Conway Twitty - The Road That I Walk (2002) by Conway Twitty (보컬) on maniadb.com

This big town is a shelter for me
I found a place to hide my misery
I lost my love so long ago
And though my heart is hurting so
The one I love will never know
As long as I stay

In this big town I find the peace of mind
That only losers in the game of love can find
The years have gone crawling by
This hurt I feel will never die
Somehow I know deep down inside
I'll never get away from this big town
From this big town

In this big town there's a street of misery
And on the street there's a dwelling place for me
In the darkness of my room I try
To sleep but all I do is cry
And still I realize that
I am ever lucky to be here

In this big town so no one else can see
Just what your cheating heart has done to me
The glimmer of the city lights
The shadows of the lonely nights
Will help to hide me while I cry
A hundred dreaded tears

In this big town
In this big town
In this big town
In this big town
In this big town

Just let me be the judge
Of what you've done and if I find
You guilty I'll erase you
From my heart and from my mind.

Talk is goin' over town
That you my love
Have let me down
I don't believe what people say.

I still love you.
I don't believe that you're to blame
I don't believe you've brought me shame.
I just can't believe that you have been untrue.

They say I should go on alone
That you've done something very wrong
That you're not worthy of the love I have for you
But I won't believe a thing they say until you say it's true.

Just let me be the judge
Of what you've done and if I find
You guilty I'd erase you
From my heart and from my mind.

--- Instrumental ---


You tell me that the things they say
are true that I should go my way
You ask me to forgive you
For the wrong you've done

You say although you've been untrue
I still mean everything to you
That you only meant to dance
With him and have some fun.

Then the jukebox played our favorite song
You knew that you were doing wrong
You closed your eyes and made believe that I was there
And now you think it's better that we'll end our love affair.

Just let me be the judge
Of what you've done and if I find
You guilty I'd erase you
From my heart and from my mind...

Album: Very Best Of Conway Twitty (Cleopatra)

Heartbreaks can't be far away
'Cause heartache just walked in.

Sittiin' in the dim cafe
Listenin' while the jukebox plays
The songs I like to hear when I'm alone
Thinkin' of my wasted past
Wonderin' if someday at last
I'll win the sweetest love
I've ever known.

Then all at once I saw him
On the arm with my best friend
Heartbreak can't be far away
'Cause heartaches just walked in.

I watched her as she smiled at him
And though the tiny lights were dim
I could see the love light shining in her eyes
With aching heart and trembling hand
It wasn't hard to understand
Why she'd someday be his wife.

And as the teardrops started
I thought of things that might have been
Heartbreak can't be far away
'Cause heartaches just walked in.

--- Instrumental ---

And then my poor heart skipped a beat
She took the table next to me
She didn't even notice I was there
But she looked around and just by chance
Our eyes met in a casual glance
She smiled and it was more than I could bare.

How could he know the way I feel
To him I'm just a friend
Heartbreak can't be far away
'Cause heartaches just walked in.

I smiled and turned the other way
My tremblin' lips just couldn't say
The way I feel, I wanted to explain
And so I guess you'll never know
How just a feiend could love you so
And hopes that he is happy just the same.

But here with just a friend
For me it is the end
Heartbreak can't be far away
'Cause heartaches just walked in.,,

And I wonder if you told her,
And I wonder if you told her about me?

Oh hello, fancy meetin' you
The girl you have with you sure looks sweet
But does she know you're talking to you're old used to be
And I wonder if you told her
Yes, I wonder if you told her about me?

It sure is good to see you, it's been a long long time
Don't think I't's foolish of me if I weep
I just can't hide the power of, so many memories
And I wonder if you told her
Yes, I wonder if you told her about me?

--- Instrumental ---

Now I can see she loves you and you can see it too
She's got you on her mind constantly
But does she know the reason why I set her free
And I wonder if you told her
Yes, I wonder if you told her about me?

The party's almost over but let me say before I'd go
I'm glad at last you found your destiny
I told her that you love her and held her tenderly
And I wonder if you told her
Yes, I wonder if you told her about me?..
