I walked in and there you sat
I wanted you; there was no holding back
Those innocent eyes, the way you laughed
You touched me I seem to remember that.
But I don't remember going crazy
Somehow I lost control
What was that song they were playing?
I remember dancing slow and I was holding you so tightly
Some thing I just had to do
I don't remember going crazy, but I did for you.
No secrets, no room for lies
We shared so much in so little time
That's why they say love is blind
It was the last thing on my mind.
But I don't remember going crazy
Somehow I lost control
What was that song they were playing?
I remember dancing slow and I was holding you so tightly
Some thing I just had to do
I don't remember going crazy, but I did for you...
They Only Come Out At Night lyrics - Conway Twitty
I've seen you out with your in crowd
Holdin' somebody and laughin' loud
That was me, you know
Whose eyes were burning through you
Someone rings you late at night
But no one says hello at the end of your line
That was me, you know
Breathing warm in your ear
All day, I do fine
Those sweet old memories never cross my mind
Oh, they only come out at night
When you look out your window and it's three o' clock
Some fool's ridin' round and round your block
That's me, you know
Driving myself crazy
And when you hear a rustle or the back door squeak
Turn off the lights and go back to sleep
That's me, you know
Haunted by what used to be
All day, I do fine
Those sweet old memories never cross my mind
Oh, they only come out at night
All day, I do fine
Those sweet old memories never cross my mind
Oh, they only come out at night
Oh, they only come out at night
Holdin' somebody and laughin' loud
That was me, you know
Whose eyes were burning through you
Someone rings you late at night
But no one says hello at the end of your line
That was me, you know
Breathing warm in your ear
All day, I do fine
Those sweet old memories never cross my mind
Oh, they only come out at night
When you look out your window and it's three o' clock
Some fool's ridin' round and round your block
That's me, you know
Driving myself crazy
And when you hear a rustle or the back door squeak
Turn off the lights and go back to sleep
That's me, you know
Haunted by what used to be
All day, I do fine
Those sweet old memories never cross my mind
Oh, they only come out at night
All day, I do fine
Those sweet old memories never cross my mind
Oh, they only come out at night
Oh, they only come out at night
Jenny's Souvenirs lyrics - Conway Twitty
Exchanging, yes, I do's
Forever's coming true
Two needing hearts unite
Captured in black and white
Gathered on yellowed walls
Sixty years says it all
The loving, the laughter, still after years
Are kept alive in Jenny's souvenirs
Tickets from picture shows
Dried roses, Christmas bows
Keepsakes from country fairs
Stocked up her vintage wears
She'd never throw them out
Things they could live without
He'd kid her and tell her, "You're silly, dear"
And he would laugh at Jenny's souvenirs
Shines on his shaking hand
That ageless wedding band
Reminds him and finds him without her near
And now he lives on Jenny's souvenirs
He gets by on Jenny's souvenirs
Forever's coming true
Two needing hearts unite
Captured in black and white
Gathered on yellowed walls
Sixty years says it all
The loving, the laughter, still after years
Are kept alive in Jenny's souvenirs
Tickets from picture shows
Dried roses, Christmas bows
Keepsakes from country fairs
Stocked up her vintage wears
She'd never throw them out
Things they could live without
He'd kid her and tell her, "You're silly, dear"
And he would laugh at Jenny's souvenirs
Shines on his shaking hand
That ageless wedding band
Reminds him and finds him without her near
And now he lives on Jenny's souvenirs
He gets by on Jenny's souvenirs
Julia lyrics - Conway Twitty
You were always there for me, Julia.
I was so afraid to fall in love.
I thought you'd wait for me,
Is it too late for me now?
Have you given up?
How it must have hurt you, Julia.
Waitin' for your love to be returned.
I never knew how.
What can I do now that I
Have finally learned?
I never thought that love could hurt me,
Now I tremble at the thought of losing you.
And all the perfect words desert me now,
Just in case it matters,
I love you.
May I have this dance with you, Julia?
Won't you let me hold you one more time?
The music is over,
But I'll hold you closer this time, Julia.
Julia.
I was so afraid to fall in love.
I thought you'd wait for me,
Is it too late for me now?
Have you given up?
How it must have hurt you, Julia.
Waitin' for your love to be returned.
I never knew how.
What can I do now that I
Have finally learned?
I never thought that love could hurt me,
Now I tremble at the thought of losing you.
And all the perfect words desert me now,
Just in case it matters,
I love you.
May I have this dance with you, Julia?
Won't you let me hold you one more time?
The music is over,
But I'll hold you closer this time, Julia.
Julia.
Lonely Town lyrics - Conway Twitty
She gave into him last night
She thought he was Mr. Right
But he left like all the others
Before the morning came around
Same old story in lonely town
The sun comes up, the heart goes down
She's tried everything she knows
Come so far and yet so close
She keeps searching for the magic
But it's nowhere to be found
But that's how it is in lonely town
The sun comes up, the heart goes down
There's got to be a way out
Someday she'll find it, she won't always be alone
The one she's been waitin' for
Will turn her life around and take her away
From this lonely town
The sun comes up, the heart goes down
There's got to be a way out
Someday she'll find it, she won't always be alone
The one she's been waitin' for
Will turn her life around and take her away
From this lonely town
Where the sun comes up, the heart goes down
No more living in this lonely town
She thought he was Mr. Right
But he left like all the others
Before the morning came around
Same old story in lonely town
The sun comes up, the heart goes down
She's tried everything she knows
Come so far and yet so close
She keeps searching for the magic
But it's nowhere to be found
But that's how it is in lonely town
The sun comes up, the heart goes down
There's got to be a way out
Someday she'll find it, she won't always be alone
The one she's been waitin' for
Will turn her life around and take her away
From this lonely town
The sun comes up, the heart goes down
There's got to be a way out
Someday she'll find it, she won't always be alone
The one she's been waitin' for
Will turn her life around and take her away
From this lonely town
Where the sun comes up, the heart goes down
No more living in this lonely town
I Want To Know You Before We Make Love lyrics - Conway Twitty
Sometimes all you need is someone to hold you
Sometimes that's all you're looking for
I'd like to take the time to get to know you
I don't want this time to be like all the times before.
I want to hold you before I make love to you
I want to show you all of my heart
And when I look into your eyes
I want to feel the love inside, you
I want to know you before we make love.
I've learned from all those lonely nights with strangers
It takes time for real love to be found
I feel the invitation of your body
I'd like to look inside your soul before I lay you down.
I want to hold you before I make love to you
I want to show you all of my heart
And when I look into your eyes
I want to feel the love inside, you
I want to know you before we make love.
I want to hold you before I make love to you
I want to show you all of my heart
And when I look into those eyes
I want to feel the love inside, you
I want to know you before we make
Before we make, love...
Sometimes that's all you're looking for
I'd like to take the time to get to know you
I don't want this time to be like all the times before.
I want to hold you before I make love to you
I want to show you all of my heart
And when I look into your eyes
I want to feel the love inside, you
I want to know you before we make love.
I've learned from all those lonely nights with strangers
It takes time for real love to be found
I feel the invitation of your body
I'd like to look inside your soul before I lay you down.
I want to hold you before I make love to you
I want to show you all of my heart
And when I look into your eyes
I want to feel the love inside, you
I want to know you before we make love.
I want to hold you before I make love to you
I want to show you all of my heart
And when I look into those eyes
I want to feel the love inside, you
I want to know you before we make
Before we make, love...
Borderline lyrics - Conway Twitty
A man can only last so long.
Before temptation gets too strong.
But I'm doin' all I know to do.
To try and stay away from you.
But I'm right on the Borderline.
You know I got a woman at home.
That I sure hate to leave alone.
But still you just keep comin' on
Like I'm not made of flesh and bone.
You got me right on the Borderline.
Borderline. Don't let me cross over.
She's right behind me in the moonlight.
Lord knows, I've tried to think of my lover.
Borderline. Don't let me cross her tonight.
Promises are easy made.
In the heat of passion, light of day.
But let that daylight start to fade
And your best laid plans might get mis-layed.
When you're right on the Borderline.
Borderline. Don't let me cross over.
She's right behind me in the moonlight.
Lord knows, I've tried to think of my lover.
Borderline. Don't let me cross her tonight.
Borderline. Don't let me cross her tonight.
Borderline. Don't let me cross her tonight...
Before temptation gets too strong.
But I'm doin' all I know to do.
To try and stay away from you.
But I'm right on the Borderline.
You know I got a woman at home.
That I sure hate to leave alone.
But still you just keep comin' on
Like I'm not made of flesh and bone.
You got me right on the Borderline.
Borderline. Don't let me cross over.
She's right behind me in the moonlight.
Lord knows, I've tried to think of my lover.
Borderline. Don't let me cross her tonight.
Promises are easy made.
In the heat of passion, light of day.
But let that daylight start to fade
And your best laid plans might get mis-layed.
When you're right on the Borderline.
Borderline. Don't let me cross over.
She's right behind me in the moonlight.
Lord knows, I've tried to think of my lover.
Borderline. Don't let me cross her tonight.
Borderline. Don't let me cross her tonight.
Borderline. Don't let me cross her tonight...
Not Enough Love To Go 'round lyrics - Conway Twitty
You know I've always tried
To never take love for granted
As you know. 'Cause if you ever
Said goodbye why, I just don't know
What I'd ever do with out you. baby.
Well, all of the friends we know
Are lettin' each other go, there own way
Will they ever find love again
Or will the whole world end up lonely?
Cause baby, just as sure as that old sun'll go down
Somewhere tonight you'll hear a heart breakin' sound
Maybe this'll be a lonely old town
If there's not enough love to go 'round.
Sometimes it's just a little hard
To keep a love like ours together.
But I promise you one thing, girl
No matter what, I'm gonna love you forever.
All up and down street
Are people who really need each other
And only a lucky few
Learn how to hold onto each other.
Cause baby, just as sure as that old sun'll go down
Somewhere tonight you'll hear a heart breakin' sound
Maybe this'll be a lonely old town
If there's not enough love to go 'round.
Maybe this'll be a lonely old town
If there's not enough love to go 'round
To never take love for granted
As you know. 'Cause if you ever
Said goodbye why, I just don't know
What I'd ever do with out you. baby.
Well, all of the friends we know
Are lettin' each other go, there own way
Will they ever find love again
Or will the whole world end up lonely?
Cause baby, just as sure as that old sun'll go down
Somewhere tonight you'll hear a heart breakin' sound
Maybe this'll be a lonely old town
If there's not enough love to go 'round.
Sometimes it's just a little hard
To keep a love like ours together.
But I promise you one thing, girl
No matter what, I'm gonna love you forever.
All up and down street
Are people who really need each other
And only a lucky few
Learn how to hold onto each other.
Cause baby, just as sure as that old sun'll go down
Somewhere tonight you'll hear a heart breakin' sound
Maybe this'll be a lonely old town
If there's not enough love to go 'round.
Maybe this'll be a lonely old town
If there's not enough love to go 'round
Snake Boots lyrics - Conway Twitty
Well, I was working this joint in Dallas
To make the payment on my car
Just a weekend stand with a local band
They had me playin' rhythm guitar.
Well, I was singin' some old cheatin' song
When this blue-eyed blonde came by
She said, I'm a table over in the corner
Why don't you drop around and say hi
So, I did.
Well, she was dressed like a million dollars
But she was way up outta my class
She whispered into my ear, honey I hear
A honky tonk man moves fast.
All of the sudden my body went numb
I had enough sense to see
That everything I ever wanted in life
Was coming to easy for me.
So I said, "Wait just a minute,
Wait, just a cotton-pickin' minute."
You better not get caught in the desert
Without your snake boots on
You don't lay down on the railroad tracks
'Til after the train is gone.
You don't swim out in deep water
With your pockets full of stone
You don't get caught in the desert, son,
Without your snake boots on.
Well, she was quicker that a boys good judgment
So, we were headed for the parkin' lot
When a guy in the band said, "Wait a minute, man
Lord, are you crazy or what?"
"Well, ole big bad Tex is her lover
And, he's terribly skilled with a knife
He's real particular 'bout who rides his horse
And, nobody fools with his wife."
So, I said, "Wait just a minute,
Wait just a dang minute."
You better not get caught in the desert
Without your snake boots on
You don't lay down on the railroad tracks
'Til after the train is gone.
You don't swim out in deep water
With your pockets full of stone
You don't get caught in the desert, nah,
Without your snake boots on.
You don't get caught in the desert, son,
Without your snake boots on.
Hey, watch out for that snake
To make the payment on my car
Just a weekend stand with a local band
They had me playin' rhythm guitar.
Well, I was singin' some old cheatin' song
When this blue-eyed blonde came by
She said, I'm a table over in the corner
Why don't you drop around and say hi
So, I did.
Well, she was dressed like a million dollars
But she was way up outta my class
She whispered into my ear, honey I hear
A honky tonk man moves fast.
All of the sudden my body went numb
I had enough sense to see
That everything I ever wanted in life
Was coming to easy for me.
So I said, "Wait just a minute,
Wait, just a cotton-pickin' minute."
You better not get caught in the desert
Without your snake boots on
You don't lay down on the railroad tracks
'Til after the train is gone.
You don't swim out in deep water
With your pockets full of stone
You don't get caught in the desert, son,

You don't get caught in the desert, son,

Hey, watch out for that snake
I'm For Awhile lyrics - Conway Twitty
I don't want our love to be like a song,
Just long enough to hang a memory on.
I want tomorrow's sunrise to be,
for us the dawn of history.
I'm not a one night rider,
Bed and breakfast ain't my style.
I'm for awhile.
Here today, here tomorrow.
Here when the babies are grown,
Believe you me, in the 21st century,
you'll still have me for your own.
Trying to make you smile,
I'm for awhile.
I guess you could say
I'm coming on to you,
But it's a long term proposition.
I'm here to love you
And love should be forever,
Please understand my positon.
I'm not much like the lone ranger,
Disappearing ain't my style.
I'm for awhile.
Here today, here tomorrow.
Here when the babies are grown,
Believe you me,
In the 21st century,
You'll still have me for your own,
Trying to make you smile
I'm for awhile.
I don't want our love to be like a song,
Just long enough to hang a memory on...
Just long enough to hang a memory on.
I want tomorrow's sunrise to be,
for us the dawn of history.
I'm not a one night rider,
Bed and breakfast ain't my style.
I'm for awhile.
Here today, here tomorrow.
Here when the babies are grown,
Believe you me, in the 21st century,
you'll still have me for your own.
Trying to make you smile,
I'm for awhile.
I guess you could say
I'm coming on to you,
But it's a long term proposition.
I'm here to love you
And love should be forever,
Please understand my positon.
I'm not much like the lone ranger,
Disappearing ain't my style.
I'm for awhile.
Here today, here tomorrow.
Here when the babies are grown,
Believe you me,
In the 21st century,
You'll still have me for your own,
Trying to make you smile
I'm for awhile.
I don't want our love to be like a song,
Just long enough to hang a memory on...
Fifteen To Forty-Three lyrics - Conway Twitty
I just cut the string
On a dusty old shoe box
And opened a door to the past
Now I'm sittin' here with my souvenirs
And these faded old photographs.
Fightin' back tears
Lookin' back through the years
And wonderin' why dreams fade so fast
Now the young boy I see
Don't look like the me
Reflected in this old looking glass.
The man in the mirror
Sees things so much clearer
Than the boy in the pictures
With his eyes full of dreams
Oh, the men that I've tried to be
From fifteen to forty-three
Never believed that they'd end up like me.
There's that touchdown I caught
Back when I thought
I'd play for the cowboys someday
There's you holding me in my faded fatigues
Comin' home to the U.S.A.
One after another
All my sweet dreams and lovers
Pass before my tear filled eyes
Pictures of a fool
Who was selfish and cruel
Till the day he made you say goodbye.
The man in the mirror
Sees things so much clearer
Than the boy in the pictures
With his eyes full of dreams
Oh the men that I've tried to be
From fifteen to forty-three
Never believed that they'd end up like me.
Oh, I never believed I'd be lonely like me...
On a dusty old shoe box
And opened a door to the past
Now I'm sittin' here with my souvenirs
And these faded old photographs.
Fightin' back tears
Lookin' back through the years
And wonderin' why dreams fade so fast
Now the young boy I see
Don't look like the me
Reflected in this old looking glass.
The man in the mirror
Sees things so much clearer
Than the boy in the pictures
With his eyes full of dreams
Oh, the men that I've tried to be
From fifteen to forty-three
Never believed that they'd end up like me.
There's that touchdown I caught
Back when I thought
I'd play for the cowboys someday
There's you holding me in my faded fatigues
Comin' home to the U.S.A.
One after another
All my sweet dreams and lovers
Pass before my tear filled eyes
Pictures of a fool
Who was selfish and cruel
Till the day he made you say goodbye.
The man in the mirror
Sees things so much clearer
Than the boy in the pictures
With his eyes full of dreams
Oh the men that I've tried to be
From fifteen to forty-three
Never believed that they'd end up like me.
Oh, I never believed I'd be lonely like me...
That's My Job lyrics - Conway Twitty
I woke up cryin' late at night when I was very young
I had dreamed my father had passed away and gone
My world revolved around him, I couldn't lie there anymore
So I made my way down the mirrored hall
And tapped upon his door
And I said, "Daddy, I'm so afraid
How will I go on, with you gone that way?
Don't wanna cry anymore so may I stay with you?"
And he said, "That's my job, that's what I do
Everything I do is because of you
To keep you safe with me, that's my job, you see."
Later we barely got along, this teenage boy and he
Most of the fights it seems were over different dreams
We each held for me
He wanted knowledge and learning, I wanted to fly out west
I said, "I could make it out there if I just had the fare
I got half, will you loan me the rest?"
And I said, "Daddy, I'm so afraid
There's no guarantee in the plans I've made
And if I should fail, who will pay my way back home?"
And he said, "That's my job, that's what I do
Everything I do is because of you
To keep you safe with me, that's my job, you see."
Every person carves his spot and fills the hole with life
And I pray someday I might light as bright as he
Woke up early one bright fall day to spread the tragic news
After all my travel, I settled down within a mile or two
I make my livin' with words and rhymes and all this tragedy
Should go into my head and out instead as bits of poetry
But I say, "Daddy I'm so afraid
How will I go on with you gone this way?
How can I come up with a song to say, I love you?"
"That's my job, that's what I do
Everything I do is because of you
To keep you safe with me, that's my job, you see."
"Everything I do is because of you
To keep you safe with me."
I had dreamed my father had passed away and gone
My world revolved around him, I couldn't lie there anymore
So I made my way down the mirrored hall
And tapped upon his door
And I said, "Daddy, I'm so afraid
How will I go on, with you gone that way?
Don't wanna cry anymore so may I stay with you?"
And he said, "That's my job, that's what I do
Everything I do is because of you
To keep you safe with me, that's my job, you see."

Thing Of The Past lyrics - Conway Twitty
One way ticket, window seat
Heartache at 30,000 feet
The future fades into memories.
I'll get by somehow.
Three point landing at L.A.X.
Pockets filled with traveller's cheques
Passenger filled with regrets
It's all too clear to me now.
We're just like "I Love Lucy" and drive-in movies
and cars that run on regular gas.
War love letters and high school sweaters
Beetle boots and bell bottom pants.
Like autumn leaves fallin' from the trees
And all the things that weren't meant to last.
It's sad to find that you and I are nothing
But a thing of the past.
No one's waitin' to meet my plane
Two thousand miles and I feel the same.
Only the hotel clerk knows my name
And that's just fine with me.
Out the window the crowded streets are lined
with people with someone to meet.
While I sit here keepin' company
With what used to be.
We're just like "I Love Lucy" and drive- in movies
And cars that run on regular gas.
War love letters and high school sweaters.
Beetle boots and bell bottom pants.
Like autumn leaves fallin' from the trees
And all the things that weren't meant to last.
It's sad to find that you and I are nothin'
But a thing of the past.
It's sad to find that you and I are nothin'
But a thing of the past...
Heartache at 30,000 feet
The future fades into memories.
I'll get by somehow.
Three point landing at L.A.X.
Pockets filled with traveller's cheques
Passenger filled with regrets
It's all too clear to me now.
We're just like "I Love Lucy" and drive-in movies
and cars that run on regular gas.
War love letters and high school sweaters
Beetle boots and bell bottom pants.
Like autumn leaves fallin' from the trees
And all the things that weren't meant to last.
It's sad to find that you and I are nothing
But a thing of the past.
No one's waitin' to meet my plane
Two thousand miles and I feel the same.
Only the hotel clerk knows my name
And that's just fine with me.
Out the window the crowded streets are lined
with people with someone to meet.
While I sit here keepin' company
With what used to be.
We're just like "I Love Lucy" and drive- in movies
And cars that run on regular gas.
War love letters and high school sweaters.
Beetle boots and bell bottom pants.
Like autumn leaves fallin' from the trees
And all the things that weren't meant to last.
It's sad to find that you and I are nothin'
But a thing of the past.
It's sad to find that you and I are nothin'
But a thing of the past...
Desperado Love lyrics - Conway Twitty
Should I just ride in and steal you away
Don't know what else to do
I've got a desperado, love for you
You say you belong to another man
The first time we met I knew
That I have a desperado, love for you.
I know that it breaks every law
To feel the way I'm feelin'
But I want your love so desperately
I don't see the wrong in stealin'
So hold on I'm gonna shoot for the heart
Like desperados do
I've got a desperado, love for you.
It's so wrong to take what isn't mine
And head out for the border
But I can't look at you and have
Respect for law and order
So hold on I'm gonna' shoot for the heart
Like desperados do
I've got a desperado, love for you.
I've got a desperado, love for you...
Don't know what else to do
I've got a desperado, love for you
You say you belong to another man
The first time we met I knew
That I have a desperado, love for you.
I know that it breaks every law
To feel the way I'm feelin'
But I want your love so desperately
I don't see the wrong in stealin'
So hold on I'm gonna shoot for the heart
Like desperados do
I've got a desperado, love for you.
It's so wrong to take what isn't mine
And head out for the border
But I can't look at you and have
Respect for law and order
So hold on I'm gonna' shoot for the heart
Like desperados do
I've got a desperado, love for you.
I've got a desperado, love for you...
Steady As She Goes lyrics - Conway Twitty
I thought she'd never sail away
I thought her love was here to stay
I thought my arms were her safe harbor
But today a storm came up
And I'm about to lose her love
Leavin' me in troubled water
When she's gone I'll break apart
But 'til then I'll tell my heart.
Steady as she goes.
It's a hurtin' wind that blows.
You're sinking like a stone.
But heart keep holdin' on.
Steady as she goes.
Heart don't let her know.
Don't let your feelins' show
'Til she's completely gone.
Steady as she goes.
While she sails to someone else
I'll just keep it to myself
That I'd give anything to keep her
I can't change the changin' tide
I can't change her changin' mind
And tears just make the ocean deeper
'Til she's forever out of sight
I'll tell my heart to hold on tight.
Steady as she goes.
It's a hurtin' wind that blows.
You're sinkin' like a stone
but heart keep holdin' on.
Steady as she goes.
Heart don't let her know.
Don't let your feelins' show
'Til she's completely gone.
Steady as she goes.
Steady as she goes.
Heart don't let her know.
Don't let your feelins' show
'Til she's completely gone.
Steady as she goes...
I thought her love was here to stay
I thought my arms were her safe harbor
But today a storm came up
And I'm about to lose her love
Leavin' me in troubled water
When she's gone I'll break apart
But 'til then I'll tell my heart.
Steady as she goes.
It's a hurtin' wind that blows.
You're sinking like a stone.
But heart keep holdin' on.
Steady as she goes.
Heart don't let her know.
Don't let your feelins' show
'Til she's completely gone.
Steady as she goes.
While she sails to someone else
I'll just keep it to myself
That I'd give anything to keep her
I can't change the changin' tide
I can't change her changin' mind
And tears just make the ocean deeper
'Til she's forever out of sight
I'll tell my heart to hold on tight.
Steady as she goes.
It's a hurtin' wind that blows.
You're sinkin' like a stone
but heart keep holdin' on.
Steady as she goes.
Heart don't let her know.
Don't let your feelins' show
'Til she's completely gone.
Steady as she goes.
Steady as she goes.
Heart don't let her know.
Don't let your feelins' show
'Til she's completely gone.
Steady as she goes...
Fallin' For You For Years lyrics - Conway Twitty
Lookin' at us they'd think that we just met
And only been in love a night or two
They see a beautiful woman
In the shadows with a man
And all they see is a weekend rendezvous
Guess we look like cheaters
Lovers lyin' low
We must be decievers
'Cause baby they don't know
I've been fallin' for you for years
Can't get over the feel of you
Something in the way you make your moves
I've been fallin' for you for years
Runnin' deep, runnin' strong
It's been goin' on and on, for years
You make it easy to be a one woman man
Just look at you sitting there
Your eyes are talkin' in that soft and sexy way
Sayin' let's slip away, slip away somewhere
It don't take a rainy night or music in the dark
But, baby, when your body sends a message to my heart
I've been fallin' for you for years
Can't get over the feel of you
Something in the way you make your moves
I've been fallin' for you for years
Runnin' deep, runnin' strong
It's been goin' on and on and on and on.
I've been fallin' for you for years
Can't get over the feel of you
Something in the way you make your moves
I've been fallin' for you for years
Runnin' deep, runnin' strong
It's been goin' on and on and on and on and on
(Fallin' for you for years ...)
And only been in love a night or two
They see a beautiful woman
In the shadows with a man
And all they see is a weekend rendezvous
Guess we look like cheaters
Lovers lyin' low
We must be decievers
'Cause baby they don't know
I've been fallin' for you for years
Can't get over the feel of you
Something in the way you make your moves
I've been fallin' for you for years
Runnin' deep, runnin' strong
It's been goin' on and on, for years
You make it easy to be a one woman man
Just look at you sitting there
Your eyes are talkin' in that soft and sexy way
Sayin' let's slip away, slip away somewhere
It don't take a rainy night or music in the dark
But, baby, when your body sends a message to my heart
I've been fallin' for you for years
Can't get over the feel of you
Something in the way you make your moves
I've been fallin' for you for years
Runnin' deep, runnin' strong
It's been goin' on and on and on and on.
I've been fallin' for you for years
Can't get over the feel of you
Something in the way you make your moves
I've been fallin' for you for years
Runnin' deep, runnin' strong
It's been goin' on and on and on and on and on
(Fallin' for you for years ...)
Riverboat Gamblers lyrics - Conway Twitty
Like a pair of riverboat gambler
We both seen our share of losing hands
We layed our hearts out on the table
Hoping love is strong enough to win.
But when love's been dealing off the bottom
You always want to cut the cards again.
And girl, unless you're only bluffing,
This time we're both cashing in.
Like a pair of riverboat gamblers
Playin' the odds that love is coming in.
You're the queen of hearts I'm countin' on.
The one this Joker's money is on to win.
I've got a solitary feeling
I'll never have to ante up again.
If a couple of riverboat gamblers get lucky
We just might win a hand.
Once you've lost your heart to cheaters
Your dreams of winning love begin to die.
When you wake up with a stranger
You know there's no diamonds in the sky.
So girl, let's put our hands together.
We ain't got nothin' left to lose.
Except the chance that we might make it
And that's a deal we can't refuse.
Like a pair of riverboat gamblers
Playin' the odds that love is comin' in.
You're the queen of hearts I'm countin' on.
The one this Joker's money is on to win.
I've got a solitary feelin'
I'll never have to ante up again.
If a couple of riverboat gamblers get lucky
We just might win a hand.
If a couple of riverboat gamblers get lucky
A pair might win a hand...
We both seen our share of losing hands
We layed our hearts out on the table
Hoping love is strong enough to win.
But when love's been dealing off the bottom
You always want to cut the cards again.
And girl, unless you're only bluffing,
This time we're both cashing in.
Like a pair of riverboat gamblers
Playin' the odds that love is coming in.
You're the queen of hearts I'm countin' on.
The one this Joker's money is on to win.
I've got a solitary feeling
I'll never have to ante up again.
If a couple of riverboat gamblers get lucky
We just might win a hand.
Once you've lost your heart to cheaters
Your dreams of winning love begin to die.
When you wake up with a stranger
You know there's no diamonds in the sky.
So girl, let's put our hands together.
We ain't got nothin' left to lose.
Except the chance that we might make it
And that's a deal we can't refuse.
Like a pair of riverboat gamblers
Playin' the odds that love is comin' in.
You're the queen of hearts I'm countin' on.
The one this Joker's money is on to win.
I've got a solitary feelin'
I'll never have to ante up again.
If a couple of riverboat gamblers get lucky
We just might win a hand.
If a couple of riverboat gamblers get lucky
A pair might win a hand...
Jennifer Johnson And Me lyrics - Conway Twitty
Deep in the pocket of an old sport coat jacket,
I chanced to discover an old memory,
Three for a quarter, a black and white protrait,
Taken of Jennifer Johnson and me.
I'm in the corner with my shirt collar open
Like some Latin lover on late night TV.
Sittin' right here with her head on my shoulder,
Jennifer Johnson, she's smiling at me.
Three for a quarter, a black and white portrait.
Jen, closed the curtain so no one could see.
Hey, kiss me quick, 'cause the red light is flashin'
Flashin' on Jennifer Johnson and me.
It must have been summer, Nineteen Sixty-Seven,
The Beatles were singin' that love's all you need.
I held her hand while we walked through the arcade,
Two young believers on a three dollar spree.
Later that night we were parked in the darkness,
I felt her warmth in the cool evenin' breeze,
I told her then that I'd love her forever,
Forever, for Jennifer Johnson and me.
Three for a quarter, a black and white portrait,
Jennifer Johnson, what a sweet memory.
I saved the picture in my sportcoat pocket,
Jennifer Johnson, did you save one of me?
I saved her picture in my sportcoat pocket,
Jennifer Johnson, did you save one of me?..
I chanced to discover an old memory,
Three for a quarter, a black and white protrait,
Taken of Jennifer Johnson and me.
I'm in the corner with my shirt collar open
Like some Latin lover on late night TV.
Sittin' right here with her head on my shoulder,
Jennifer Johnson, she's smiling at me.
Three for a quarter, a black and white portrait.
Jen, closed the curtain so no one could see.
Hey, kiss me quick, 'cause the red light is flashin'
Flashin' on Jennifer Johnson and me.
It must have been summer, Nineteen Sixty-Seven,
The Beatles were singin' that love's all you need.
I held her hand while we walked through the arcade,
Two young believers on a three dollar spree.
Later that night we were parked in the darkness,
I felt her warmth in the cool evenin' breeze,
I told her then that I'd love her forever,
Forever, for Jennifer Johnson and me.
Three for a quarter, a black and white portrait,
Jennifer Johnson, what a sweet memory.
I saved the picture in my sportcoat pocket,
Jennifer Johnson, did you save one of me?
I saved her picture in my sportcoat pocket,
Jennifer Johnson, did you save one of me?..
You're The Best I've Never Had lyrics - Conway Twitty
At seventeen, in faded jeans
I was yours, and you were mine
Close enough to call it love
But, we never crossed the line.
After knowing you, love's been nothing new
I've had it good, and I've had it bad
But, after all these years, you still bring the tears
You're the best I never had.
A perfect start for virgin hearts
But, it ended all so fast
Old enough to have been the first
But, too young to make it last.
I never let it show, ah, I should've let you know
I never wanted someone so bad
Lookin' back, I've learned, with every bridge I've burned
You're the best I never had.
The flame is gone, but the fire burns on
Sometimes sweet, and sometimes sad
Girl, you'll always be a haunting mystery
You're the best I never had.
And, after all these years, you still bring the tears
You're the best I never had...
I was yours, and you were mine
Close enough to call it love
But, we never crossed the line.
After knowing you, love's been nothing new
I've had it good, and I've had it bad
But, after all these years, you still bring the tears
You're the best I never had.
A perfect start for virgin hearts
But, it ended all so fast
Old enough to have been the first
But, too young to make it last.
I never let it show, ah, I should've let you know
I never wanted someone so bad
Lookin' back, I've learned, with every bridge I've burned
You're the best I never had.
The flame is gone, but the fire burns on
Sometimes sweet, and sometimes sad
Girl, you'll always be a haunting mystery
You're the best I never had.
And, after all these years, you still bring the tears
You're the best I never had...
You Can't Say I've Never Tried lyrics - Conway Twitty
I only wish you'd listen,
I have never told you lies.
These things you think you're missin'
In the world out there do not satisfy.
I will not blame you if you leave
This has never been your home
But I'll always make you welcome here
'Til you can make it on your own.
When it all is goin' crazy
And you've got no place to hide
As I steal across your memory
You can't say I haven't tried.
I believe you really love me
But I guess what's done is done
They say time can make a difference
But a thousand years wouldn't change it none.
So, I guess there ain't much else to say
I won't keep you from your dreams
Just remember what you want the most
Isn't always what it seems.
When it all is goin' crazy
And you've got no place to hide
As I steal across your memory
You can't say I haven't tried...
I have never told you lies.
These things you think you're missin'
In the world out there do not satisfy.
I will not blame you if you leave
This has never been your home
But I'll always make you welcome here
'Til you can make it on your own.
When it all is goin' crazy
And you've got no place to hide
As I steal across your memory
You can't say I haven't tried.
I believe you really love me
But I guess what's done is done
They say time can make a difference
But a thousand years wouldn't change it none.
So, I guess there ain't much else to say
I won't keep you from your dreams
Just remember what you want the most
Isn't always what it seems.
When it all is goin' crazy
And you've got no place to hide
As I steal across your memory
You can't say I haven't tried...
If I Didn't Love You lyric - Conway Twitty
I can't believe it's really me telling you goodbye
But, I've run out of reasons to defend your alibis
I can't go on pretending everything is still okay
Now, I know the truth behind all the games you've played
It wouldn't be so hard for me to turn my heart away
If I didn't love you.
Looking back, it's easy now, for me to understand
Why you got so angry when I asked you where you'd been
You told me my suspicions were only jealousy
And, you used the way I trusted you to make a fool of me
You closed my eyes to lies that I could never have believed
If I didn't love you.
If I didn't love you
I'd have walked away a long, long time ago
If I didn't love you
I never would have let you hurt me so.
Now, the time has come for me to tell you that we're through
Leave this broken dream behind, and go find someone new
I can see that it would be an easy thing to do
If I didn't love you.
If I didn't love you
I'd have walked away a long, long time ago
If I didn't love you
I never would have let you hurt me so.
If I didn't love you.
If I didn't love you.
If I didn't love you
But, I've run out of reasons to defend your alibis
I can't go on pretending everything is still okay
Now, I know the truth behind all the games you've played
It wouldn't be so hard for me to turn my heart away
If I didn't love you.
Looking back, it's easy now, for me to understand
Why you got so angry when I asked you where you'd been
You told me my suspicions were only jealousy
And, you used the way I trusted you to make a fool of me
You closed my eyes to lies that I could never have believed
If I didn't love you.
If I didn't love you
I'd have walked away a long, long time ago
If I didn't love you
I never would have let you hurt me so.
Now, the time has come for me to tell you that we're through
Leave this broken dream behind, and go find someone new
I can see that it would be an easy thing to do
If I didn't love you.
If I didn't love you
I'd have walked away a long, long time ago
If I didn't love you
I never would have let you hurt me so.
If I didn't love you.
If I didn't love you.
If I didn't love you
Only The Shadows Know lyrics - Conway Twitty
Two bodies silhouetting on the wall
Two candles light the place where shadows fall
Hiding in darkness like two theives in the night
Stealing together 'til the morning light
Then as the morning unfolds
Two mystery lovers touch and go
Knowing full well their secret goes untold
Only the shadows know
Only the shadows know
They know that shadows wouldn't tell a soul
They pull the shades and then they lose control
Heartbeat for heartbeat love goes on and on
Undercover 'til the night is gone
Then as the morning unfolds
Two mystery lovers touch and go
Knowing full well their secret goes untold
Only the shadows know
Then as the morning unfolds
Two mystery lovers touch and go
Knowing full well their secret goes untold
Only the shadows know
Only the shadows know
Two candles light the place where shadows fall
Hiding in darkness like two theives in the night
Stealing together 'til the morning light
Then as the morning unfolds
Two mystery lovers touch and go
Knowing full well their secret goes untold
Only the shadows know
Only the shadows know
They know that shadows wouldn't tell a soul
They pull the shades and then they lose control
Heartbeat for heartbeat love goes on and on
Undercover 'til the night is gone
Then as the morning unfolds
Two mystery lovers touch and go
Knowing full well their secret goes untold
Only the shadows know
Then as the morning unfolds
Two mystery lovers touch and go
Knowing full well their secret goes untold
Only the shadows know
Only the shadows know
Legend And The Man lyrics - Conway Twitty
They all reach to touch him
As he walks out on the stage
They came to see the legend
And to hear the legend sing
While the men sit there applauding
Ladies love him with their eyes
And he looks just like a legend should
Up there in all those lights
But they don't know, after the show
How fast the legend fades
How he reaches for the bottle
When guitars are put away
And the photograph of the love he had
Fills his trembling hand
There's a lonely world of difference
Between the legend and the man
He's won all the shiny statues
All the records pressed in gold
But he lost what really matters
What he really wanted most
And tonight in some big city
Lord, he'll drive the crowd insane
They'll feel the pleasure of his songs
But they won't feel his pain
'Cause they don't know after the show
How fast the legend fades
How he reaches for the bottle
When guitars are put away
And the photograph of the love he had
Fills his trembling hand
There's a lonely world of difference
Between the legend and the man
There's a lonely world of difference
Between the legend and the man
As he walks out on the stage
They came to see the legend
And to hear the legend sing
While the men sit there applauding
Ladies love him with their eyes
And he looks just like a legend should
Up there in all those lights
But they don't know, after the show
How fast the legend fades
How he reaches for the bottle
When guitars are put away
And the photograph of the love he had
Fills his trembling hand
There's a lonely world of difference
Between the legend and the man
He's won all the shiny statues
All the records pressed in gold
But he lost what really matters
What he really wanted most
And tonight in some big city
Lord, he'll drive the crowd insane
They'll feel the pleasure of his songs
But they won't feel his pain
'Cause they don't know after the show
How fast the legend fades
How he reaches for the bottle
When guitars are put away
And the photograph of the love he had
Fills his trembling hand
There's a lonely world of difference
Between the legend and the man
There's a lonely world of difference
Between the legend and the man
All I Can Be Is A Sweet Memory lyrics - Conway Twitty
All I can be is a sweet memory
That drifts through your mind from time to time
I could never be more than a knock on your door.
Just a shadow that's gone with the sunshine.
For you know I'm not free and I never can be
And you're bound to get restless in time.
All I can be is a sweet memory
That drifts through your mind.
Tonight I'll shed a silent tear while lying here with you.
The sands of time have trickled down to just a precious few.
You're young and so beautiful and I'm so glad I'm here
But the ending painfully clear.
All I can be is a sweet memory
Of someone you had to leave behind.
Who loves you and needs you but never could give you
A ring for your finger so fine.
So tonight let's just borrow one memory for tomorrow
'Til we find we've run out of time.
All I can be is a sweet memory
That drifts through your mind.
All I can be is a sweet memory
that drifts through your mind.
That drifts through your mind from time to time
I could never be more than a knock on your door.
Just a shadow that's gone with the sunshine.
For you know I'm not free and I never can be
And you're bound to get restless in time.
All I can be is a sweet memory
That drifts through your mind.
Tonight I'll shed a silent tear while lying here with you.
The sands of time have trickled down to just a precious few.
You're young and so beautiful and I'm so glad I'm here
But the ending painfully clear.
All I can be is a sweet memory
Of someone you had to leave behind.
Who loves you and needs you but never could give you
A ring for your finger so fine.
So tonight let's just borrow one memory for tomorrow
'Til we find we've run out of time.
All I can be is a sweet memory
That drifts through your mind.
All I can be is a sweet memory
that drifts through your mind.
Keep On Chasin' Rainbows lyrics - Conway Twitty
I ran after faded fantasies.
Wished on many fallin' stars.
Lost my fast and hungry lust
In the backseat of old cars.
I learned to tell right from wrong
And the good times from sin.
And to keep on chasin' rainbows
'Cause I catch one now and then.
I put myself out on a limb
Without ever thinking twice.
And more than once I lost it all
On just one roll of the dice.
When my folded money turns to change
And I lose more than I win.
I keep on chasin' rainbows
'Cause I catch one now and then.
I watched for the sunlight
As every storm passed through.
Searchin' for that pot of gold.
That's how I found you.
You're the sweetest dream
This lucky fool as ever stumbled in.
Help me chase my rainbows
As we'll catch one now and then.
You're the sweetest dream
This lucky fool has ever stumbled in.
Help me chase my rainbows
And we'll catch one now and then...
Wished on many fallin' stars.
Lost my fast and hungry lust
In the backseat of old cars.
I learned to tell right from wrong
And the good times from sin.
And to keep on chasin' rainbows
'Cause I catch one now and then.
I put myself out on a limb
Without ever thinking twice.
And more than once I lost it all
On just one roll of the dice.
When my folded money turns to change
And I lose more than I win.
I keep on chasin' rainbows
'Cause I catch one now and then.
I watched for the sunlight
As every storm passed through.
Searchin' for that pot of gold.
That's how I found you.
You're the sweetest dream
This lucky fool as ever stumbled in.
Help me chase my rainbows
As we'll catch one now and then.
You're the sweetest dream
This lucky fool has ever stumbled in.
Help me chase my rainbows
And we'll catch one now and then...
True True Love Never Dies lyrics - Conway Twitty
There are so many roads we will travel
And so many mountains we'll climb.
We'll pledge our love to each other
Until the end of time.
As I place my ring on your finger
And swear '''til death do us part.''
You're the one love in my lifetime
The only song in my heart.
And the song never ends with the singer.
The truth out-lives a lie.
The dream lives on when the dreamer is gone
And true, true love never dies.
I will shine for you like a beacon.
A lighthouse on the shore.
I will keep you safe in my harbor
Now and forever more.
And the song never ends with the singer.
The truth out-lives a lie.
The dream lives on when the dreamer is gone
And true, true love never dies.
The song never ends with the singer.
The truth out-lives a lie.
The dream lives on when the dreamer is gone
And true, true love never dies...
And so many mountains we'll climb.
We'll pledge our love to each other
Until the end of time.
As I place my ring on your finger
And swear '''til death do us part.''
You're the one love in my lifetime
The only song in my heart.
And the song never ends with the singer.
The truth out-lives a lie.
The dream lives on when the dreamer is gone
And true, true love never dies.
I will shine for you like a beacon.
A lighthouse on the shore.
I will keep you safe in my harbor
Now and forever more.
And the song never ends with the singer.
The truth out-lives a lie.
The dream lives on when the dreamer is gone
And true, true love never dies.
The song never ends with the singer.
The truth out-lives a lie.
The dream lives on when the dreamer is gone
And true, true love never dies...
What's A Memory Like You lyrics - Conway Twitty
You know you shouldn't be here.
What am I suppose to do?
You know I've found a new love.
And I'm trying to be true.
Didn't you say that we were over?
Why do you keep hanging on?
What makes you think you're welcome?
Can't you just leave us alone?
What's a memory like you
Doing in a love like this?
She thinks we're all through
But that's not the way it is.
When I hold her in my arms
It's your lips I still kiss
What's a memory like you
Doing in a love like this?
Don't you know it would hurt her
To find you here with me.
Why make me remember
The way it used to be?
Can't you see that she can love me
In a way you never could.
And I really want to love her.
Ain't it time you left for good?
What's a memory like you
Doing in a love like this?
She thinks we're all through
But that's not the way it is.
When I hold her in my arms
It's your lips I still kiss.
What's a memory like you
Doing in a love like this?
What's a memory like you
Doing in a love like, like this?
What am I suppose to do?
You know I've found a new love.
And I'm trying to be true.
Didn't you say that we were over?
Why do you keep hanging on?
What makes you think you're welcome?
Can't you just leave us alone?
What's a memory like you
Doing in a love like this?
She thinks we're all through
But that's not the way it is.
When I hold her in my arms
It's your lips I still kiss
What's a memory like you
Doing in a love like this?
Don't you know it would hurt her
To find you here with me.
Why make me remember
The way it used to be?
Can't you see that she can love me
In a way you never could.
And I really want to love her.
Ain't it time you left for good?
What's a memory like you
Doing in a love like this?
She thinks we're all through
But that's not the way it is.
When I hold her in my arms
It's your lips I still kiss.
What's a memory like you
Doing in a love like this?
What's a memory like you
Doing in a love like, like this?
You'll Never Know How Much I Needed You Today lyrics - Conway Twitty
Have a seat, I reached for you at dawn
Felt the emptiness beside me
Remembered you were gone
In the cold that old blanket
Couldn't give the warmth you gave
You'll never know how much I needed you today
The touch of you still lingers on my mind
That tender touch I need so much to feel just one more time
Your picture seemed to whisper things I wanted you to say
You'll never know how much I needed you today
I hurt to have you hold me all day through
And the hunger just got stronger with every thought of you
So even if tomorrow this feeling fades away
You'll never know how much I needed you today
You'll never know how much I needed you today
Felt the emptiness beside me
Remembered you were gone
In the cold that old blanket
Couldn't give the warmth you gave
You'll never know how much I needed you today
The touch of you still lingers on my mind
That tender touch I need so much to feel just one more time
Your picture seemed to whisper things I wanted you to say
You'll never know how much I needed you today
I hurt to have you hold me all day through
And the hunger just got stronger with every thought of you
So even if tomorrow this feeling fades away
You'll never know how much I needed you today
You'll never know how much I needed you today
Lay Me Down Carolina lyrics - Conway Twitty
I can hear the rain a-tappin' on a tin roof down in Charlotte.
It's Sunday morning what a peaceful sound.
The closest thing to being there is looking through the pictures.
Worn and wrinkled from bein' lost and found.
The geese are flyin' south it must be winter in Vancouver.
The fallin' leaves, the seasons come and go.
The years are rolling by and I'm runnin' on a memory.
But lately I've been runnin' kind of low.
Lay me down Carolina, let me rest my weary bones.
In a world so full of people why do I feel alone?
Lift me up, give me direction 'til I know I'm homeward bound.
Lay Me Down Carolina, lay me down.
Life may take you anywhere and leave you cold and stranded.
But somehow love will always take you home.
Like roots the winding river's all run back to Carolina
And like a ship I'm drifting too far from the shore.
Lay me down Carolina let me rest my weary bones.
In a world so full of people why do I feel alone?
Lift me up, give me direction 'til I know I'm homeward bound
And lay me down Carolina, lay me down.
Carolina let me rest my weary bones.
In a world so full of people why do I feel alone?
Lift me up, give me direction 'til I know I'm homeward bound.
And lay me down Carolina, lay me down...
It's Sunday morning what a peaceful sound.
The closest thing to being there is looking through the pictures.
Worn and wrinkled from bein' lost and found.
The geese are flyin' south it must be winter in Vancouver.
The fallin' leaves, the seasons come and go.
The years are rolling by and I'm runnin' on a memory.
But lately I've been runnin' kind of low.
Lay me down Carolina, let me rest my weary bones.
In a world so full of people why do I feel alone?
Lift me up, give me direction 'til I know I'm homeward bound.
Lay Me Down Carolina, lay me down.
Life may take you anywhere and leave you cold and stranded.
But somehow love will always take you home.
Like roots the winding river's all run back to Carolina
And like a ship I'm drifting too far from the shore.
Lay me down Carolina let me rest my weary bones.
In a world so full of people why do I feel alone?
Lift me up, give me direction 'til I know I'm homeward bound
And lay me down Carolina, lay me down.
Carolina let me rest my weary bones.
In a world so full of people why do I feel alone?
Lift me up, give me direction 'til I know I'm homeward bound.
And lay me down Carolina, lay me down...
She Did lyrics - Conway Twitty
From the day she said "I do" to me, she did.
Promised me that she'd be true and she did.
But I kept giving in to sin. I always let temptation win.
Who forgave time and again? she did.
Who used to pray I'd change my ways? she did.
Spent years of empty nights and days, she did.
If anyone had a care for me, if anyone ever cried for me,
If anyone had a right to leave, she did.
I guess she finally had enough
Because she found someone else
To love and nothing I could do could make her stay.
If I'd been the man I should have been
She never would have wanted him.
She wouldn't be there standing in that wedding dress today.
But he asked her to say "I do", and she did.
Promised him that she'd be true, and she is.
And look who's falling all apart
The one who caused it from the start.
Never thought she'd break my heart but she did.
And look who's falling all apart
The one who caused it from the start.
Never thought she'd break my heart, but she did...
Promised me that she'd be true and she did.
But I kept giving in to sin. I always let temptation win.
Who forgave time and again? she did.
Who used to pray I'd change my ways? she did.
Spent years of empty nights and days, she did.
If anyone had a care for me, if anyone ever cried for me,
If anyone had a right to leave, she did.
I guess she finally had enough
Because she found someone else
To love and nothing I could do could make her stay.
If I'd been the man I should have been
She never would have wanted him.
She wouldn't be there standing in that wedding dress today.
But he asked her to say "I do", and she did.
Promised him that she'd be true, and she is.
And look who's falling all apart
The one who caused it from the start.
Never thought she'd break my heart but she did.
And look who's falling all apart
The one who caused it from the start.
Never thought she'd break my heart, but she did...
I'm The Man In The Song lyrics - Conway Twitty
I've never had a way with words
To say just how I feel.
But the love that I have for you
Could never be more real
Turn the radio up loud
And lay down next to me
And listen to the words the singer sings.
'Cause I'm the man in the song.
He's found the words
I've been searchin' for so long.
Everytime he sings he needs you
And his love for you is strong.
Think of me I'm the man in the song.
(Here him sing)
He's been waitin' for you all his life.
(Here him sing)
He's found heaven in your arms tonight.
The most beautiful girl in the world has come his way
And he's telling you the words I want to say.
'Cause I'm the man in the song.
He's found the words
I've been searchin' for so long.
Everytime he sings he needs you
And his love for you is strong.
Think of me I'm the man in the song.
I'm the man in the song.
He's found the words
I've been searchin' for so long.
Everytime he sings he needs you
And his love for you is strong.
Think of me I'm the man in the song...
To say just how I feel.
But the love that I have for you
Could never be more real
Turn the radio up loud
And lay down next to me
And listen to the words the singer sings.
'Cause I'm the man in the song.
He's found the words
I've been searchin' for so long.
Everytime he sings he needs you
And his love for you is strong.
Think of me I'm the man in the song.
(Here him sing)
He's been waitin' for you all his life.
(Here him sing)
He's found heaven in your arms tonight.
The most beautiful girl in the world has come his way
And he's telling you the words I want to say.
'Cause I'm the man in the song.
He's found the words
I've been searchin' for so long.
Everytime he sings he needs you
And his love for you is strong.
Think of me I'm the man in the song.
I'm the man in the song.
He's found the words
I've been searchin' for so long.
Everytime he sings he needs you
And his love for you is strong.
Think of me I'm the man in the song...
Baby I'm-A Want You lyrics - Conway Twitty
Baby, I'm a-want you
Baby, I'm a-need you.
You're the only one
I care enough to hurt about.
Lately I'm a crazy but I just can't live
Without your lovin' and affection.
Givin' me direction like a guiding light
To help me through my darkest hours.

Just emotions passing by.
Feeling all the while
But never really knowing why.

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

Baby, I'm a-need you.
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
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

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...
Note lyrics - Conway Twitty
The note was short, but Lord so strong
It simply said, I can't go on
And live a lie with someone I don't love
She couldn't tell me face to face
Oh but how my world was changed
By the hand that held the pen
That wrote the words that broke the heart
Of the one, the only one that really loves her.
My tears fell down like fallin' rain
But they can't wash away the pain
How will I go to sleep without her in my arms?
She never meant to break my heart
But how my world was torn apart
By the hand that held the pen
That wrote the words that broke the heart
Of the one, the only one that really loves her.
With one stroke of the pen she wrote off all my dreams
Erasing all the plans we made together
I'm the one that is to blame
Oh but how my world was changed
By the hand that held the pen
That wrote the words that broke the heart
Of the one, the only one that really loves her...
It simply said, I can't go on
And live a lie with someone I don't love
She couldn't tell me face to face
Oh but how my world was changed
By the hand that held the pen
That wrote the words that broke the heart
Of the one, the only one that really loves her.
My tears fell down like fallin' rain
But they can't wash away the pain
How will I go to sleep without her in my arms?
She never meant to break my heart
But how my world was torn apart
By the hand that held the pen
That wrote the words that broke the heart
Of the one, the only one that really loves her.
With one stroke of the pen she wrote off all my dreams
Erasing all the plans we made together
I'm the one that is to blame
Oh but how my world was changed
By the hand that held the pen
That wrote the words that broke the heart
Of the one, the only one that really loves her...
Whichever One Comes First lyrics - Conway Twitty
That little band of gold left a ring around her finger
First time she took it off in seven years
The only man that ever loved her left her for another
Now she's had her fill of lonely nights and cryin' bitter tears.
So she puts on her make-up, takes her gown down from the closet
And meets the baby sitter at the door
Then she gets a scary feelin' wonderin' if she's still appealin'
'Cause tonight she's goin' places she ain't never been before.
She's lookin' for those long forgotten feelin's
Hopin' this time they're a blessing not a curse
She's lookin' for a love to last forever
Or till mornin', whichever one comes first.
In the dim light of a barroom she sits down at a table
Then looks around in hopes she'll see a friend
But the world is full of strangers when you have to start all over
Back on your own and learnin' how to look for love again.
She's lookin' for those long forgotten feelin's
Hopin' this time they're a blessing not a curse
She's lookin' for a love to last forever
Or till mornin', whichever one comes first...
First time she took it off in seven years
The only man that ever loved her left her for another
Now she's had her fill of lonely nights and cryin' bitter tears.
So she puts on her make-up, takes her gown down from the closet
And meets the baby sitter at the door
Then she gets a scary feelin' wonderin' if she's still appealin'
'Cause tonight she's goin' places she ain't never been before.
She's lookin' for those long forgotten feelin's
Hopin' this time they're a blessing not a curse
She's lookin' for a love to last forever
Or till mornin', whichever one comes first.
In the dim light of a barroom she sits down at a table
Then looks around in hopes she'll see a friend
But the world is full of strangers when you have to start all over
Back on your own and learnin' how to look for love again.
She's lookin' for those long forgotten feelin's
Hopin' this time they're a blessing not a curse
She's lookin' for a love to last forever
Or till mornin', whichever one comes first...
Everyone Has Someone They Can't Forget lyrics - Conway Twitty
She gently opens up her scrapbook and a faded rose falls out
It's the one he gave to her on their last date
But his memory hasn't faded; she's not over him yet
Everyone has someone they can't forget.
It's been nine years since he saw her, but he keeps on goin' back
To places where they made their sweet memories
And he keeps her worn-out picture in a dresser by his bed
Everyone has someone they can't forget.
Everyone remembers someone who used to care
We all carry memories of someone somewhere.
I believe you really love me but every now and then
I can see an old flame there in your eyes
But he's only a memory, I have one myself
Everyone has someone they can't forget.
Everyone has someone they can't forget...
It's the one he gave to her on their last date
But his memory hasn't faded; she's not over him yet
Everyone has someone they can't forget.
It's been nine years since he saw her, but he keeps on goin' back
To places where they made their sweet memories
And he keeps her worn-out picture in a dresser by his bed
Everyone has someone they can't forget.
Everyone remembers someone who used to care
We all carry memories of someone somewhere.
I believe you really love me but every now and then
I can see an old flame there in your eyes
But he's only a memory, I have one myself
Everyone has someone they can't forget.
Everyone has someone they can't forget...
Those Eyes lyrics - Conway Twitty
God gave some a way of walkin'
Others have the gift of talkin'
They've all got a special way to please.
Some men fall for a pretty face
Others go for silk and lace
I bet he knew He'd bring me to my knees
When he gave her.
Those eyes, those eyes
Make me do most anything they want me to do
When I look in
Those eyes, those eyes
I know I will never say goodbye when I look into
Those eyes.
There's been times I thought of leavin'
Find another place for breathin'
After all I'm just a normal man.
I thought by now I would have done it
Somethings always kept me from it
The reason isn't hard to understand when I look in.
Those eyes, those eyes
Make me do most anything they want me to do
When I look in
Those eyes, those eyes
I know I will never say goodbye when I look into
Those eyes.
Oh, I don't know what you see in me
But you keep on pleasin' me
All my life I've been satisfied just to look in.
Those eyes (they turn me around)
Those eyes (they melt me down)
Make me do most anything they want me to do
When I look in
Those eyes (they get to me)
Those eyes (they set me free)
I know I will never say goodbye when I look into
Those eyes...
Others have the gift of talkin'
They've all got a special way to please.
Some men fall for a pretty face
Others go for silk and lace
I bet he knew He'd bring me to my knees
When he gave her.
Those eyes, those eyes
Make me do most anything they want me to do
When I look in
Those eyes, those eyes
I know I will never say goodbye when I look into
Those eyes.
There's been times I thought of leavin'
Find another place for breathin'
After all I'm just a normal man.
I thought by now I would have done it
Somethings always kept me from it
The reason isn't hard to understand when I look in.
Those eyes, those eyes
Make me do most anything they want me to do
When I look in
Those eyes, those eyes
I know I will never say goodbye when I look into
Those eyes.
Oh, I don't know what you see in me
But you keep on pleasin' me
All my life I've been satisfied just to look in.
Those eyes (they turn me around)
Those eyes (they melt me down)
Make me do most anything they want me to do
When I look in
Those eyes (they get to me)
Those eyes (they set me free)
I know I will never say goodbye when I look into
Those eyes...
Except For You lyrics - Conway Twitty
Except for you, I've never known what love is
Or how it feels to have a dream come true
But now I find my world no longer lonely
The way that it would be except for you.
One by one you mended all the pieces
Of a heart that someone broke in two
You filled my life with happiness and sunshine
That I never would have known except for you.
You brought all the rainbow colors to a world of solid blue
There's nothin' prettier than rainbows, except for you
And so my love I wanted just to tell you
This old heart won't beat again, except for you.
My old heart won't beat again, except for you...
Or how it feels to have a dream come true
But now I find my world no longer lonely
The way that it would be except for you.
One by one you mended all the pieces
Of a heart that someone broke in two
You filled my life with happiness and sunshine
That I never would have known except for you.
You brought all the rainbow colors to a world of solid blue
There's nothin' prettier than rainbows, except for you
And so my love I wanted just to tell you
This old heart won't beat again, except for you.
My old heart won't beat again, except for you...
Green Eyes lyrics - Conway Twitty
It's not easy
Lettin' go completely
And fightin' off the jealously
That comes with losin' you
You say you wanna be free
From the promises you made me
You wanna take the love you gave me
And give it to your someone new.
You got my green eyes cryin' those blue tears
Wishin' I could be with you tears
The whole night through
You got my green eyes cryin' those blue tears
Cryin' what will I do tears without you.
This is all wrong
Losin' love we had for so long
Can't we try again to hold on?
Instead of saying it's the end
I will free you
But baby if you ever need to
There's a trail of tears to lead you
Back into my arms again.
You got my green eyes cryin' those blue tears
Wishin' I could be with you tears
The whole night through
You got my green eyes cryin' those blue tears
Cryin' what will I do tears without you.
You got my green eyes cryin' those blue tears
Cryin' what will I do tears without you...
Lettin' go completely
And fightin' off the jealously
That comes with losin' you
You say you wanna be free
From the promises you made me
You wanna take the love you gave me
And give it to your someone new.
You got my green eyes cryin' those blue tears
Wishin' I could be with you tears
The whole night through
You got my green eyes cryin' those blue tears
Cryin' what will I do tears without you.
This is all wrong
Losin' love we had for so long
Can't we try again to hold on?
Instead of saying it's the end
I will free you
But baby if you ever need to
There's a trail of tears to lead you
Back into my arms again.
You got my green eyes cryin' those blue tears
Wishin' I could be with you tears
The whole night through
You got my green eyes cryin' those blue tears
Cryin' what will I do tears without you.
You got my green eyes cryin' those blue tears
Cryin' what will I do tears without you...
Take It Like A Man lyrics - Conway Twitty
Daddy told me a man must be strong
And hold what he feels inside
Women want heroes with nerves made of steel
Sittin' tall on the white horse they ride.
So, I won't cry when you say goodbye,
I'll just let you go
I'll stick to my guns,
Like father like son.
I'll take it like a man
And watch you walk away
I'll take it like a man
You'll never know I feel the blow
I should get down on my knees
But I was raised to take a stand
Hide my tears and take it like a man.
Daddy told me don't ever show pain
'Cause a real man will never give in
But the lessons he taught me just get in the way
With the threads of our love wearing thin.
The family tradition
Taught me to be proud
But what good is pride
If it kills me inside to.
Take it like a man
And watch you walk away
I'll take it like a man
You'll never know I feel the blow
I should get down on my knees
But I was raised to take a stand
Hide my tears and take it like a man.
I'd get down on my knees
But I was raised to take a stand
Hide my tears and take it like a man...
And hold what he feels inside
Women want heroes with nerves made of steel
Sittin' tall on the white horse they ride.
So, I won't cry when you say goodbye,
I'll just let you go
I'll stick to my guns,
Like father like son.
I'll take it like a man
And watch you walk away
I'll take it like a man
You'll never know I feel the blow
I should get down on my knees
But I was raised to take a stand
Hide my tears and take it like a man.
Daddy told me don't ever show pain
'Cause a real man will never give in
But the lessons he taught me just get in the way
With the threads of our love wearing thin.
The family tradition
Taught me to be proud
But what good is pride
If it kills me inside to.
Take it like a man
And watch you walk away
I'll take it like a man
You'll never know I feel the blow
I should get down on my knees
But I was raised to take a stand
Hide my tears and take it like a man.
I'd get down on my knees
But I was raised to take a stand
Hide my tears and take it like a man...
I Don't Know A Thing About Love (The Moon Song) lyrics - Conway Twitty
I talked to the man in the moon
I said, "Sir, is she coming back soon?"
He smiled and he stated, "Son, I'm over-rated
I've had too much credit in those old love tunes"
I don't know a thing about love
I just kind of hang here above
I just watch from the sky, will love grow or will it die?
I don't know a thing about love
Then I ask him "Where is she tonight?
You must see all things with your light"
He said, "Son, I could tell you things that might kill you
But I don't get involved in what's wrong or right"
I don't know a thing about love
I just kind of hang here above
I just watch from the sky, will love grow or will it die?
I don't know a thing about love
He said, "I can move oceans when I take the notion
Or make mountains tremble and rivers run dry
But in all matters human, remember there's someone
In charge of those things way above you and I"
I don't know a thing about love
I just kind of hang here above
I just watch from the sky, will love grow or will it die?
I don't know a thing about love
I don't know a thing about love
I said, "Sir, is she coming back soon?"
He smiled and he stated, "Son, I'm over-rated
I've had too much credit in those old love tunes"
I don't know a thing about love
I just kind of hang here above
I just watch from the sky, will love grow or will it die?
I don't know a thing about love
Then I ask him "Where is she tonight?
You must see all things with your light"
He said, "Son, I could tell you things that might kill you
But I don't get involved in what's wrong or right"
I don't know a thing about love
I just kind of hang here above
I just watch from the sky, will love grow or will it die?
I don't know a thing about love
He said, "I can move oceans when I take the notion
Or make mountains tremble and rivers run dry
But in all matters human, remember there's someone
In charge of those things way above you and I"
I don't know a thing about love
I just kind of hang here above
I just watch from the sky, will love grow or will it die?
I don't know a thing about love
I don't know a thing about love
I've Never Had It Bad lyrics - Conway Twitty
I've had love enough for any man
But not enough to learn
I wish I had a nickel for
Each bridge I've had to burn.
I've had love that warmed my heart
And love that left me sad
I've had love a thousand ways
But I've never had it bad.
I've had love that bloomed in spring
But never saw the fall
And I've known love so big it made
Life itself seem small.
Sometimes love was pure and sweet
And sometimes just a fad
I've had love a thousand ways
But I've never had it bad.
Love is only what we make it
A window or a wall
Love can heal a heart or break it
But it's a fool who never falls.
We've had love this time around
But it seems our time has passed
Even though we made it work
We couldn't make it last.
So here's a toast to you and me
And everything we had
I've had love a thousand ways
But I've never had it bad...
But not enough to learn
I wish I had a nickel for
Each bridge I've had to burn.
I've had love that warmed my heart
And love that left me sad
I've had love a thousand ways
But I've never had it bad.
I've had love that bloomed in spring
But never saw the fall
And I've known love so big it made
Life itself seem small.
Sometimes love was pure and sweet
And sometimes just a fad
I've had love a thousand ways
But I've never had it bad.
Love is only what we make it
A window or a wall
Love can heal a heart or break it
But it's a fool who never falls.
We've had love this time around
But it seems our time has passed
Even though we made it work
We couldn't make it last.
So here's a toast to you and me
And everything we had
I've had love a thousand ways
But I've never had it bad...
Without You lyrics - Conway Twitty
I've never been above the Mason ' Dixon line
The cold wind and the snow just ain't my style
When you left for New York City I stayed behind
But girl it's not the same without your smile.
You said you hated leavin' but then you were gone
The big city life was on your mind
Everyday gets harder for me to carry on
All alone in this Dixie heart of mine.
Without you, I'm Dixie without Georgia
These lonely southern nights make me blue
Without you, I'm Texas without Dallas
I'm Cajun Country without Baton Rouge
I'm Dixie without Georgia without you.
I'm southern born and bred just like a magnolia tree
I'm honeysuckle clingin' to the vine
I had it all together when you were with me
Right here in this Dixie heart of mine.
Without you, I'm Dixie without Georgia
These lonely southern nights make me blue
Without you, I'm Texas without Dallas
I'm Cajun Country without Big Mamaux
I'm Dixie without Georgia without you.
Hey, without you, I'm Dixie without Georgia
These lonely southern nights make me blue
Without you, I'm Texas without Dallas
I'm Memphis, Tennessee without the blues'
I'm Dixie without Georgia without you...
The cold wind and the snow just ain't my style
When you left for New York City I stayed behind
But girl it's not the same without your smile.
You said you hated leavin' but then you were gone
The big city life was on your mind
Everyday gets harder for me to carry on
All alone in this Dixie heart of mine.
Without you, I'm Dixie without Georgia
These lonely southern nights make me blue
Without you, I'm Texas without Dallas
I'm Cajun Country without Baton Rouge
I'm Dixie without Georgia without you.
I'm southern born and bred just like a magnolia tree
I'm honeysuckle clingin' to the vine
I had it all together when you were with me
Right here in this Dixie heart of mine.
Without you, I'm Dixie without Georgia
These lonely southern nights make me blue
Without you, I'm Texas without Dallas
I'm Cajun Country without Big Mamaux
I'm Dixie without Georgia without you.
Hey, without you, I'm Dixie without Georgia
These lonely southern nights make me blue
Without you, I'm Texas without Dallas
I'm Memphis, Tennessee without the blues'
I'm Dixie without Georgia without you...
