After All The Good Is Gone

Conway Twitty

© Twitty Bird Music, BMI

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

I Got A Good Thing Going

Conway Twitty

© Twitty Bird Music, BMI

I got a good thing goin' and I guess it's showin'
Everybody knows what I've got goin's goin' wrong
She loved me and I let her down and that upset her
And now the good thing I got goin's goin' goin' gone

And I just started feelin' the realness of her leavin'
And without a doubt she's the reason
That I sing this song I'm singin'

I got a good thing goin' and there's no way of knowin'
Just how far her leavin's gonna take her off or how long
She never thought I'd abuse her but I sure misused her
I got a good thing goin' goin' goin' gone
[ instrumental ]
And I just started feelin' the realness of her leavin'...
I got a good thing goin' and there's no way of knowin'
[ instrumental ]
I got a good thing goin' goin' goin' gone

There's More Love In The Arms You're Leaving

L.E. White

© Twitty Bird Music, BMI

You'll find there's more love in the arms you'll be leavin'
Than all the good you'll ever find in goodbye

The words I love you came easy for a while
But lately they're gettin' harder to say
I can't help noticin' the sadness in your smile
I know he's on your mind again today

I hold you close but it's never close enough
And I know that he's the reason why
You'll find there's more love in the arms you'll be leavin'
Than all the good you'll ever find in goodbye

Could it be you've been leavin' without sayin' a word
Or have you tried to tell me and I just haven't heard
Was I dreamin' last night or did I hear my baby cry
You'll find there's more love in the arms you'll be leavin'
Than all the good you'll ever find in goodbye
Than all the good you'll ever find in goodbye

At Least One Time

Jack Dunham - Galen Raye

© Tree Pub, BMI

You keep comin' to me tryin' to look inside my mind oh what you see
Are you wonderin' if you're in there well you are but baby you got company
I'm not lookin' for a place to go when I'll leave I won't be comin' back no more
I'm more like a circus show I pitch my tent and then I'll go
So git in line at least one time

I'm not just a side show either step up front but don't just stand and stare
Yeah I'm the main attraction but understand I'll sell my tickets anywhere
I'm not lookin' for a place to go when I'll leave I won't be comin' back no more
I'm more like a circus show I pitch my tent and then I'll go
So git in line at least one time
[ instrumental ]
You keep comin' to me tryin' to look inside my mind oh what you see...

I Don't Feel Like Lovin' You

David Barnes

© Cross Keys Pub, ASCAP

Mornin' will tell you what I couldn't say
Didn't really want to leave or didn't really want to stay
Yes it seems so unkind but what else can I do
No matter how I try just don't feel like loving you

Walking beside me you're walking alone
Never moving quite together cause I'm moving on my own
Trying hard to believe but what else can I do
No matter how I try just don't feel like loving you

Maybe I'll be sorry from the first night I'm alone
And I pray that I'll awaken by your side
But I can't believe in staying if I never tried to go
Yes I won't believe in love until I try

One night in one town or another town or two
Got no time for conversation barely time for passin' through
With no woman at heart comes no sorrow tonight
Baby nothing where I go and but there's nothing left behind

Maybe I'll be sorry from the first night I'm alone...

It's Only Make Believe

Conway Twitty - Jack Nance

© Marielle Music, BMI

People see us everywhere
They all think you really care
But myself I can't deceive
I know it's only make believe

My one and only prayer is that some day you'll care
My hopes my dreams come true my one and only you
No one will ever know how much I love you so
My only prayer will be some day you'll care for me
But it's only make believe

My hopes my dreams come true my life I give for you
My heart or wedding ring my all my everything
My heart I can't control you lure my very soul
My only prayer will be some day you'll care for me
But it's only make believe

My one and only prayer is that some day you'll care...

Danny Boy

Fred Weatherly

Oh Danny Boy the pipes the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and down the mountain side
The summer's gone and all the roses falling
It's you it's you must go and I must bide

Oh Danny Boy Oh Danny Boy the pipes the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and even down the mountain side
The summer's gone and all the roses falling
It's you it's you must go and I must bide

Well come on back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valleys hushed and even white with snow
Hey I'll be there in sunshine or in shadows
Oh Danny Boy oh Danny Boy I love you so
[ instrumental ]
Oh Danny Boy Oh Danny Boy the pipes the pipes are calling...
Well come on back when summer's in the meadow...

Oh Danny Boy oh Danny Boy I love you so
Oh Danny Boy oh Danny Boy I love you so

Lonely Blue Boy

Ben Weisman - Fred Wise

© Chappell Co, ASCAP

My name should be trouble my name should be woe
For trouble and heartache is all that I know
Yeah yeah lonely lonely blue boy is my name

My life is an envy my heart has been torn
It must have been rainin' the night I was born
Yeah yeah lonely lonely blue boy is my name

Well I'm so I'm so afraid of tomorrow
So tired so tired of today
Let's say that love is the answer
Oh but love it never came my way

I might send a letter to someone unknown
And if you should find it and if you're alone
Yeah yeah lonely lonely blue boy is my name
Remember lonely lonely blue boy is my name

Mona Lisa

Ray Evans - Jay Livingston

© Famous Music, ASCAP

Well Mona Lisa Mona Lisa men have named you
You're so like the lady with the mystic smile
Is it only cause you're lonely they have blamed you
For that Mona Lisa strangeness in your smile

Well it your smile to tempt a lover Mona Lisa
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart
Many dreams have brought to your doorstep
They just lie there and they die there
Are you warm are you real Mona Lisa
Or just a cold and lonely lovely work of art
[ instrumental ]
Well in a villa in a little old Italian town
Lives a girl whose beauty shames the rose
Many yearn to love her but their hopes all tumble down
What does she want I guess nobody knows

Do you smile to tempt a lover Mona Lisa...

Or just a cold and lonely lovely work of art
Or just a cold and lonely lovely work of art
