Linda On My Mind

Now I'm laying here with Linda on my mind
And next to me my soon to be the one I left behind
And Lord it's killin' me to see her cry
She knows I'm lyin' her beside her with Linda on my mind

Yes I know that I once loved her and I place 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 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

That I'm laying 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 cry
She knows I'm lyin' her beside her with Linda on my mind

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

Baby's Gone

Conway Twitty - Bill Parks

© Tree Pub, BMI

My hand is tremblin' 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 laid 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 baby's gone

Baby's gone she couldn't stand to tell me face to face...

Touch The Hand

Conway Twitty - Ron Peterson

Today I heard my woman say somethin' I never heard her say before
She told me she was gonna leave me and that she didn't love me anymore
But I know that the love and kindness and the understanding
That she had when I first met her is still there somewhere
So I'm gonna get down on my knees and I'm gonna say to my baby

Touch the hand of the man that made you a woman
Then tell me you don't love me anymore

I was the first man to ever
Hold you in a special kind of way
And those unfamiliar feelings that caused you to tremble
I know you remember today

Before you decide you're gonna leave me
And do things you've never done before
Touch the hand of the man that made you a woman
Then tell me you don't love me anymore

The two lips that once held sweet surprises
Surprised me and said goodbye today
And those two lovin' arms that used to reach for me
Just reached out and pushed me away

I know you believe you don't love me
Before you walk out that door
Touch the hand of the man that made you a woman
Then tell me you don't love me anymore

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 rule 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
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

Fifteen Years Ago

Raymond Smith

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
Takes a mighty strong love to keep a man thinkin' of
A girl he hasn't seen since fifteen years ago
[ steel ]
I've got a lovely wife who thinks the world of me
Promised her my love through all eternity
I've tried hard to make her happy and so far she doesn't know
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
Takes a mighty long time to get a real love off your mind
I know I've tried since fifteen years ago

Don't Cry Joni

Conway Twitty

© Twitty Bird Music, BMI

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

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

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

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 can't wait for you

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

Jimmy please say you'll wait for me...

I packed my clothes and I caught a plane
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
Things weren't like they were before
My teardrops fell like rain that day
When I heard what Joni had to say

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

She Needs Someone To Hold Her When She Cries

Raymond Smith

© Hello Darlin' Music, SESAC

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 for 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 leaving Lord she didn't want to go
But she thinks I don't love her or I 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'll cry

I'm Not Through Loving You Yet

Conway Twitty - L.E. White

© Tree Pub, BMI

You came to me and you threw me with a simple goodbye
I begged your forgiveness but you won't even try
You just say that it's all over that you'll soon forget
Ah but I still remember I'm not through loving you yet

No I'm not through loving you
I just need some time to make the plans that we made come true
Now you're tiring of trying and soon I'll regret
That I couldn't hold you I'm not through loving you yet
[ steel ]
No I'm not through loving you...
