Bye Bye Love
Conway Twitty · Louisana Woman Mississippi Man (Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn [1973]
Bye bye love, bye bye happiness
Hello loneliness, I think I'm a gonna cry.
Bye bye my love bye bye.
There goes my baby
With someone new
She sure looks happy
And I sure am blue.
She was my baby
Till he stepped in
Goodbye to romance
That might have been.
Bye bye love, bye bye happiness
Hello loneliness, I think I'm a gonna cry.
Bye bye love, bye bye sweet caress
Hello emptiness, I feel like I could die.
Bye bye my love, bye bye.
Well, I'm through with you Conway
I'm through with love
Yeah, I'm through with countin' the stars above
And here's the reason that I'm so free
My lovin' baby is through with me.
Bye bye love, bye bye happiness
Hello loneliness, I think I'm a gonna cry.
Bye bye love, bye bye sweet caress
Hello emptiness, I feel like I could die.
Bye bye my love, bye bye.
Bye bye love, bye bye happiness
Hello loneliness, I think I'm a gonna cry.
Bye bye love, bye bye sweet caress
Hello emptiness, I feel like I could die.
Bye bye my love, bye bye...
