I've Never Been This far Before

Loretta Lynn · They Don't Make 'Em Like My Daddy [1974]

(Conway Twitty)



I can almost hear the stillness

As it yelds to the sound of my heart beating

And I can almost hear the echo

Of the thoughts that I know you must be thinking.



You can feel my body tremble

As I wonder what this moment holds in store

And as you put my arms around me

You can tell I've never been this far before.



I can hear you say you love me

As your trembling fingers touch forbidden places

(Pum, pum, pum)

But you don't know how I've waited

So long for the chance that we're finally takin'.

(Pum, pum, pum)



I don't know and I don't care

What made you tell her you don't love her anymore

As I taste your tender kisses

You can tell I've never been this far before.

(Pum. pum, pum)



And as you take the love I'm givin'

I can feel the tension buildin' in my mind

(Pum, pum, pum, pum pum, pum)

Now I wonder if tomorrow

Will you still love me like you're lovin' me tonight.

(Pum, pum, pum, pum, pum, pum).



Oh, you have no way of knowin'

But tonight will only make me want you more

And I hope that you'll believe me

'Cause you know I've never been this far before.

(Pum, pum, pum, pum, pum, pum)

(Pum, pum, pum)...
