Just let me be the judge
Of what you've done and if I find
You guilty I'll erase you
From my heart and from my mind.
Talk is goin' over town
That you my love
Have let me down
I don't believe what people say.
I still love you.
I don't believe that you're to blame
I don't believe you've brought me shame.
I just can't believe that you have been untrue.
They say I should go on alone
That you've done something very wrong
That you're not worthy of the love I have for you
But I won't believe a thing they say until you say it's true.
Just let me be the judge
Of what you've done and if I find
You guilty I'd erase you
From my heart and from my mind.
You tell me that the things they say
are true that I should go my way
You ask me to forgive you
For the wrong you've done
You say although you've been untrue
I still mean everything to you
That you only meant to dance
With him and have some fun.
Then the jukebox played our favorite song
You knew that you were doing wrong
You closed your eyes and made believe that I was there
And now you think it's better that we'll end our love affair.
Just let me be the judge
Of what you've done and if I find
You guilty I'd erase you
From my heart and from my mind...
Cold, Cold Heart lyrics - Conway Twitty
I tried so hard my dear
To show that you're my every dream
Yet you are afraid each thing I do
Is but some evil scheme.
In anger unkind words are said
That make the teardrops start
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold, cold heart.
To show that you're my every dream
Yet you are afraid each thing I do
Is but some evil scheme.
In anger unkind words are said
That make the teardrops start
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold, cold heart.
I Can't Help It (If I'm Still In Love With You) lyrics - Conway Twitty
Today, I passed you on the street
And my heart fell at your feet
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you.
Somebody else stood by your side
And he looked so satisfied
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you.
A picture from the past came slowly stealing
As I brushed your arm and walked so close to you
Then suddenly I got that old time feeling
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you.
It's hard to know another's lips will kiss you
And hold you just the way I used to do
Oh, heaven only knows how much I miss you
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you.
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you...
And my heart fell at your feet
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you.
Somebody else stood by your side
And he looked so satisfied
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you.
A picture from the past came slowly stealing
As I brushed your arm and walked so close to you
Then suddenly I got that old time feeling
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you.
It's hard to know another's lips will kiss you
And hold you just the way I used to do
Oh, heaven only knows how much I miss you
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you.
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you...
They'll Never Take Her Love From Me lyrics - Conway Twitty
If today the sun should set
On all my hopes and cares
There is one who's smiling face
That Gods would see.
'Cause she'll walk along beside me
Up those golden stairs
Oh, they'll never never
Take her love from me...
On all my hopes and cares
There is one who's smiling face
That Gods would see.
'Cause she'll walk along beside me
Up those golden stairs
Oh, they'll never never
Take her love from me...
Wedding Bells lyrics - Conway Twitty
Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel
That should be ringing, now for you and me
At home alone, I hang my head in sorrow
Those wedding bells will never ring for me...
That should be ringing, now for you and me
At home alone, I hang my head in sorrow
Those wedding bells will never ring for me...
Take These Chains From My Heart lyrics - Conway Twitty
So take these chains
From my heart and set me free
You've grown cold
And no longer care for me.
All my faith in you is gone
But the heartaches linger on
Take these chains
From my heart and set me free...
From my heart and set me free
You've grown cold
And no longer care for me.
All my faith in you is gone
But the heartaches linger on
Take these chains
From my heart and set me free...
Your Cheatin' Heart lyrics - Conway Twitty
Your cheatin' heart
Will make you weep
You'll cry and cry
You'll try to sleep.
But sleep won't come
The whole night through
Your cheating heart
Will tell on you...
Will make you weep
You'll cry and cry
You'll try to sleep.
But sleep won't come
The whole night through
Your cheating heart
Will tell on you...
Hey Baby lyrics - Conway Twitty
Hey hey baby I wanna know if you'll be my girl
Hey hey baby I wanna know if you'll be my girl
When I saw you walking down the street
I said that's the kind of girl I'd like to meet
She's so pretty Lord she's fine I'm gonna make her mine all mine
Hey hey baby I wanna know if you'll be my girl
When you turned and walked away that's when I wanna say
Come on baby give me a whirl I wanna know if you'll be my girl
Say hey hey baby I wanna know if you'll be my girl
When you turned and walked away...
Say hey hey baby I wanna know if you'll be my girl
Hey hey baby I wanna know if you'll be my girl
When I saw you walking down the street
I said that's the kind of girl I'd like to meet
She's so pretty Lord she's fine I'm gonna make her mine all mine
Hey hey baby I wanna know if you'll be my girl
When you turned and walked away that's when I wanna say
Come on baby give me a whirl I wanna know if you'll be my girl
Say hey hey baby I wanna know if you'll be my girl
When you turned and walked away...
Say hey hey baby I wanna know if you'll be my girl
Fifteen Years Ago lyrics - Conway Twitty
I saw a man today who said he talked to you
not so long ago, I think a month or two
as my mind raced back in time I prayed
oh, Lord, don't let it show
he thinks I forgot you fifteen years ago
Fifteen years ago and I still feel the same
why did he have to mention your name
I'm as broken up inside as if it's been a week or so
it takes a mighty long time
to get a real love off your mind
I know, I've tried since fifteen years ago
I've got a lovely wife who thinks the world of me
I promised her my love through all eternity
I've tried hard to make her happy
and so far, she doesn't know
That I can't shake this thing of fifteen years ago
Fifteen years ago and I still feel the same
why did he have to mention your name
I'm as broken up inside as if it's been a week or so
It takes a mighty strong love
To keep a man thinking of
A girl he hasn't seen since fifteen years ago
not so long ago, I think a month or two
as my mind raced back in time I prayed
oh, Lord, don't let it show
he thinks I forgot you fifteen years ago
Fifteen years ago and I still feel the same
why did he have to mention your name
I'm as broken up inside as if it's been a week or so
it takes a mighty long time
to get a real love off your mind
I know, I've tried since fifteen years ago
I've got a lovely wife who thinks the world of me
I promised her my love through all eternity
I've tried hard to make her happy
and so far, she doesn't know
That I can't shake this thing of fifteen years ago
Fifteen years ago and I still feel the same
why did he have to mention your name
I'm as broken up inside as if it's been a week or so
It takes a mighty strong love
To keep a man thinking of
A girl he hasn't seen since fifteen years ago
Back Street Affair lyrics - Conway Twitty
You didn't know I wasn't free
When you fell in love with me
And with all your young heart, you learned to care
It brought you shame and disgrace
The world has tumbled in your face
Because they call our love a back street affair.
They say you wrecked my home
I'm a husband that's gone wrong
They don't know the sorrow that we've had to bear
For the one that I'm tied to
Was the first to be untrue
And yet they call our love a back street affair.
We have each other now
That's all that matters anyhow
For the judgement of gossip's never fair
We'll just be brave and strong
Then some day they'll see they're wrong
So let 'em call our love a back street affair.
We'll be free to love someday
When all the talk has died away
And the happiness we hoped for then we'll share
I'll climb a mountain high
And then the world can hear me cry
That our love's not a back street affair...
When you fell in love with me
And with all your young heart, you learned to care
It brought you shame and disgrace
The world has tumbled in your face
Because they call our love a back street affair.
They say you wrecked my home
I'm a husband that's gone wrong
They don't know the sorrow that we've had to bear
For the one that I'm tied to
Was the first to be untrue
And yet they call our love a back street affair.
We have each other now
That's all that matters anyhow
For the judgement of gossip's never fair
We'll just be brave and strong
Then some day they'll see they're wrong
So let 'em call our love a back street affair.
We'll be free to love someday
When all the talk has died away
And the happiness we hoped for then we'll share
I'll climb a mountain high
And then the world can hear me cry
That our love's not a back street affair...
I Can't Believe That You've Stopped Loving Me lyrics - Conway Twitty
Tomorrow I'll say happy birthday darling
And surprise you with a gift when I come home
Then my forgetful arms will reach out for you
I can't forget you just because you're gone
I can't believe that you've stopped loving me
It's too much for me to understand
How can anything so real become a dream
I can't believe that you've stopped loving me
I'v sifted all the reasons why you left me
And I've gone back and relived all the love we had
For every tear we lost I've found the thousands smiles
And the good times always outweighed the bad
I can't believe that you've stopped loving me...
I can't believe that you've stopped loving me
And surprise you with a gift when I come home
Then my forgetful arms will reach out for you
I can't forget you just because you're gone
I can't believe that you've stopped loving me
It's too much for me to understand
How can anything so real become a dream
I can't believe that you've stopped loving me
I'v sifted all the reasons why you left me
And I've gone back and relived all the love we had
For every tear we lost I've found the thousands smiles
And the good times always outweighed the bad
I can't believe that you've stopped loving me...
I can't believe that you've stopped loving me
Slowly lyrics - Conway Twitty
Slowly I'm falling more in love with you
Slowly you're winning a heart that can be true
For I can't hide my feelings no matter what I do
For slowly I'm falling more in love with you
More and more I need you and want you by my side
More and more I love you as each day passes by
My heart I know you're stealing I hope that you'll be true
For slowly I'm falling more in love with you
Slowly I'm falling more in love with you...
Slowly you're winning a heart that can be true
For I can't hide my feelings no matter what I do
For slowly I'm falling more in love with you
More and more I need you and want you by my side
More and more I love you as each day passes by
My heart I know you're stealing I hope that you'll be true
For slowly I'm falling more in love with you
Slowly I'm falling more in love with you...
Sand Covered Angels lyrics - Conway Twitty
Three sunburned noses,
The color of roses,
Bobby's got a frog in his pocket
Where is your sister
For an hour I've missed her
She's trying to find her gold locket.
And your tow-headed brother
Has startled his mother
Trying to swallow his dime.
Do you really think
The fish liked that ink
Sand covered angels of mine.
There's crayons and mittens
And a box full of kittens
Though we always called that cat Tommy
Torn shirts and dresses
And rooms that are messes
And that's a bit hard on your mommy.
Bruises amd splinters
And colds in the winter
Making up stories that rhyme
Noses need blowing
Clothes you're out growing
Sand covered angels of mine.
Fingerprints on the wall
Of the bathroom and hall
Mending your toys takes my time
But the joy I would miss
If I couldn't kiss
Sand covered angels of mine...
The color of roses,
Bobby's got a frog in his pocket
Where is your sister
For an hour I've missed her
She's trying to find her gold locket.
And your tow-headed brother
Has startled his mother
Trying to swallow his dime.
Do you really think
The fish liked that ink
Sand covered angels of mine.
There's crayons and mittens
And a box full of kittens
Though we always called that cat Tommy
Torn shirts and dresses
And rooms that are messes
And that's a bit hard on your mommy.
Bruises amd splinters
And colds in the winter
Making up stories that rhyme
Noses need blowing
Clothes you're out growing
Sand covered angels of mine.
Fingerprints on the wall
Of the bathroom and hall
Mending your toys takes my time
But the joy I would miss
If I couldn't kiss
Sand covered angels of mine...
She Can Only See The Good In Me lyrics - Conway Twitty
She wants the world to know she loves me so
My woman can only see the good in me
She never had a thing she needed just enough to get by
And many times I've done her wrong late at night I've hurt her pride
She don't complain at the bad she's had and the things that used to be
She wants the world to know she loves me so
My woman can only see the good in me
She soon forgets the many times I've hurt her
And accepts me for what I am not for what I should be
And through all the bad she's had she just lives for me to love her
And she can only see the good in me
Where did love come from why does it stay how can she go on this way
What happened to all the dreams I had for her just yesterday
It's not her fault they didn't work out all my dreams were fantasy
Still by my side she walks with pride and she can only see the good in me
My woman can only see the good in me
My woman can only see the good in me
She never had a thing she needed just enough to get by
And many times I've done her wrong late at night I've hurt her pride
She don't complain at the bad she's had and the things that used to be
She wants the world to know she loves me so
My woman can only see the good in me
She soon forgets the many times I've hurt her
And accepts me for what I am not for what I should be
And through all the bad she's had she just lives for me to love her
And she can only see the good in me
Where did love come from why does it stay how can she go on this way
What happened to all the dreams I had for her just yesterday
It's not her fault they didn't work out all my dreams were fantasy
Still by my side she walks with pride and she can only see the good in me
My woman can only see the good in me
I'll Come Running lyrics - Conway Twitty
If you ever want somebody to love if you ever get to feeling blue
If you ever want a little company then I'll come running to you
It's been so long since I held you tight
But I still dream about you darling every night
I don't care who was wrong or who was right
I'll come running to you
Now all my love belongs to you that's just the way that I feel
And if you'll give me the least little chance I'd show you my love is really real
Well I'm not a bit ashamed to sit here and wait if that's all what I've got to do
I'll be around if your new love turns you down I'll come running to you
Now all my love belongs to you...
If you ever want a little company then I'll come running to you
It's been so long since I held you tight
But I still dream about you darling every night
I don't care who was wrong or who was right
I'll come running to you
Now all my love belongs to you that's just the way that I feel
And if you'll give me the least little chance I'd show you my love is really real
Well I'm not a bit ashamed to sit here and wait if that's all what I've got to do
I'll be around if your new love turns you down I'll come running to you
Now all my love belongs to you...
Darling Days lyrics - Conway Twitty
If I never love again I won't feel cheated
You gave me more than I knew how to use On
the day we met my journey was completed
Even though my autumn years won't be with you.
Seems like yesterday we called each other
darling Seems like yesterday you reached
and touched my hand I'd love to hear you
say good morning darling Oh what I'd give to
live those darling days again
Today my heart survives on love that's borrowed
From all the happy yesterdays we knew If I knew
for sure the world would end tomorrow I'd have
to spend my last days loving you.
Seems like yesterday we called each other darling
Seems like yesterday you reached and touched my
hand I'd love to hear you say good morning darling
Oh what I'd give to live those darling days again
Oh what I'd give to live those darling days again
You gave me more than I knew how to use On
the day we met my journey was completed
Even though my autumn years won't be with you.
Seems like yesterday we called each other
darling Seems like yesterday you reached
and touched my hand I'd love to hear you
say good morning darling Oh what I'd give to
live those darling days again
Today my heart survives on love that's borrowed
From all the happy yesterdays we knew If I knew
for sure the world would end tomorrow I'd have
to spend my last days loving you.
Seems like yesterday we called each other darling
Seems like yesterday you reached and touched my
hand I'd love to hear you say good morning darling
Oh what I'd give to live those darling days again
Oh what I'd give to live those darling days again
Little Girl Cried lyrics - Conway Twitty
And a little cried cause a little boy lied
The vows that he made he broke and betrayed
And her little heart broke cause the words that he spoke
Were just tenrder lies and a little girld cried
She was too young to know that he'd soon hurt her so
So she gave him her heart never dreamed they would part
Now it's over and done he's had all his fun
He just told her goodbye and a little girl cried
She was too young to know...
The vows that he made he broke and betrayed
And her little heart broke cause the words that he spoke
Were just tenrder lies and a little girld cried
She was too young to know that he'd soon hurt her so
So she gave him her heart never dreamed they would part
Now it's over and done he's had all his fun
He just told her goodbye and a little girl cried
She was too young to know...
Wild Mountain Rose lyrics - Conway Twitty
High on the mountain where the wild flowers grow
I fell in love with my wild mountain Rose
Rose lived high on the mountain with the bright lights of the city below
She dreamed of the day we would go there just me and my wild mountain Rose
But like the wild wind I drifted from her far below to the bright lights of town
I promised to come back and get her but time passed and I'd let her down
Now high on the mountain where the wild flowers grow
There's nothing but mem'ries of my wild mountain Rose
One night in town they told me of this beauty in a place where lonely men go
And they talked of her red lips and her black hair
And they called her their wild mountain Rose
And tonight I saw Rose for the first time in town in her new city clothes
And I'm to blame for the scarlet light that's burning
In the life of my wild mountain Rose
Now down in the valley where the lonely wind blows
I lost the love of my wild mountain Rose
I fell in love with my wild mountain Rose
Rose lived high on the mountain with the bright lights of the city below
She dreamed of the day we would go there just me and my wild mountain Rose
But like the wild wind I drifted from her far below to the bright lights of town
I promised to come back and get her but time passed and I'd let her down
Now high on the mountain where the wild flowers grow
There's nothing but mem'ries of my wild mountain Rose
One night in town they told me of this beauty in a place where lonely men go
And they talked of her red lips and her black hair
And they called her their wild mountain Rose
And tonight I saw Rose for the first time in town in her new city clothes
And I'm to blame for the scarlet light that's burning
In the life of my wild mountain Rose
Now down in the valley where the lonely wind blows
I lost the love of my wild mountain Rose
Rocky Top lyrics - Conway Twitty
Wish that I was on ole Rocky Top
Down in the Tennessee hills
Ain't no smoggy smoke up on Rocky Top
Ain't no telephone bills.
Once I had a girl on ole Rocky Top
Part bear the other part cat
Wild as a mink but sweet as soda pop
I still dream about that.
Rocky Top you'll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good ole Rocky Top,
Rocky Top Tennessee, Rocky Top Tennessee.
Once two strangers climbed old Rocky Top
Lookin' for a moonshine still
Strangers ain't come down from ol' Rocky Top
Reckon they never will.
Corn won't grow at all on Rocky Top
Dirt's too rocky by far
That's why all the folks on Rocky Top
Get their corn from a jar.
Rocky Top you'll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good ole Rocky Top,
Rocky Top Tennessee, Rocky Top Tennessee.
Rocky Top you'll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good ole Rocky Top,
Rocky Top Tennessee, Rocky Top Tennessee.
Rocky Top Tennessee...
Down in the Tennessee hills
Ain't no smoggy smoke up on Rocky Top
Ain't no telephone bills.
Once I had a girl on ole Rocky Top
Part bear the other part cat
Wild as a mink but sweet as soda pop
I still dream about that.
Rocky Top you'll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good ole Rocky Top,
Rocky Top Tennessee, Rocky Top Tennessee.
Once two strangers climbed old Rocky Top
Lookin' for a moonshine still
Strangers ain't come down from ol' Rocky Top
Reckon they never will.
Corn won't grow at all on Rocky Top
Dirt's too rocky by far
That's why all the folks on Rocky Top
Get their corn from a jar.
Rocky Top you'll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good ole Rocky Top,
Rocky Top Tennessee, Rocky Top Tennessee.
Rocky Top you'll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good ole Rocky Top,
Rocky Top Tennessee, Rocky Top Tennessee.
Rocky Top Tennessee...
I'll Get Over Losing You lyrics - Conway Twitty
The pain, the pain of a broken heart
The price I'll pay for loving you
I loved you from the very start
But I'll get over losing you.
I just can't seem to realize
You're leaving me today
As burning teardrops fill my eyes
I watch you walk away.
The pain, the pain of a broken heart
The price I'll pay for loving you
I loved you from the very start
But I'll get over losing you.
I lost my love, I lost my home
I just can't seem to win
If I get over losing you
I'll never love again.
The pain, the pain of a broken heart
The price I'll pay for loving you
I loved you from the very start
But I'll get over losing you...
The price I'll pay for loving you
I loved you from the very start
But I'll get over losing you.
I just can't seem to realize
You're leaving me today
As burning teardrops fill my eyes
I watch you walk away.
The pain, the pain of a broken heart
The price I'll pay for loving you
I loved you from the very start
But I'll get over losing you.
I lost my love, I lost my home
I just can't seem to win
If I get over losing you
I'll never love again.
The pain, the pain of a broken heart
The price I'll pay for loving you
I loved you from the very start
But I'll get over losing you...
Up Comes The Bottle (Down Goes The Man) lyrics - Conway Twitty
Up comes the bottle and down goes the man
I can't help him but I can understand
When up comes the bottle
And down, down, down, goes the man.
You may find him anywhere there's heartache and despair
With loneliness so heavy you can feel it in the air
And the only thing that matters is the drink in his hand
Then up comes the bottle
And down, down, down, goes the man.
You can read between the lines of his withered face
See defeat in his eyes that keeps searching every place
Just when he tells you he can quit
You see the tremble in his hands
Then up comes the bottle
And down, down, down, goes the man.
Up comes the bottle and down goes the man
There's just one thing can stop him
The love of my woman is all that can
For he loves her you see but she left him for me
I can't help him but I can understand
When up comes the bottle
And down, down, down, goes the man...
I can't help him but I can understand
When up comes the bottle
And down, down, down, goes the man.
You may find him anywhere there's heartache and despair
With loneliness so heavy you can feel it in the air
And the only thing that matters is the drink in his hand
Then up comes the bottle
And down, down, down, goes the man.
You can read between the lines of his withered face
See defeat in his eyes that keeps searching every place
Just when he tells you he can quit
You see the tremble in his hands
Then up comes the bottle
And down, down, down, goes the man.
Up comes the bottle and down goes the man
There's just one thing can stop him
The love of my woman is all that can
For he loves her you see but she left him for me
I can't help him but I can understand
When up comes the bottle
And down, down, down, goes the man...
You And Your Sweet Love lyrics - Conway Twitty
I wish you only knew
All the days I've made it through
Because of you
And your sweet love.
I wish that I could count the times
Peace and comfort filled my mind
Because of you
And your sweet love.
You're what keeps me going
The sun that lights my sky
The rose that blooms in winter
The rain that cools July.
Never try to tell me
That it wasn't God above
That sent me you
And your sweet love.
Almost every night it seems
You come walking through my dreams
Precious you
And your sweet love.
And tonight though we're apart
There's a fullness in my heart
Thanks to you
And your sweet love.
You're the rock I cling to
The star I wish upon
The water in my desert
The anchor in my storm.
Never try to tell me
That it wasn't God above
That sent me you
And your sweet love.
Precious you
And your sweet love...
All the days I've made it through
Because of you
And your sweet love.
I wish that I could count the times
Peace and comfort filled my mind
Because of you
And your sweet love.
You're what keeps me going
The sun that lights my sky
The rose that blooms in winter
The rain that cools July.
Never try to tell me
That it wasn't God above
That sent me you
And your sweet love.
Almost every night it seems
You come walking through my dreams
Precious you
And your sweet love.
And tonight though we're apart
There's a fullness in my heart
Thanks to you
And your sweet love.
You're the rock I cling to
The star I wish upon
The water in my desert
The anchor in my storm.
Never try to tell me
That it wasn't God above
That sent me you
And your sweet love.
Precious you
And your sweet love...
Hello Darlin' lyrics - Conway Twitty
Hello, darlin'
Nice to see you
It's been a long time
You're just as lovely as you used to be.
How's your new love?
Are you happy?
Hope you're doin' fine
Just to know it means so much to me.
What's that, darlin'?
How am I doin'?
I'm doin' alright
Except I can't sleep and I cry all night 'til dawn.
What I'm trying to say
Is I love you
And I miss you
And I'm so sorry that I did you wrong.
Look up, darlin'
Let me kiss you
Just for old time's sake
Let me hold you in my arms one more time.
Thank you, darlin'
May God bless you
And each step you take
Bring you closer to the things you seek to find.
Goodbye, darlin'
I gotta go now
Gotta try to find a way
To lose these memories of a love so warm and true.
And if you should ever find it
In your heart to forgive me
Come back, darlin'
I'll be waitin' for you...
Nice to see you
It's been a long time
You're just as lovely as you used to be.
How's your new love?
Are you happy?
Hope you're doin' fine
Just to know it means so much to me.
What's that, darlin'?
How am I doin'?
I'm doin' alright
Except I can't sleep and I cry all night 'til dawn.
What I'm trying to say
Is I love you
And I miss you
And I'm so sorry that I did you wrong.
Look up, darlin'
Let me kiss you
Just for old time's sake
Let me hold you in my arms one more time.
Thank you, darlin'
May God bless you
And each step you take
Bring you closer to the things you seek to find.
Goodbye, darlin'
I gotta go now
Gotta try to find a way
To lose these memories of a love so warm and true.
And if you should ever find it
In your heart to forgive me
Come back, darlin'
I'll be waitin' for you...
Rose lyrics - Conway Twitty
Just two kids from the country far from any town
And wherever I played Rose could always be found
Life was hard but we made it and as everyone knows
I was there when she needed me a playmate of Rose.
Now years have passed things have changed since we moved into town
The little girl I grew up with is your woman now I found
And now the sidewalks of the city where wild temptation flows
Is her new playground and the playmates of Rose.
So if you're the one that's holdin' her tight
Somewhere out there at night
Please don't treat her as if she's just another girl
From off the street
And please don't do her wrong for her pride is almost gone
For you see Rose means the world to me
I love the girl you found out in the world
The girl that every man knows
But I love her today so different from your way
For you see I'm the brother of Rose...
And wherever I played Rose could always be found
Life was hard but we made it and as everyone knows
I was there when she needed me a playmate of Rose.
Now years have passed things have changed since we moved into town
The little girl I grew up with is your woman now I found
And now the sidewalks of the city where wild temptation flows
Is her new playground and the playmates of Rose.
So if you're the one that's holdin' her tight
Somewhere out there at night
Please don't treat her as if she's just another girl
From off the street
And please don't do her wrong for her pride is almost gone
For you see Rose means the world to me
I love the girl you found out in the world
The girl that every man knows
But I love her today so different from your way
For you see I'm the brother of Rose...
Reuben James lyrics - Conway Twitty
Reuben James in my song you'll live again
And the phrases that I rhyme
Are just the footsteps out of time
From the time when I knew you, Reuben James.
Reuben James all the folks
Around Madison Caunty cussed your name
Just a no count sharecroppin' colored man
Who'd steal anything that he can
And they always laid the blame on, Reuben James.
Reuben James you still walk
The furrowed fields of my mind
The faded shirt the wrinkled brow
The calloused hand upon the plow
I loved you then and I love you now, Reuben James.
Flora Gray the gossip of Madison County died with the child
And although your skin was black
You were the one who didn't turn your back
On a hungry white child with no name, Reuben James.
Reuben James with your mind on my soul
And Bible in your right hand
You said turn the other cheek
There's a better world waitin' for the meek
In my mind these words remain from, Reuben James.
Reuben James you still walk
The furrowed fields of my mind
The faded shirt the wrinkled brow
The calloused hand upon the plow
I loved you then and I love you now, Reuben James.
Reuben James one cold dark day
They brought you from the fields
And that lonely pinebox came
Just a preacher me and the rain
To sing one last refrain for, Reuben James.
Reuben James you still walk
The furrowed fields of my mind
The faded shirt the wrinkled brow
The calloused hand upon the plow
I loved you then and I love you now, Reuben James...
And the phrases that I rhyme
Are just the footsteps out of time
From the time when I knew you, Reuben James.
Reuben James all the folks
Around Madison Caunty cussed your name
Just a no count sharecroppin' colored man
Who'd steal anything that he can
And they always laid the blame on, Reuben James.
Reuben James you still walk
The furrowed fields of my mind
The faded shirt the wrinkled brow
The calloused hand upon the plow
I loved you then and I love you now, Reuben James.
Flora Gray the gossip of Madison County died with the child
And although your skin was black
You were the one who didn't turn your back
On a hungry white child with no name, Reuben James.
Reuben James with your mind on my soul
And Bible in your right hand
You said turn the other cheek
There's a better world waitin' for the meek
In my mind these words remain from, Reuben James.
Reuben James you still walk
The furrowed fields of my mind
The faded shirt the wrinkled brow
The calloused hand upon the plow
I loved you then and I love you now, Reuben James.
Reuben James one cold dark day
They brought you from the fields
And that lonely pinebox came
Just a preacher me and the rain
To sing one last refrain for, Reuben James.
Reuben James you still walk
The furrowed fields of my mind
The faded shirt the wrinkled brow
The calloused hand upon the plow
I loved you then and I love you now, Reuben James...
I Never Once Stopped Loving You lyrics - Conway Twitty
The nights were dark and long, I spent a million all alone
But I never once stopped loving you.
My world was cold and still my dreams lay unfulfilled
But I never once stopped loving you.
I never once stopped believing
We'd love again the way we used to do
And today when you came back my patience was rewarded
For I never once stopped loving you.
I could have loved another but I chose the way and suffered
For I never once stopped loving you.
And I prayed to God to guide you till I could be beside you
And I never once stopped loving you.
I never once stopped believing
We'd love again the way we used to do
And today when you came back my patience was rewarded
For I never once stopped loving you...
But I never once stopped loving you.
My world was cold and still my dreams lay unfulfilled
But I never once stopped loving you.
I never once stopped believing
We'd love again the way we used to do
And today when you came back my patience was rewarded
For I never once stopped loving you.
I could have loved another but I chose the way and suffered
For I never once stopped loving you.
And I prayed to God to guide you till I could be beside you
And I never once stopped loving you.
I never once stopped believing
We'd love again the way we used to do
And today when you came back my patience was rewarded
For I never once stopped loving you...
Will You Visit Me On Sunday lyrics - Conway Twitty
Just outside these prison bars a hanging tree is waiting
At sunrise I'll meet darkness and death will say, Hello.
Darling, touch your lips to mine and tell me that you love me
And promise me again, before I go.
Will you visit me on Sunday, will you bring me pretty flowers
Will your big blue eyes be misty, will you brush away a tear
A grave is filled with silence, but if a sleeping man could hear
Darling, would I hear your footsteps up there?
Promise me that time won't seperate me from your mem'ry
That you'll remember me until the days of silver hair
If not for you I know I'd lose my mind before the morning
Hold me close and tell me that you care.
Will you visit me on Sunday, will you bring me pretty flowers
Will your big blue eyes be misty, will you brush away a tear
A grave is filled with silence, but if a sleeping man could hear
Darling, would I hear your footsteps up there?..
At sunrise I'll meet darkness and death will say, Hello.
Darling, touch your lips to mine and tell me that you love me
And promise me again, before I go.
Will you visit me on Sunday, will you bring me pretty flowers
Will your big blue eyes be misty, will you brush away a tear
A grave is filled with silence, but if a sleeping man could hear
Darling, would I hear your footsteps up there?
Promise me that time won't seperate me from your mem'ry
That you'll remember me until the days of silver hair
If not for you I know I'd lose my mind before the morning
Hold me close and tell me that you care.
Will you visit me on Sunday, will you bring me pretty flowers
Will your big blue eyes be misty, will you brush away a tear
A grave is filled with silence, but if a sleeping man could hear
Darling, would I hear your footsteps up there?..
Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain lyrics - Conway Twitty
In the twilight glow, I see her
Blue eyes cryin' in the rain;
As we kissed goodbye and parted,
I knew we'd never meet again.
Love is like a dying ember,
Only memories remain;
Through the ages I'll remember,
Blue eyes cryin' in the rain.
Now my hair has turned to silver,
All my life I've loved in vain;
I can see her star in heaven,
Blue eyes cryin' in the rain.
Someday when we meet up yonder,
We'll stroll hand in hand again;
And in a land that knows no parting,
Blue eyes crying in the rain.
Blue eyes crying in the rain...
Blue eyes cryin' in the rain;
As we kissed goodbye and parted,
I knew we'd never meet again.
Love is like a dying ember,
Only memories remain;
Through the ages I'll remember,
Blue eyes cryin' in the rain.
Now my hair has turned to silver,
All my life I've loved in vain;
I can see her star in heaven,
Blue eyes cryin' in the rain.
Someday when we meet up yonder,
We'll stroll hand in hand again;
And in a land that knows no parting,
Blue eyes crying in the rain.
Blue eyes crying in the rain...
I'm So Used To Loving You lyrics - Conway Twitty
I'm so used to loving you, sweetheart
You're on my mind each minute we're apart
And I love you more each day that we go through
Yes, you're my life and I'll live it, loving you.
I'm so used to loving you, it seems
I can't stand the thought of losing you
Not even in my dreams.
Hold me close and tell me what I'd do, without you
I couldn't stand it, I'm so used to loving you.
I'm so used to the little things you say
Like hello darlin', did you have a busy day
And the way you hold me close when day is through
Yes, you're my love and I love it loving you.
I'm so used to loving you, it seems
I can't stand the thought of losing you
Not even in my dreams.
Hold me close and tell me what I'd do, without you
I couldn't take it, I'm so used to loving you...
You're on my mind each minute we're apart
And I love you more each day that we go through
Yes, you're my life and I'll live it, loving you.
I'm so used to loving you, it seems
I can't stand the thought of losing you
Not even in my dreams.
Hold me close and tell me what I'd do, without you
I couldn't stand it, I'm so used to loving you.
I'm so used to the little things you say
Like hello darlin', did you have a busy day
And the way you hold me close when day is through
Yes, you're my love and I love it loving you.
I'm so used to loving you, it seems
I can't stand the thought of losing you
Not even in my dreams.
Hold me close and tell me what I'd do, without you
I couldn't take it, I'm so used to loving you...
House Of The Rising Sun lyrics - Conway Twitty
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And, Lord, I know I'm one
My mother was a tailor, boys
She sewed my old blue jeans
My daddy was a gamblin' man
Way down in New Orleans
I got one foot on the platform, boys
The other on that train
I'm going down to New Orleans
To pull that ball and chain
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And, Lord, I know I'm one
In the house of the Rising Sun
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And, Lord, I know I'm one
My mother was a tailor, boys
She sewed my old blue jeans
My daddy was a gamblin' man
Way down in New Orleans
I got one foot on the platform, boys
The other on that train
I'm going down to New Orleans
To pull that ball and chain
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And, Lord, I know I'm one
In the house of the Rising Sun
Be Proud Of Your Man lyrics - Conway Twitty
Darling, I love you, can't you see
So help me, and love me all you can
And if you love me, then love me
For what I am, not what I should be
Woman be proud of your man.
Walk with me, not on me,
Talk to me, not about me
Help me don't hurt me
Be proud of your man.
Laugh with me, not at me
Look at me, not through me
Face me, don't disgrace me
Be proud of your man.
Pull with me, not against me
See some good in the bad in me
Reassure me, don't destroy me
Be proud of your man.
Be behind me, not above me
Hold me, don't control me
Help me, don't hurt me
Be proud of your man.
Woman be proud of your man...
So help me, and love me all you can
And if you love me, then love me
For what I am, not what I should be
Woman be proud of your man.
Walk with me, not on me,
Talk to me, not about me
Help me don't hurt me
Be proud of your man.
Laugh with me, not at me
Look at me, not through me
Face me, don't disgrace me
Be proud of your man.
Pull with me, not against me
See some good in the bad in me
Reassure me, don't destroy me
Be proud of your man.
Be behind me, not above me
Hold me, don't control me
Help me, don't hurt me
Be proud of your man.
Woman be proud of your man...
These Lonely Hands Of Mine lyrics - Conway Twitty
Any girl who hangs out in a honky tonk who smokes my cigarettes and drinks my wine
Some call her a bad girl but to me she means the world
Cause she's holding these lonely hands of mine
She listens while I cry on her shoulder she runs her slender fingers through my hair
Other men may hold her tight but right now tonight
She's holding these lonely hands of mine
She's holding the hands that once held you so tight
She smiles each time I call her by your name
She listens to my same sad story every night
She says I'm right and she gives you the blame
Any girl who hangs out...
Cause she's holding these lonely hands of mine
Some call her a bad girl but to me she means the world
Cause she's holding these lonely hands of mine
She listens while I cry on her shoulder she runs her slender fingers through my hair
Other men may hold her tight but right now tonight
She's holding these lonely hands of mine
She's holding the hands that once held you so tight
She smiles each time I call her by your name
She listens to my same sad story every night
She says I'm right and she gives you the blame
Any girl who hangs out...
Cause she's holding these lonely hands of mine
To See My Angel Cry lyrics - Conway Twitty
See her there, see her crying,
She thinks she loves him so
She don't know how much it hurts me
To hear her beg him not to go.
If she were mine again
I'd never let the tears fill her eyes
She don't know how much it hurts me
To see an angel cry.
Once she built her world around me
But like a fool I tore it down
And she begged me not to leave her,
Just the way she's doing now.
Now, she's begging to another
With that same hurt in her eyes
She don't know how much it hurts me
To see an angel cry.
I didn't know how much I loved her
Till she turned and walked away
I didn't know how much I'd hurt her
Till I saw her here this way.
If she were mine I'd hold her forever
and dry the tears from her eyes
She don't know how much it hurts me
To see my angel cry.
She don't know how much it hurts me
To see my angel cry...
She thinks she loves him so
She don't know how much it hurts me
To hear her beg him not to go.
If she were mine again
I'd never let the tears fill her eyes
She don't know how much it hurts me
To see an angel cry.
Once she built her world around me
But like a fool I tore it down
And she begged me not to leave her,
Just the way she's doing now.
Now, she's begging to another
With that same hurt in her eyes
She don't know how much it hurts me
To see an angel cry.
I didn't know how much I loved her
Till she turned and walked away
I didn't know how much I'd hurt her
Till I saw her here this way.
If she were mine I'd hold her forever
and dry the tears from her eyes
She don't know how much it hurts me
To see my angel cry.
She don't know how much it hurts me
To see my angel cry...
My Heart Knows lyrics - Conway Twitty
You keep saying you love me
And I know it's not true
You just don't want to hurt me
I respect that in you.
You're in love with another
And you won't let it show
Oh, I hate to admit it
But it's sure my heart knows.
I thought I'd won when he lost
You I thought you'd forget
But there's still one old mem'ry
That you haven't lost yet.
I know I'd die when I lose you
I know I won't let you go
For you'd never be happy
This is true my heart knows.
So goodbye and God bless you
I'm setting you free
Just to know you'd be happy
Means so much to me.
I know I'd die when I lose you
I know I must let you go
For you'll never be happy
This is true my heart knows...
And I know it's not true
You just don't want to hurt me
I respect that in you.
You're in love with another
And you won't let it show
Oh, I hate to admit it
But it's sure my heart knows.
I thought I'd won when he lost
You I thought you'd forget
But there's still one old mem'ry
That you haven't lost yet.
I know I'd die when I lose you
I know I won't let you go
For you'd never be happy
This is true my heart knows.
So goodbye and God bless you
I'm setting you free
Just to know you'd be happy
Means so much to me.
I know I'd die when I lose you
I know I must let you go
For you'll never be happy
This is true my heart knows...
I'd Rather Be Gone lyrics - Conway Twitty
I feel like a stranger in this home I built for you
And I can't understand this awful change you're going through
But lately I've been watching you grow colder day by day
And I'd rather be gone than in your way.
I'd rather be gone than in your way
I'd rather see someone else here in my place
And if I decide on leaving my world will end today
But I'd rather be gone than in your way.
I'd rather be gone than in your way
I'd rather see someone else here in my place
And if I decide on leaving my world will end today
But I'd rather be gone than in your way...
And I can't understand this awful change you're going through
But lately I've been watching you grow colder day by day
And I'd rather be gone than in your way.
I'd rather be gone than in your way
I'd rather see someone else here in my place
And if I decide on leaving my world will end today
But I'd rather be gone than in your way.
I'd rather be gone than in your way
I'd rather see someone else here in my place
And if I decide on leaving my world will end today
But I'd rather be gone than in your way...
Okie From Muskogee lyrics - Conway Twitty
We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee
And we don't take our trips on LSD
We don't burn our draft cards down on Main Street
'Cause we like living right and being free.
We don't make a party out of loving
But we like holding hands and pitching woo
And we don't let our hair grow long and shaggy
Like the hippies out in San Francisco do.
And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee
A place where even squares can have a ball
And we still wave Ol' Glory down at the courthouse
And white lightning's still the biggest thrill of all.
Cowboy boots are still in style for manly footwear
Beads and Roman sandals won't be seen
And football's still the roughest thing on campus
And the kids here still respect the college dean.
And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee
A place where even squares can have a ball
And we still wave Ol' Glory down at the courthouse
And white lightning's still the biggest thrill of all.
In Muskogee, Oklahoma, U.S.A.
And we don't take our trips on LSD
We don't burn our draft cards down on Main Street
'Cause we like living right and being free.
We don't make a party out of loving
But we like holding hands and pitching woo
And we don't let our hair grow long and shaggy
Like the hippies out in San Francisco do.
And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee
A place where even squares can have a ball
And we still wave Ol' Glory down at the courthouse
And white lightning's still the biggest thrill of all.
Cowboy boots are still in style for manly footwear
Beads and Roman sandals won't be seen
And football's still the roughest thing on campus
And the kids here still respect the college dean.
And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee
A place where even squares can have a ball
And we still wave Ol' Glory down at the courthouse
And white lightning's still the biggest thrill of all.
In Muskogee, Oklahoma, U.S.A.
That's When She Started To Stop Loving You lyrics - Conway Twitty
Does she seem a little cold when you love her
Does she turn away when you hold her tight
Just search your soul and you will discover
How you hurt her, night after night.
And when was the first time she begged you to love her
But you turned away and acted like a fool
And when was the first time she lay there and cried
Well, that's when she started to stop loving you.
Do you wonder why she's turning to another
And if you love her you'd better tell her so
'Cause she's finding out that anyone will love her
And it won't be long 'till you'll have to let her go.
And when was the first time she begged you to love her
But you turned away and acted like a fool
And when was the first time she lay there and cried
Well, that's when she started to stop loving you...
Does she turn away when you hold her tight
Just search your soul and you will discover
How you hurt her, night after night.
And when was the first time she begged you to love her
But you turned away and acted like a fool
And when was the first time she lay there and cried
Well, that's when she started to stop loving you.
Do you wonder why she's turning to another
And if you love her you'd better tell her so
'Cause she's finding out that anyone will love her
And it won't be long 'till you'll have to let her go.
And when was the first time she begged you to love her
But you turned away and acted like a fool
And when was the first time she lay there and cried
Well, that's when she started to stop loving you...
Girl At The Bar lyrics - Conway Twitty
(Don't go too far with the girl at the bar)
(She'll only bring you misery)
A bottle on the table
Empty glass in trembling hand
Through tear dimmed eyes
I watch her as she talks to another man.
A picture of true loveliness
This girl I used to know
But then I found she slipped around
And I had to let her go.
Now it's all right to have a drink or two
With my old used to be
Or hold her while the jukebox plays
A tender melody
But don't go too far with the girl at the bar
She'll only bring you misery.
Not too many months ago
We planned our wedding vows
And I was the man who stood
Where you are standing now.
I believed the things she said
I gave my heart away
But they were lies and that is why
I'm all alone today.
This bottle and this empty glass
Are all that's left for me
She's found another heart to break
And has forgotten me.
Yes, I went too far
With the girl at the bar
heartaches now blur my memory
To her I'm just another used to be...
(She'll only bring you misery)
A bottle on the table
Empty glass in trembling hand
Through tear dimmed eyes
I watch her as she talks to another man.
A picture of true loveliness
This girl I used to know
But then I found she slipped around
And I had to let her go.
Now it's all right to have a drink or two
With my old used to be
Or hold her while the jukebox plays
A tender melody
But don't go too far with the girl at the bar
She'll only bring you misery.
Not too many months ago
We planned our wedding vows
And I was the man who stood
Where you are standing now.
I believed the things she said
I gave my heart away
But they were lies and that is why
I'm all alone today.
This bottle and this empty glass
Are all that's left for me
She's found another heart to break
And has forgotten me.
Yes, I went too far
With the girl at the bar
heartaches now blur my memory
To her I'm just another used to be...
I Did The Best I Could lyrics - Conway Twitty
(And I did the best I could with what I had)
When I first met you I promised you the world
And it was all because you were my favorite girl
Pretty things like diamond rings and all the things you never had
But I did the best I could with what I had.
I know you won't need a mansion on the hill
A big fine car a schauffer at the wheel
But time passed on and things went wrong
And all you ever got was sad
But I did the best I could with what I had.
And all I had was all the love in the world for one girl
And the promise to try hard someway to get ahead
But the promises I made I've broken and betrayed
But I did the best I could with what I had.
Yes, I did the best I could with what I had...
When I first met you I promised you the world
And it was all because you were my favorite girl
Pretty things like diamond rings and all the things you never had
But I did the best I could with what I had.
I know you won't need a mansion on the hill
A big fine car a schauffer at the wheel
But time passed on and things went wrong
And all you ever got was sad
But I did the best I could with what I had.
And all I had was all the love in the world for one girl
And the promise to try hard someway to get ahead
But the promises I made I've broken and betrayed
But I did the best I could with what I had.
Yes, I did the best I could with what I had...
I Love You More Today lyrics - Conway Twitty
I want you more than anything in the world
You mean more to me than any other girl
Now he's with you and things you do with him
We've done them for so long
I love you more today, than he can from now on.
I've kissed your tears away when you were sad
Held you close, felt your warm love when you were glad
So, no matter how much love he has for you or how long
I love you more today, than he can from now on.
We've already done the things he plans to do
So don't be surprised if late at night
I'm in your dreams with you.
And if someday his love for goes wrong
I love you more today, than he can from now on.
I love you more today, than he can from now on...
Star Spangled Heaven lyrics - Conway Twitty
Over the battle fields of all the great wars
Since the beginning of time Have walked perhaps
The bravest heroes of them all.
The men known simply by the soldiers as the Chaplain.
And this is the story of but one of the many
And many thousands who gave his life in the service
Of his God and his country.
There's a star spangled heaven for every soldier boy
Who fights to keep our country clean and free
So soldier trust in Jesus let him fill your heart with joy
He'll stand by you throughout eternity.
An old, old army chaplain who was stooped and bent with years
Was walkin' o'er the battle field his old eyes filled with tears.
He was searching for the wounded to try to ease their pain
And for those he knew would never live to rise and fight again.
For life for them was over their earthly cares were done
They had gone to meet their Saviour their battle had been won.
And I couldn't help but notice as he went from place to place
That each soldier boy had died fighting with a smile upon his face.
And I saw him kneel beside each one and slowly breathe the prayer
While the tears were streamin' down his face
And the wind blew through his hair.
And I could hear the big guns boomin' o'er the hill and not too far away
And as I turned to leave him that's when I heard him say.
There's a star spangled heaven for every soldier boy
Who fights to keep our country clean and free
So soldier trust in Jesus let him fill your heart with joy
He'll stand by you throughout eternity.
Though days and month and even years
Have slowly drifted by
And all we have are the mem'ries
Of our boys who have to die.
They're living with their Saviour beyond the crystal sea
In the Star Spangled Heaven throughout eternity...
Since the beginning of time Have walked perhaps
The bravest heroes of them all.
The men known simply by the soldiers as the Chaplain.
And this is the story of but one of the many
And many thousands who gave his life in the service
Of his God and his country.
There's a star spangled heaven for every soldier boy
Who fights to keep our country clean and free
So soldier trust in Jesus let him fill your heart with joy
He'll stand by you throughout eternity.
An old, old army chaplain who was stooped and bent with years
Was walkin' o'er the battle field his old eyes filled with tears.
He was searching for the wounded to try to ease their pain
And for those he knew would never live to rise and fight again.
For life for them was over their earthly cares were done
They had gone to meet their Saviour their battle had been won.
And I couldn't help but notice as he went from place to place
That each soldier boy had died fighting with a smile upon his face.
And I saw him kneel beside each one and slowly breathe the prayer
While the tears were streamin' down his face
And the wind blew through his hair.
And I could hear the big guns boomin' o'er the hill and not too far away
And as I turned to leave him that's when I heard him say.
There's a star spangled heaven for every soldier boy
Who fights to keep our country clean and free
So soldier trust in Jesus let him fill your heart with joy
He'll stand by you throughout eternity.
Though days and month and even years
Have slowly drifted by
And all we have are the mem'ries
Of our boys who have to die.
They're living with their Saviour beyond the crystal sea
In the Star Spangled Heaven throughout eternity...
Games People Play lyrics - Conway Twitty
Oh, the games people now
Every night and every day now
Never meanin' what they say now
Never sayin' what they mean.
So they wile away the hours in their ivory towers
Till they're covered up with flowers
In the back of a black limousine
Lotten da la da da da
Lotten da la a dee de dee
Talkin' bout you and me
And the games people play.
Oh, we make one another cry
Break a heart then we say goodbye
Cross our hearts and we hope to die
That the other one's to blame.
But neither one will ever give in
So we gaze at an eight by ten
Thinkin' 'bout the things that might have been
And it's a dirty rotten shame
Lotten da la da da da
Lotten da la a dee de dee
Talkin' bout you and me
And the games people play.
People walkin' up to ya singing glory hallelujah
And they're tryin' to sock it to ya in the name of the Lord
They're gonna teach you how to meditate
Read your horoscope and cheat your fate
And furthermore to hell with hate
Come on and get on board.
Lotten da la da da da
Lotten da la a dee de dee
Talkin' bout you and me
And the games people play.
Look around and tell me what you see
What's happened to you and me
God grand me the serenity to just remember who I am
'Cause you've given up your sanity
For your pride and your vanity
Turn your back on humanity
And you don't give a lot.
Lotten da la da da da
Lotten da la a dee de dee
Talkin' bout you and me
And the games people play...
Every night and every day now
Never meanin' what they say now
Never sayin' what they mean.
So they wile away the hours in their ivory towers
Till they're covered up with flowers
In the back of a black limousine
Lotten da la da da da
Lotten da la a dee de dee
Talkin' bout you and me
And the games people play.
Oh, we make one another cry
Break a heart then we say goodbye
Cross our hearts and we hope to die
That the other one's to blame.
But neither one will ever give in
So we gaze at an eight by ten
Thinkin' 'bout the things that might have been
And it's a dirty rotten shame
Lotten da la da da da
Lotten da la a dee de dee
Talkin' bout you and me
And the games people play.
People walkin' up to ya singing glory hallelujah
And they're tryin' to sock it to ya in the name of the Lord
They're gonna teach you how to meditate
Read your horoscope and cheat your fate
And furthermore to hell with hate
Come on and get on board.

And you don't give a lot.
Lotten da la da da da

Bottle In The Hand lyrics - Conway Twitty
Will I ask my old buddy to call her on the phone
He'll say I'm working late again, once more she'll be alone.
But I'll sit here in this barroom, just as long as I can
'Cause the bottle in the hand is much stronger than the man.
After all I've said and done she should leave me on the run
'Cause I've hurt her just as much as I can.
But I'll keep up my sinful living and she'll go on forgiving
She knows the bottle in the hand
Is much stronger than the man.
I'd go home if I was able cause that night life's gettin' old
Like the food on my table our love is growing cold.
But she goes to bed each evening without her loving man
Because the bottle in the hand is much stronger than the man.
After all I've said and done she should leave me on the run
'Cause I've hurt her just as much as I can.
But I'll keep up my sinful living and she'll go on forgiving
She knows the bottle in the hand
Is much stronger than the man...
He'll say I'm working late again, once more she'll be alone.
But I'll sit here in this barroom, just as long as I can
'Cause the bottle in the hand is much stronger than the man.
After all I've said and done she should leave me on the run
'Cause I've hurt her just as much as I can.
But I'll keep up my sinful living and she'll go on forgiving
She knows the bottle in the hand
Is much stronger than the man.
I'd go home if I was able cause that night life's gettin' old
Like the food on my table our love is growing cold.
But she goes to bed each evening without her loving man
Because the bottle in the hand is much stronger than the man.
After all I've said and done she should leave me on the run
'Cause I've hurt her just as much as I can.
But I'll keep up my sinful living and she'll go on forgiving
She knows the bottle in the hand
Is much stronger than the man...
Crazy Arms lyrics - Conway Twitty
Now blue ain't the word for the way that I feel
And the storm is brewing in this heart of mine
This ain't no crazy dream I know that it's real
You're someone else's love now you're not mine.
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
And my yearning heart keeps saying you're not mine
My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed
And that's why I'm lonely all the time.
So take back the treasured dreams I have for you and me
And take all the love I thought was mine
This ain't no crazy dream I know that it's real
You're someone else's love now you're not mine.
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
And my yearning heart keeps saying you're not mine
My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed
And that's why I'm lonely all the time...
And the storm is brewing in this heart of mine
This ain't no crazy dream I know that it's real
You're someone else's love now you're not mine.
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
And my yearning heart keeps saying you're not mine
My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed
And that's why I'm lonely all the time.
So take back the treasured dreams I have for you and me
And take all the love I thought was mine
This ain't no crazy dream I know that it's real
You're someone else's love now you're not mine.
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
And my yearning heart keeps saying you're not mine
My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed
And that's why I'm lonely all the time...
Johnny B. Goode lyrics - Conway Twitty
(originally by Chuck Berry)
Well, down in Lousiana, close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods, 'neath the evergreens
There stands a log cabin made of earth and wood
Where lived a little country boy named Johnny B. Goode
He never ever learned to read or write so well
He could play a guitar just like a-ringin' a bell
Go, go, go, Johnny, go, go, go, Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go, go, Johnny, go, go, Johnny B. Goode
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
The engineer would see him sittin' in the shade
Strummin' through the rhythm that the drivers made
The people passin' by, they would stop and say
My, how that little country boy can play
Go, go, go, Johnny, go, go
Well, his mama told him: Someday, you will be a man
You will be the leader of a country band
The people gonna come from miles around
To hear you play your music when the sun goes down
Maybe, someday, your name will be at lights
Sayin': Johnny B Goode tonight
Yeah, go, go, go, Johnny, go, go
Well, down in Lousiana, close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods, 'neath the evergreens
There stands a log cabin made of earth and wood
Where lived a little country boy named Johnny B. Goode
He never ever learned to read or write so well
He could play a guitar just like a-ringin' a bell
Go, go, go, Johnny, go, go, go, Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go, go, Johnny, go, go, Johnny B. Goode
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
The engineer would see him sittin' in the shade
Strummin' through the rhythm that the drivers made
The people passin' by, they would stop and say
My, how that little country boy can play
Go, go, go, Johnny, go, go
Well, his mama told him: Someday, you will be a man
You will be the leader of a country band
The people gonna come from miles around
To hear you play your music when the sun goes down
Maybe, someday, your name will be at lights
Sayin': Johnny B Goode tonight
Yeah, go, go, go, Johnny, go, go
Proud Mary lyrics - Conway Twitty
Left a good job in the city
A workin' for the man every night and day
And I never lost a minute of sleep
While worryin' 'bout the way
Things might have been
The big wheels keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keeps on burnin'
Rollin', rollin',
Rollin' on the river.
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Copped a lot of cane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
Till I hitched a ride on a river boat queen.
The big wheels keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keeps on burnin'
Rollin', rollin',
Rollin' on the river.
If you come down to the river
I bet you gonna find the people who live
You don't have to worry if you have no money
People on the river are happy to give
The big wheels keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keeps on burnin'
Rollin', rollin',
Rollin' on the river.
Rollin' rollin'
Rollin' on the river
Rollin' rollin'
Rollin' on the river...
A workin' for the man every night and day
And I never lost a minute of sleep
While worryin' 'bout the way
Things might have been
The big wheels keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keeps on burnin'
Rollin', rollin',
Rollin' on the river.
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Copped a lot of cane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
Till I hitched a ride on a river boat queen.
The big wheels keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keeps on burnin'
Rollin', rollin',
Rollin' on the river.
If you come down to the river
I bet you gonna find the people who live
You don't have to worry if you have no money
People on the river are happy to give
The big wheels keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keeps on burnin'
Rollin', rollin',
Rollin' on the river.
Rollin' rollin'
Rollin' on the river
Rollin' rollin'
Rollin' on the river...
