Biography

American Country singing star who started out singing rock & roll. Originally a '50s rock & roll singer, Conway Twitty became the reigning country superstar of the '70s and '80s, racking up a record 40 number one hits over the course of two decades. With his deep, resonant down-home voice, Twitty was one of the smoothest balladeers to work in Nashville during the country-pop era, but he was also one of the most adventurous. More than any other singer, he was responsible for selling country as an "adult" music, slipping sexually suggestive lyrics into his lush productions, yet never singing misogynist lyrics; by and large, his songs were sensitive and sensual, which is part of the reason why he achieved such a large success. Once Twitty reached the top of the country charts in the late '60s, he stayed there for years on end, releasing a consistent stream of Top Ten hits that both defined and expanded the limitations of country-pop by adding subtle R&B, pop, and rock & roll influences. Though he had some pop success, Twitty remained country to the core; occasionally, his song titles were simply too corny, which was why he retained his popularity until his death in 1993, aged 59. Son [a=Michael Twitty], daughter [a=Joni Twitty], daughter [a=Kathy Twitty], and son [a=Jimmy Twitty].

LYRICS

Lying all alone in this midnight blue
With nothing but these memories of you
Staring at these walls that are closing in
Wondering if you're ever coming back again
Now I'm just a prisoner in this big old bed
Living with the things that I should've said
Why is it always after someone's gone
That you can see where you went wrong

I couldn't see you leaving
But I can see you're gone
That note you left on my pillow
Said I was on my own

I never heard you crying
'Cause I was seldom home
I couldn't see you leaving
But I can see you're gone

I just keep wondering where you are tonight
And if someone else is holding you tight
It took you walking out the door to see
That I'm really nothing when you're not with me

I did a good job of fooling myself
Thinking that you're love would stay on the shelf
But how could anybody be so blind
To have to wake up alone and find

I couldn't see you leaving
But I can see you're gone
That note you left on my pillow
Said I was on my own

I never heard you crying
'Cause I was seldom home
I couldn't see you leaving
But I can see you're gone

I couldn't see you leaving
But I can see you're gone
