Couples walking in the park
Seeing them just breaks my heart in two, right in two
Wonder how you spend your time
Do you know that I'm still missing you, missing you
Am I the only one who can't stand a midnight train
Or do you hear that whistle moan and want my love again.
Ah don't it make you lonely,
Don't it make you wanna cry out loud
Don't it make you want me,
Don't it make you wanna work it out
Don't it make your heart ache
Even though you're finally free
Don't it make you lonely, lonely like me?
When you hear a sad song play
Does a teardrop lay there in your eye, do you cry
When you're alone and the day is done
Don't you wish we'd give it one more try,
Ah, just one more try?
And do you reach out in the
Middle of the night to find me gone
'Cause if you feel the way I do
Then baby why don't you come home
Ah, don't it make you lonely,
Don't it make you wanna cry out loud
Don't it make you want me,
Don't it make you wanna work it out
Don't it make your heart ache
Even though you're finally free
Don't it make you lonely, lonely like me?
Ah, don't it make you lonely, lonely like me?..
I'm The Only Thing (I'll Hold Against You) lyrics - Conway Twitty
Yesterday, you walked away and left me
Today, you say you're sorry that we're through
Our love will work, we'll heal the hurt so help me
Laying blame's the last thing I would do.
I'm the only thing I'll hold against you
Let my loving arms show you the truth
There'll be no I told you sos
No matter how much heartache we go through
I love you, and I'm the only thing I'll hold against you.
I know it'd be just like the first time that I held you
When we swore that our love would always last
Lets give it one more try, don't be afraid to
One touch and we'll forget about the past.
I'm the only thing I'll hold against you
Let my loving arms show you the truth
There'll be no I told you sos
No matter how much heartache we go through
I love you, and I'm the only thing I'll hold against you.
Sometimes things go wrong
Between a woman and a man
I know we'll make it work,
All we need is a second chance
I'm the only thing I'll hold against you
Let my loving arms show you the truth
There'll be no I told you sos
No matter how much heartache we go through
I love you, and I'm the only thing I'll hold against you.
I'm the only thing I'll hold against you...
Today, you say you're sorry that we're through
Our love will work, we'll heal the hurt so help me
Laying blame's the last thing I would do.
I'm the only thing I'll hold against you
Let my loving arms show you the truth
There'll be no I told you sos
No matter how much heartache we go through
I love you, and I'm the only thing I'll hold against you.
I know it'd be just like the first time that I held you
When we swore that our love would always last
Lets give it one more try, don't be afraid to
One touch and we'll forget about the past.
I'm the only thing I'll hold against you
Let my loving arms show you the truth
There'll be no I told you sos
No matter how much heartache we go through
I love you, and I'm the only thing I'll hold against you.
Sometimes things go wrong
Between a woman and a man
I know we'll make it work,
All we need is a second chance
I'm the only thing I'll hold against you
Let my loving arms show you the truth
There'll be no I told you sos
No matter how much heartache we go through
I love you, and I'm the only thing I'll hold against you.
I'm the only thing I'll hold against you...
I Don't Love You lyrics - Conway Twitty
Pray before I close my eyes
Please don't be in my dreams again tonight
I don't love you.
There's no place in your life for me
So just get out of mine and let me be
I don't love you.
I don't stare at your photograph,
Wishing I could get you back
I don't need you at all
I swear it's true
I don't love you.
Think I'll go out on the town
Find someone to wrap my arms around
I don't love you.
I won't think twice when she's kissing me,
I won't be haunted by your memories
'Cause, I don't love you.
I don't think of the night you left
How you left me with no regrets
You just turned to me so calm and cool
And said, "I don't love you."
Ooo, I don't love you is what I say,
When the pain is too much to take
Over and over till I believe, it's true,
I don't love you.
I don't love you.
I don't love you.
I don't love you...
Please don't be in my dreams again tonight
I don't love you.
There's no place in your life for me
So just get out of mine and let me be
I don't love you.
I don't stare at your photograph,
Wishing I could get you back
I don't need you at all
I swear it's true
I don't love you.
Think I'll go out on the town
Find someone to wrap my arms around
I don't love you.
I won't think twice when she's kissing me,
I won't be haunted by your memories
'Cause, I don't love you.
I don't think of the night you left
How you left me with no regrets
You just turned to me so calm and cool
And said, "I don't love you."
Ooo, I don't love you is what I say,
When the pain is too much to take
Over and over till I believe, it's true,
I don't love you.
I don't love you.
I don't love you.
I don't love you...
The Likes Of Me lyrics - Conway Twitty
Baby, I bet your ears have been burnin'
'Cause the fence-post gossip wheels have been turnin'
They're sayin' you gave your love and got taken
And once again your heart is breakin'
You're thinkin' lonely is your destiny
You ain't ever been loved by the likes of me.
I'd like to be at your beck and call
I'd like to stay around for the long haul
Startin' tonight, I'd like to make sweet memories
Now, you ain't ever been loved by the likes of me.
If you need a helpin' hand to start over
Baby, I can give you more than a shoulder
You said you're havin' trouble believin'
That I won't be lovin' and leavin'
I say you've been hurtin' needlessly
It's high time you were loved by the likes of me.
I'd like to be at your beck and call
I'd like to stay around for the long haul
Startin' tonight, I'd like to make sweet memories
Now, you ain't ever been loved by the likes of me.
I'd like to be at your beck and call
I'd like to stay around for the long haul
Startin' tonight, I'd like to make sweet memories
Now, you ain't ever been loved by the likes of me.
You ain't ever been loved by the likes of me
Now, you ain't ever been loved by the likes of me...
'Cause the fence-post gossip wheels have been turnin'
They're sayin' you gave your love and got taken
And once again your heart is breakin'
You're thinkin' lonely is your destiny
You ain't ever been loved by the likes of me.
I'd like to be at your beck and call
I'd like to stay around for the long haul
Startin' tonight, I'd like to make sweet memories
Now, you ain't ever been loved by the likes of me.
If you need a helpin' hand to start over
Baby, I can give you more than a shoulder
You said you're havin' trouble believin'
That I won't be lovin' and leavin'
I say you've been hurtin' needlessly
It's high time you were loved by the likes of me.
I'd like to be at your beck and call
I'd like to stay around for the long haul
Startin' tonight, I'd like to make sweet memories
Now, you ain't ever been loved by the likes of me.
I'd like to be at your beck and call
I'd like to stay around for the long haul
Startin' tonight, I'd like to make sweet memories
Now, you ain't ever been loved by the likes of me.
You ain't ever been loved by the likes of me
Now, you ain't ever been loved by the likes of me...
An Old Memory Like Me lyrics - Conway Twitty
There's a clock on the wall
At the end of the hall
That hasn't kept time in years
There's an old tattered bear
In the bedroom somewhere
'Cause ya can't hardly sleep 'less it's near
There's an old box of letters
I know you still save
'Cause you're too sentimental
To throw them away
But is there room in your heart
For an old memory like me
There's an old satin gown
Been twice handed down
You were savin' for your wedding day
But you married in haste
What a terrible waste
And it never got used anyway
There's a bottle of champainge
It's french 59
But you might as well drink it
To happier times
Is there room in your heart
For an old memory like me
I used to tease you
'Cause you couldn't part with
things that were no use at all
now I'm afraid that you'll toss them away
after all
like the clock on the wall
at the end of the hall
that hasn't kept time in years
like the old tattered bear
in the bedroom somewhere
ya can't hardly sleep 'less it's near
there's a bottle of champainge
it's french 59
but you might as well drink it
to happier times
is there room in your heart
for an old memory like me
mmm hmm
is there room in your heart
for an old memory like me
mmm hmm
mmm hmm
At the end of the hall
That hasn't kept time in years
There's an old tattered bear
In the bedroom somewhere
'Cause ya can't hardly sleep 'less it's near
There's an old box of letters
I know you still save
'Cause you're too sentimental
To throw them away
But is there room in your heart
For an old memory like me
There's an old satin gown
Been twice handed down
You were savin' for your wedding day
But you married in haste
What a terrible waste
And it never got used anyway
There's a bottle of champainge
It's french 59
But you might as well drink it
To happier times
Is there room in your heart
For an old memory like me
I used to tease you
'Cause you couldn't part with
things that were no use at all
now I'm afraid that you'll toss them away
after all
like the clock on the wall
at the end of the hall
that hasn't kept time in years

to happier times
is there room in your heart
for an old memory like me
mmm hmm
is there room in your heart
for an old memory like me

Final Touches lyrics - Conway Twitty
I never felt the way I feel tonight
Here with you in the pale moonlight
Tender love songs on the radio,
Sweet, sweet music that lets feelings flow
There's love in our hearts and the stars above us
All that's left are the final touches.
Warm wine chilling in the mountain stream
Sweet Magnolias drifting on the breeze
Soft, southern accent on your ruby red lips
The promise held in your fingertips.
For the searching hand of midnight lovers
All that's left are the final touches.
This perfect picture of you and me
One more move and it'll be complete.
For the searching hand of midnight lovers
All that's left are the final touches.
All that's left are the final touches...
Here with you in the pale moonlight
Tender love songs on the radio,
Sweet, sweet music that lets feelings flow
There's love in our hearts and the stars above us
All that's left are the final touches.
Warm wine chilling in the mountain stream
Sweet Magnolias drifting on the breeze
Soft, southern accent on your ruby red lips
The promise held in your fingertips.
For the searching hand of midnight lovers
All that's left are the final touches.
This perfect picture of you and me
One more move and it'll be complete.
For the searching hand of midnight lovers
All that's left are the final touches.
All that's left are the final touches...
You Are To Me lyrics - Conway Twitty
Last Friday night down at the diner
Booth in back, they sat alone
Holding hands like two young lovers
Her hair was gray and his was gone.
She said to him I'm getting older
A pretty girl, no more to be
Heaven knows I'm not a treasure
He softly said, you are to me.
You are to me a girl in springtime
The one I met so long ago
A moment captured for a lifetime
That's what I see you are to me.
He said to her my work is done, now
And all that's left are memories
Heaven knows I'm not important
She softly said, you are to me.
You are to me a boy in springtime
The one I met so long ago
A moment captured for a lifetime
That's what I see, you are to me.
That's what I see, you are to me.
Last Friday night down at the diner...
Booth in back, they sat alone
Holding hands like two young lovers
Her hair was gray and his was gone.
She said to him I'm getting older
A pretty girl, no more to be
Heaven knows I'm not a treasure
He softly said, you are to me.
You are to me a girl in springtime
The one I met so long ago
A moment captured for a lifetime
That's what I see you are to me.
He said to her my work is done, now
And all that's left are memories
Heaven knows I'm not important
She softly said, you are to me.
You are to me a boy in springtime
The one I met so long ago
A moment captured for a lifetime
That's what I see, you are to me.
That's what I see, you are to me.
Last Friday night down at the diner...
You Ought To Try It Sometime lyrics - Conway Twitty
I want a honky-tonk girl,
I want a honky-tonk song
I'd like to pull my saddle off
And send my pony home.
I've got fast cars, fast planes
Fast trains everything
Never gets me there on time
You've got the bossman
Tax man screwing up my game plan
Messing with my mind.
You've got a bad moods, attitude
Every day can take a few
Good years off of my mind
But I put them back on
When the band kicks off
Every Saturday night.
I get a honky-tonk girl
And a honky-tonk song
Then I pull my saddle off
And send my pony home.
We're gonna dance all night
In and out of that line
With a rockin' beat
To get you on your feet
You ought to try it sometime.
Well, talk to me big wheel
Can you tell me what's the deal
Won't you let a poor boy slide
Back dent, pay the rent
Got to send them every cent
But I'm gonna survive.
With a honky-tonk girl
And a honky-tonk song
Then I pull my saddle off
And send my pony home.
We're gonna dance all night
In and out of that line
With a rockin' beat
To get you on your feet
You ought to try it sometime.
I get a honky-tonk girl
And a honky-tonk song
Then I pull my saddle off
And send my pony home...
I want a honky-tonk song
I'd like to pull my saddle off
And send my pony home.
I've got fast cars, fast planes
Fast trains everything
Never gets me there on time
You've got the bossman
Tax man screwing up my game plan
Messing with my mind.
You've got a bad moods, attitude
Every day can take a few
Good years off of my mind
But I put them back on
When the band kicks off
Every Saturday night.
I get a honky-tonk girl
And a honky-tonk song
Then I pull my saddle off
And send my pony home.
We're gonna dance all night
In and out of that line
With a rockin' beat
To get you on your feet
You ought to try it sometime.
Well, talk to me big wheel
Can you tell me what's the deal
Won't you let a poor boy slide
Back dent, pay the rent
Got to send them every cent
But I'm gonna survive.
With a honky-tonk girl
And a honky-tonk song
Then I pull my saddle off
And send my pony home.
We're gonna dance all night
In and out of that line
With a rockin' beat
To get you on your feet
You ought to try it sometime.
I get a honky-tonk girl
And a honky-tonk song
Then I pull my saddle off
And send my pony home...
She's Got A Man On Her Mind lyrics - Conway Twitty
See that far away look on her face
Twisting her hair, staring out into space
Theres no talking to her, don't even try
Better save your breath and just walk on by
She wasnt looking when he caught her eye
But now she can't see enough of that guy
Her head is spinning like a carnival wheel
Its getting scary but she loves how it feels.
Because shes got a man on her mind
Stirring in her soul, taking up all her time,
She's got all the symptoms, she's showing all the signs
She's got a man on her mind.
She's seeing less and less of the girls
Can't seem to fit them into her new world
Always the first to say that love wouldnt last
Now she's the one thats falling and shes falling pretty fast.
Because she's got a man on her mind
Stirring in her soul, taking up all her time,
She's got all the symptoms, she's showing all the signs
She's got a man on her mind.
It ain't been easy, just hanging tough,
even harder Understanding why she needs him so much
She's not herself when he's not around
Why he's even got her thinking 'bout settlin' down.
Because she's got a man on her mind
Stirring in her soul, taking up all her time,
She's got all the symptoms, she's showing all the signs
She's got a man on her mind.
Because she's got a man on her mind
Stirring in her soul, taking up all her time,
She's got all the symptoms, she's showing all the signs
She's got a man on her mind...
Twisting her hair, staring out into space
Theres no talking to her, don't even try
Better save your breath and just walk on by
She wasnt looking when he caught her eye
But now she can't see enough of that guy
Her head is spinning like a carnival wheel
Its getting scary but she loves how it feels.
Because shes got a man on her mind
Stirring in her soul, taking up all her time,
She's got all the symptoms, she's showing all the signs
She's got a man on her mind.
She's seeing less and less of the girls
Can't seem to fit them into her new world
Always the first to say that love wouldnt last
Now she's the one thats falling and shes falling pretty fast.
Because she's got a man on her mind
Stirring in her soul, taking up all her time,
She's got all the symptoms, she's showing all the signs
She's got a man on her mind.
It ain't been easy, just hanging tough,
even harder Understanding why she needs him so much
She's not herself when he's not around
Why he's even got her thinking 'bout settlin' down.
Because she's got a man on her mind
Stirring in her soul, taking up all her time,
She's got all the symptoms, she's showing all the signs
She's got a man on her mind.
Because she's got a man on her mind
Stirring in her soul, taking up all her time,
She's got all the symptoms, she's showing all the signs
She's got a man on her mind...
Even Now lyrics - Conway Twitty
Even now, your memory takes my breath away.
I'd give my heart to relive yesterday
When our love was sometihng new.
And even now, your perfume clings to the pillow where
I reach out for you but no one's there.
That's when I have to face the truth.
Too many times I lie and make you cry
And never see how it was tearin' you apart.
Now I see how much I lost
Each day I sadly pay the cost
Of breakin' both our hearts.
Told your friends the next time that she talks to you.
To say I'm so alone and feelin' blue
And if you want me to I'll crawl.
So if you find my memory lingers on your mind.
That telephone won't ring a second time.
I'll be here waiting for your call.
Please come home.
I learned how bad it hurts to be alone.
And how it feels to wake and find love gone.
I'll make it up to you somehow.
I need you here.
And I guess that makes us, even now...
I'd give my heart to relive yesterday
When our love was sometihng new.
And even now, your perfume clings to the pillow where
I reach out for you but no one's there.
That's when I have to face the truth.
Too many times I lie and make you cry
And never see how it was tearin' you apart.
Now I see how much I lost
Each day I sadly pay the cost
Of breakin' both our hearts.
Told your friends the next time that she talks to you.
To say I'm so alone and feelin' blue
And if you want me to I'll crawl.
So if you find my memory lingers on your mind.
That telephone won't ring a second time.
I'll be here waiting for your call.
Please come home.
I learned how bad it hurts to be alone.
And how it feels to wake and find love gone.
I'll make it up to you somehow.
I need you here.
And I guess that makes us, even now...
Someday You'll Love Me lyrics - Conway Twitty
Might be dreamin', might be crazy
Thinkin' you might love me maybe
Poor hearts pounding, overflowin'
Taking bets, I know where it's goin'
Someday you'll love me, it's written in the stars
Someday you need me, to hold you in my arms
Someday you'll want me, just as much as I want you
Someday you'll love me, I will be the one
Someday you need me, just call and I will come
Someday you'll love me just as much as I love you
Just as much as I love you
There's a glimmer in you eye now
What I'm sure of soon you'll find out
Oh, I want you moonlight dancin'
I won't take no for no answer
Someday you'll love me, it's written in the stars
Someday you need me, to hold you in my arms
Someday you'll want me, just as much as I want you
Someday you'll love me, I will be the one

Someday you need me, just call and I will come
Someday you'll love me just as much as I love you
Just as much as I love you
Thinkin' you might love me maybe
Poor hearts pounding, overflowin'
Taking bets, I know where it's goin'
Someday you'll love me, it's written in the stars
Someday you need me, to hold you in my arms
Someday you'll want me, just as much as I want you
Someday you'll love me, I will be the one
Someday you need me, just call and I will come

She's In Love lyrics - Conway Twitty
My heart is beating so, just to know she is near
And when she speaks my name, her voice is all I can hear
The feeling she feels deep down inside
It touches my heart, brings tears to my eyes
'Cause she's in love when she looks at me
It's plain to see that she's in love
She's just not in love with me
As she gently takes my hand and tells me she's his for the taking
She'll never understand the way that my heart is breaking
We've been such friends, so I'll never tell
How I love her so while I wish her well
She's in love when she looks at me
It's plain to see that she's in love
She's just not in love and she'll never be
She's just not in love with me
And when she speaks my name, her voice is all I can hear
The feeling she feels deep down inside
It touches my heart, brings tears to my eyes
'Cause she's in love when she looks at me
It's plain to see that she's in love
She's just not in love with me
As she gently takes my hand and tells me she's his for the taking
She'll never understand the way that my heart is breaking
We've been such friends, so I'll never tell
How I love her so while I wish her well
She's in love when she looks at me
It's plain to see that she's in love
She's just not in love and she'll never be
She's just not in love with me
You Put It There lyrics - Conway Twitty
You see this smile on my face
You put it there
There was a time you couldn't barely trace
Any one anywhere.
Now I got dreams, the future's mine
Built outta rock, it won't turn to sand
Cause I got love in my life
And you put it there.
There's a high step in my walk
And you put it there
You make me feel ten feet tall
Because you care.
I had no one to call my own
Spent every night all alone.
Now I've got love in my life
And you put it there.
Oh, what a difference
Your sweet love made in me
I was like a puzzle with pieces missin'
So incomplete.
But you put me together
With two loving arms
Made me feel like I am someone
Yeah, I got love in my life
And you put it there.
Talkin' 'bout love in my life
And you put it there
You put it there
There was a time you couldn't barely trace
Any one anywhere.
Now I got dreams, the future's mine
Built outta rock, it won't turn to sand
Cause I got love in my life
And you put it there.
There's a high step in my walk
And you put it there
You make me feel ten feet tall
Because you care.
I had no one to call my own
Spent every night all alone.
Now I've got love in my life
And you put it there.
Oh, what a difference
Your sweet love made in me
I was like a puzzle with pieces missin'
So incomplete.
But you put me together
With two loving arms
Made me feel like I am someone
Yeah, I got love in my life
And you put it there.
Talkin' 'bout love in my life
And you put it there
Life's Too Short (No Matter How Long It Lasts) lyrics - Conway Twitty
Big brother had a treehouse club when he was only ten
I didn't know the secret code, so they wouldn't let me in
They told me I was much too young for the kind of games they played
I remember, I would sit and cry, wishin' I was twice my age.
My grandpa was the only one with a sympathetic ear
Patiently, he'd comfort me when I was close to tears
And I'd say gramps, why does it take so long for time to pass
And he'd say, sport, life's too short no matter how long it lasts.
Too soon you'll see how suddenly tomorrow becomes the past
Life's too short no matter how long it lasts.
At twenty-one, they called me home, cause Grandpa's time was near
We gathered 'round his bedside, fighting back the tears
I said, Grandpa, we can't let you go, even though you're ninety-three
He said, I'd love to stay, but it ain't up to me.
And then, we heard him whisper in a voice that was fading fast
Life's too short no matter how long it lasts.
Today my little grandson came and climbed up on my knee
He said, why can't I be all grown up, instead of only three
And then, those old familiar words came tumbling from the past
And, I said, sport, life's too short no matter how long it lasts.
Too soon you'll see how suddenly tomorrow becomes the past
Life's too short no matter how long it lasts.
Life's much too short, no matter how long it lasts...
I didn't know the secret code, so they wouldn't let me in
They told me I was much too young for the kind of games they played
I remember, I would sit and cry, wishin' I was twice my age.
My grandpa was the only one with a sympathetic ear
Patiently, he'd comfort me when I was close to tears
And I'd say gramps, why does it take so long for time to pass
And he'd say, sport, life's too short no matter how long it lasts.
Too soon you'll see how suddenly tomorrow becomes the past
Life's too short no matter how long it lasts.
At twenty-one, they called me home, cause Grandpa's time was near
We gathered 'round his bedside, fighting back the tears
I said, Grandpa, we can't let you go, even though you're ninety-three
He said, I'd love to stay, but it ain't up to me.
And then, we heard him whisper in a voice that was fading fast
Life's too short no matter how long it lasts.
Today my little grandson came and climbed up on my knee
He said, why can't I be all grown up, instead of only three
And then, those old familiar words came tumbling from the past
And, I said, sport, life's too short no matter how long it lasts.
Too soon you'll see how suddenly tomorrow becomes the past
Life's too short no matter how long it lasts.
Life's much too short, no matter how long it lasts...
