewhere between, her blue eyes and jeans
There's a heart, that's been broken
Along with her dreams.
And tonight some dance hall doctor
Might break the chains that locked her
To that lonesome old feeling
Between her blue eyes and jeans.
She's healing a feeling
Between her blue eyes and jeans...
There's a heart, that's been broken
Along with her dreams.
And tonight she's out dancing
Drinking and thinking
Feeling a feeling,
Between her blue eyes and jeans.
She looks just like an angel
In a big ole cloud of lonesome
Reflecting her memory
Round a golden wedding ring.
And tonight some dance hall doctor
Might break the chains that locked her
To that lonesome old feeling
Between her blue eyes and jeans.
Somewhere between, her blue eyes and jeans
There's a heart, that's been broken
Along with her dreams
And tonight some dance hall doctor
Might break the chains that locked her
To that lonesome old feeling
Between her blue eyes and jeans.
Somewhere between, her blue eyes and jeans
There's a heart, that's been broken
Along with her dreams.
And tonight some dance hall doctor
Might break the chains that locked her
To that lonesome old feeling
Between her blue eyes and jeans.
She's healing a feeling
Between her blue eyes and jeans...
