Conway Twitty

See her there see her crying
She thinks she loves him so
She don창???t know how much it hurts me
To hear her beg him not to go
If she were mine again I창???d never
Let the tears fill her eyes
She don창???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 she창???s doing now
Now she창???s begging to another
With that same hurt in her eyes
She don창???t know how much it hurts me
To see an angel cry
I didn창???t know how much I loved her
Till she turned and walked away
I didn창???t know how much I창???d hurt her
Till I saw her here this way
If she were mine I창???d hold her forever
And dry the tears from her eyes
She don창???t know how much it hurts me
To see my angel cry
She don창???t know how much it hurts me
To see my angel cry

Hello, darlin', nice to see ya
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 means so much to me

What's that, darlin? "How'm I doin'?"
Guess I'm doin' all right
Except I can't sleep and I cry all night till 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 ya
Just for old time's sake
Let me hold you in my arms one more time

Thank ya, darlin', may God bless you
And may each step you take
Bring you closer to the thing you seek to find

Goodbye, darlin', gotta go now
Gotta try to find a way
To lose these mem'ries 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 waiting for you

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.

Chorus:
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.

--- Instrumental ---

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...

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

Chorus:
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.

Chorus:
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...

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?
Lover's 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

--- Instrumental ---

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 ...)

I talk 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 to 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 asked 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."

We step out on the dance floor
The band starts to play
Holding you close I get carried away
Finding that falling is easy to do
Lost in the feeling with you.

Time standing still as I whirl you around
We're dancing without
Even touching the ground
Finding that falling is easy to do
Lost in the feeling with you.

No words are spoken
That don't need to be said
You and the music
Had gone to my head.

--- Instrumental ---

But I'll just go on
When the music is through
Lost in the feeling with you
Lost in the feeling with you.

--- Instrumental ---

Lost in the feeling with you...

As the midnight moon was drifting through
The lazy sway of the trees
I saw the look in your eyes looking into the night
Not seeing what you wanted to see.

Darling, don't say a word I've already heard
What your body is saying to mine
You're tired of fast moves
You got a slow groove on your mind.

You want a man with a slow hand
You want a lover with an easy touch
You want somebody who will spend some time
Not come and go in a heated rush
Baby, believe me I understand
When it comes to love you want a slow hand.

--- Instrumental ---

Moon shadowed ground with no one around
And a blanket of stars in our eyes
Hey, we're drifting free like two losties
On the crazy wind of the night.

Darling don't say a word I've already heard
What your body is saying to mine
If you want all night you know it's alright
I've got time.

You've got a man with a slow hand
You've got a lover with an easy touch
You've got somebody who will spend some time
Not come and go in a heated rush
Baby, believe me I understand
When it comes to love you want a slow hand.

You want a lover with an easy touch
You've got somebody
Who will spend some time with you baby
Not come and go in a heated rush
Baby believe me I understand
When it comes to love you want a slow hand...

(Len Chera)

Someone somewhere's fallin' asleep
In a chair in front of the tv
'Cross town somebody's
Up and walkin' the floor at a quarter to three.

In some little corner of the world
A forgotten soul is waitin' by the phone
And right down the hall someone's in there feelin'
Like cryin' 'cause they're livin' all alone.

Somebody's needin' somebody the way I do
Somebody's wantin' somebody they can hold on to
To be loved by somebody that's the way it should be
Oh, there's got to be somebody somewhere waitin' for me.

Late at night it's lonely and I wonder how I'll ever get through
There's got to be somebody somewhere who's feelin' it too
Hurtin' inside, goin' through the motions, it's so hard to live
So many feelin' so lonely when they got so much to give.

Somebody's needin' somebody the way I do
Somebody's wantin' somebody they can hold on to
To be loved by somebody that's the way it should be
Oh, there's got to be somebody somewhere waitin' for me.

To be loved by somebody that's the way it should be
Oh, there's got to be somebody out there waitin' for me...

You love the way it makes me feel when I can't catch my breath
Like walkin' on a high wire, Lord, it scares me half to death
You're always high above me and I'm always fallin' down
Our love's just a circus baby, and I'm just the clown.

And I'll do tricks for you, just like you want me to
I'll do anything it takes just to hang around
I'll paint a smile for you to cover up my frown
'Cause our loves a circus and I'm just the clown.

Everyone's in love with you, but they just look at me and laugh
And I'll bet when they see me cry, they think it's just an act
Ah, but someday when it's over and we bring the big top down
You can say it was one big circus and I was just the clown.

And I'll do tricks for you, just like you want me to
I'll do anything it takes just to hang around
I'll paint a smile for you to cover up my frown
'Cause you love the circus, but you don't love the clown...

Some say love, it is a river
And that it drowns the tender reed
And some say love, it's like a razor
And that it leaves your soul to bleed.

Some say love, it is a hunger
An endless aching need
I say love, it is a flower
And you, it's only seed.

It's a heart afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance
It's a dream afraid of waking
That never takes the chance
It's the one who won't be taken
Who can not seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying
That never learns to live.

When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed that with the sun's love
In spring becomes the rose...

Falling into love so young seemed so right
How could we know we'd grow up and grow apart
All we really wanted was each other in the night
But, it's plain to see we've had a change of heart.

The day we said I do I really did and so did you
Love came so easy, coming true
I wish we could find that love again but I'm afraid we won't
'Cause when we said I do we really did but now you don't.

Wedding vows are just no good if you let 'em fade
And rings don't mean a thing when feelings die
There just a grim reminder of the love that we once made
And the loneliness ahead for you and I.

The day we said I do I really did and so did you
Love came so easy, coming true
I wish we could find that love again but I'm afraid we won't
'Cause when we said I do we really did but now you don't.

The day we said I do I really did and so did you
Love came so easy, coming true
I wish we could find that love again but I'm afraid we won't
'Cause when we said I do we really did but now you don't...

--- Instrumental to fade ---

Now I'm lying here with Linda on my mind
And next to me my soon to be
The one I left behind
And lord it's killing me, to see her crying
She knows I'm lying here beside her
With Linda on my mind

Yes I know that I once loved her
And I placed no one above her
And I never thought I'd ever set her free
But it just wasn't in my plans
The way Linda squeezed my hand
The first time that I held her close
As she danced with me
She said I've loved you for a long time
But you're married to a friend of mine
And I've tried hard, to never let it show
But my love for you is stronger
I can't hide it any longer
And so I thought I'd better let you know

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 your doin' fine
Just to know it
Means so much to me.

What's that Darlin'
How am I doin'
Guess I'm doin' alright
Except I cant 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 sake
Let me hold you
In my arms one more time.

Thank you Darlin'
May God bless you
And may each step you take
Bring you closer
To the things you seem to find.

Goodbye Darlin'
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...

Today I got a letter from someone
Just a friend we knew some time ago
And as I read between the lines I began to realize
He didn't know I lost you a long long time ago.

Oh, I just can't make it any longer
Everything I do is always wrong
I'm livin' a lie and there's no need in tryin'
To keep hangin' on after all the good is gone.

--- Instrumental ---

Lord, I wish that I could die and there's no use in tryin'
To keep hangin' on after all the good is gone...

My hand is trembling as the key unlocks the door
My legs are shaky as I walk across the floor
My voice weakens as I call out I'm home
Do my eyes deceive me or is my baby gone?

Baby's gone she couldn't stand to tell me face to face
And things just ain't the way they used to be
Around this place
Her perfume lingers where she once lay her head
And I can almost taste the teardrops that she shed
As she searched her mind and tried to find
Just where our love went wrong
But it's ended and it's over, and baby's gone.

Baby's gone she couldn't stand to tell me face to face
And things just ain't the way they used to be
Around this place
Her perfume lingers where she once lay her head
And I can almost taste the teardrops that she shed
As she searched her mind and tried to find
Just where it all went wrong
But it's ended and it's over, and baby's gone...

Woman-
Jimmy please say you'll wait for me
I'll grow up someday you'll see
Saving all my kisses just for you
Signed with love
forever true

Man -
Joni was the girl who lived next door
I've known her I guess 10 years or more
Joni wrote me a note one day
And this is what she had to say

Woman-
Jimmy please say you'll wait for me
I'll grow up someday you'll see
Saving all my kisses just for you
Signed with love
forever true

Man-
Slowly I read her note once more
Then I went over to the house next door
Her tear drops fell like rain that day
When I told Joni what I had to say

Man-
Joni, Joni please don't cry
You'll forget me by and by
You're just fifteen
I'm twenty two
And Joni I just cant wait for you

Man - Soon I left our little home town
Got me a job and tried to settle down
But these words kept haunting my memory
The words that Joni said to me

Woman- Jimmy please say you'll wait for me
I'll grow up some day you'll see
Saving all my kisses just for you
Signed with love
forever true

Man - I packed my clothes
And I caught a plane
I had to see Joni
I had to explain
How my heart was filled
With her memory
And ask my Joni if she'd marry me

I ran all the way
To the house next door
But things weren't like they were before
My tear drops fell like rain that day
When I heard what Joni had to say

Woman- Jimmy, Jimmy please don't cry
You'll forget me by and by
It's been five years since you've been gone
Jimmy I married your best friend John

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

Hello, darlin', nice to see ya
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 means so much to me

What's that, darlin? "How'm I doin'?"
Guess I'm doin' all right
Except I can't sleep and I cry all night till 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 ya
Just for old time's sake
Let me hold you in my arms one more time

Thank ya, darlin', may God bless you
And may each step you take
Bring you closer to the thing you seek to find

Goodbye, darlin', gotta go now
Gotta try to find a way
To lose these mem'ries 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 waiting for you

Well, if your heartaches are many
And your friends are few
Well, darlin' I, I, I, I sympathize with you.

If your days, your days 're lonely
And your nights are blue
Well darlin' I, I, I, I sympathize with you.

Well, if you want someone to love you
I'll try, oh, how I'll try
Well if you need someone to hold you
Close by his side.
Yea, Yea, Yea.

I'll try, I'll try to hide
The tears that you cry
Well darlin', I, I, I, I sympathize with you.

Well, if you want someone to love you
I'll try, oh, how I'll try
Well if you need someone to hold you
Close by his side.
Yea, Yea, Yea.

I'll try, I'll try to hide
The tears that you cry
Well Darlin', I, I, I, I sympathize with you.

Yea, Yea, Yea, Yea...

Now I'm lying here with Linda on my mind
And next to me my soon to be
The one I left behind
And lord it's killing me, to see her crying
She knows I'm lying here beside her
With Linda on my mind

From: WALLACE HOARD

Lord, she needs someone to hold her when she cries.

She packed her few belongings left a note and now she's gone
And I can't stand to think of her out there so all alone
As soon as she's gone far enough to know she's out of sight
She'll pull off the highway and she'll cry.

And she needs someone to hold her when she cries
Someone who really understands the way she feels inside
When her heart breaks the tears won't stop, no matter how she tries
And she needs someone to hold her when she cries.

I don't blame her for leavin' Lord, she didn't want to go
But she thinks I don't love her or need her anymore
I've driven her into a world as dark and cold as ice
With no one there to hold her when she cries.

And she needs someone to hold her when she cries
Someone who really understands the way she feels inside
And if she ever loves again I hope that she will find
Someone who'll always hold her when she cries.

He put his arm around her shoulder
with a voice that sounded older
He said, "Mom, I got something on my mind.
I don't wanna bother you but
I sure need to talk to you
If you can only spare the time.
And Mom I hope you understand
How much I love and need you
And I don't want you to take this the wrong way
But don't you think I'm old enough
And big enough and strong enough
To play the games that Daddies play?"

My friend Billy Parker's dad
Came by today to see me
And he wondered if I'd like to go
With him and Billy on a hike
And maybe camp out overnight
The way I've seen 'em do in picture shows
And there's one thing I'd like to do
And maybe if I ask him to
He'd sit and talk with me man to man
We'd only be gone overnight
And I could find out what it's like
To play the games that Daddies play.

She quickly turned to hide the tears
From her son of seven years
He didn't know she'd read between the lines
He'd never really known his dad
And although he'd never ask
She knew exactly what was on his mind
She searched her mind in desperation,
Six long years of separation
Dimmed the words she knew she had to say
I hope you're never big enough
Or old enough or bold enough
To play the games that Daddies play.

I know you need and want his love but,
Son, you're the victim of
Another kind of game that Daddies play...

I can almost hear the stillness
as it yields to the sound of your heart beating
and I can almost hear the echo
of the thoughts that I know you must be thinking
and I can feel your body tremble
as you wonder what this moment holds in store
and as I put my arms around you
I can tell you've never been this far before

I don't know what I'm saying
as my trembling fingers touch forbidden places
I only know that I have waited
for so long for the chance that we are taking
I don't know and I don't care
what made you tell him you don't love him anymore
and as I taste your tender kisses
I can tell you've never been this far before

and as I take the love you're giving
I can feel the tension building in your mind
and you're wondering if tomorrow
I'll still love you like I'm loving you tonight
you have no way of knowing
but tonight will only make me love you more
and I hope that you'll believe me
'cause I know you've never been this far before

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 your doin' fine
Just to know it
Means so much to me.

What's that Darlin'
How am I doin'
Guess I'm doin' alright
Except I cant 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 sake
Let me hold you
In my arms one more time.

Thank you Darlin'
May God bless you
And may each step you take
Bring you closer
To the things you seem to find.

Goodbye Darlin'
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...

I can't believe she gives it all to me
I pinch myself when I wake up each morning
Cause I'm constantly amazed when I see
Exactly everything I've always wanted
But I can't believe she gives it all to me
Lips that warm my face with morning kisses
Arms that reach to hold me tenderly
And love that always satisfies completely
But I can't believe she gives it all to me
She gives me more than any one man deserves
I who have everything am nothing without her
Somehow she knows I need her desperately
I can't believe she gives it all to me

It's over our love affair
Too late now I find I care
Her sweet love never more I'll share
She's gone I'm alone
I was wrong should have known
Took her home after our last date

I searched for a simple way
To tell her what I had to say
I kissed her then I turned away
Set her free foolishly
Destiny misery
Tragedy on our last date

Took my ring from her trembling finger
Brushed a tear from my baby's eye
Walked away didn't know
That I'd soon miss her so
Guess I was too young to realize

So blind I couldn't see
How much she really meant to me
And that soon she would always be
On my mind in my heart
I was blind from the start
Lost her love on our last date
