Till the Pain Outwears the Shame

Conway Twitty · You've Never Been This Far Before [1973]

(Wiley J.Smith)



It's common knowledge everybody knows I love you

When cheatin' caused you wear another's name

Every night I swear tomorrow I'll forget you Lord I can't

I'll keep hurtin' till the pain outwears the shame.



So I'll be back in your arms again tomorrow

We'd led us part a stolen love become a burning flame

It's wrong and I should go but when I do I know

I'll be hurtin' till the pain outwears the shame.



--- Instrumental ---



Tonight I love you for the last time then I'll say goodbye

But down inside I know it's all in vain

Before I'll leave the hurt's already startin' I can't go

I think it's over till the pain outwears the shame.



So I'll be back in your arms again tomorrow

We'd led us part a stolen love become a burning flame

It's wrong and I should go but when I do I know

I'll be hurtin' till the pain outwears the shame...
