콘웨이 트위티(Conway Twitty, 1933년 ~ 1993년)는 미국의 가수이다. 아칸소 주의 메리애나에서 태어났다. 어릴 때부터 기타를 치며 능숙하게 노래를 불러 갈채를 받았다. 1954년에 MGM에 전속이 되어 자작한 《변죽울림》이 큰 인기를 얻었다. 이어 《론리 블루 보이》, 《대니 보이》 등으로 인기를 굳혔다.
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...
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...
I've known you since you were a schoolgirl Saw the smoke turn to fire in your eyes From the window of my room I watched a young girl bloom Saw the woman in you come alive
Watched you fall in love a time or two I saw you get hurt once or twice And you'd come running over, cry on my shoulder Sometimes I'd get to hold you all night
There in my arms you'd lay soft and warm You never felt the writing on the wall You never knew how I wanted you I was the boy next door, that's all Just the boy next door, that's all
I watched you drift away out of my reach I never got to hold you again And here in my heart is the saddest part We'll never know how it might have been
There in my arms you'd lay soft and warm I sure love to catch you when you fall But you never knew how I wanted you I was the boy next door, that's all Just the boy next door, that's all
Do you ever think about me, honey? The boy next door, that's all
While she stands there Staring in a mirror He lays there Sleeping through it all She cries deep inside Where he can't hear her And turns to hide the tears When they fall.
The years have only come between them Memories fill the empty time that's left But it only hurts her more to remember When love was something else.
She combs her hair Then quietly fluffs her pillow As she lays down She turns off the light She collects her thoughts And listens to the silence While she lays awake alone again tonight.
The years have only come between them Memories fill the empty time that's left But it only hurts her more to remember When love was something else.
She was young and she was pretty And she met him in the city And somehow he fit right into her plan She knew she hit it lucky He owned half of Kentucky and best of all, He was a sixty year old man.
She let him think he'd caught her She led him to the alter Totin' seven carats on her hand All dressed up in satin Aw' the good Lord wasted that one But she knew she'd be the winner in the end.
'Cause she only meant to use him She only meant to use him And she didn't care if what she did was wrong She only meant to use him And she knew what she was doing In a few years she'd be rich and he'd be gone.
--- Instrumental ---
In their million dollar palace The man grew old and jealous And he never let her leave the house alone She was in her prime and holding But she knew that he was old And chances were he wouldn't be around that long.
As the days and nights grew longer The greed in her grewstronger And it even crossed her mind to take his life But he found out he'd been taken And his pride was badly shakened And he knew she never meant to be a wife.
She only meant to use him She only meant to use him But she knew what she wanted in the end She only meant to use him. But he knew what she was doing And he swore she'd never have a dime to spend.
Tormented by frustration She watched her beauty wasting As the lines upon her face began to show She turned to heavy drinkin' 'Cause her ship was slowly sinking And the bottle was the only place to go.
Now 20 odd years later The headlines in the paper Said they laid her soul to rest at 53 And when they wheeled him to her coffin He took her diamond off And he just smiled and finally died at 93.
She only meant to use him Lord knows she meant to use him But she died with seven carats on her hand All dressed in satin Aw' the good Lord wasted that one But her husband died a satisfied old man.
She was young and she was pretty And she met him in the city And somehow he fit right into her plan She knew she hit it lucky He owned half of Kentucky and best of all, He was a sixty year old man...
In a way I'm glad it's over, Even though it's gonna hurt me once you're gone I can learn to live without you, Give me time and I can make it on my own.
Lovin' you to me came easy Now losing you will change my life no doubt And in a way I'm glad it's over, In another way it turns me inside out.
In a way I guess it's better, Even though there's nothing good about goodbye And I know I couldn't hold you, Now you've found your wings and you need room to fly.
And it's for sure I'm gonna miss you, But I guess that's what goodbye is all about And in a way I'm glad it's over, But in another way it turns me inside out.
On the one hand I know I'll be better off once you're gone, But I find a lot of heartache on the other And I can't say I'll look forward To those nights I'll spend alone And I wonder w! ill there ever be another.
Loving you to me came easy, Now losing you will change my life no doubt And in a way I'm glad it's over, In another way it turns me inside out.
Yes, in a way I'm glad it's over, But in another way it turns me inside out...
Well, I know a lady in Alabam' And one or two in Louisian' And when my troubles feel like the weight of the world I go to the arms of those southern girls.

A Mississippi miss will set you free And so will those ladies up in Tennessee And if you ain't had yourself a Georgia kiss You don't know what you have missed.

I was the first to hold you in my arms so tight I was the first to thrill you with a kiss goodnight I was the first to stir your feelin's new and strange I was the first and that's the one thing he can't change.
I was the first to take advantage of your youth I was the first to whisper love words for the truth I was the first to break your heart in two and yet I was the first and I know that you can't forget.
He can't stop these feelings that keep runnin' through his mind Things you couldn't help that happened long before his time I know he won't admit it but it's true and Lord it hurts To think that when he's lovin' you, I was the first.
I was the first to kiss your lips and hold your hand I was the first to ever touch you as a man I was the first to take your innocence then run I was your first; I took a girl and made a woman.
We've already done the things that he's got on his mind Things you couldn't help that happened long before his time I know he won't admit it but it's true and Lord it hurts To think that when he's lovin' you, I was the first.
I know he won't admit it but it's true and Lord it hurts To think that when he's lovin' you, I was the first Sometimes he wishes he was me 'cause I was the first Lord, I'd give anything if I had only been the last...
Well, Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa men have named you You're so like a lady with a mystic smile Is it only 'cause you're lonely they have named you For that Mona Lisa strain that's in your smile

Look a-yonder coming, coming down that railroad track. I said, Look a-yonder coming Coming down that long railroad track Well, it's that long black train Gonna bring my baby back.
Well, she loved me in the winter Lord, I almost froze to death She didn't even warm me She's a fact of frozen lips.
My baby hit the road a-running Looking for that long black train (That long black train) Lord, and I began to wonder Will I see that girl again (If I see my girl again).
Well, I don't know why she left me But I do know that she's gone But look a-yonder coming Lord My baby's coming home.
I said, now look a-yonder coming Coming down that long railroad track (That long railroad track) Well, it's that long black train Gonna bring my baby back (Gonna bring my baby back).

Well, I can see her black smoke rollin' I can hear her whistle whine She's just around the curve She's moving fast that line on down.
I said, now look a-yonder coming Coming down that long railroad track (That long railroad track) Yes, it's that long black train Gonna bring my baby back (Gonna bring my baby back) (Gonna bring my baby back) (That long black train, Lord) (That long black train, Lord) (That long black train, Lord) (That long black train, Lord)...
