Conway Twitty - We Had It All Lyrics
I can hear the wind blowin' in my mind
Just the way it used to sound through the Georgia pines
And you were there to answer when I called
You and me lord knows we had it all
Remember how I used to touch your hair?
While reaching for the feelin' that was always there
You were the best thing in my life I can recall
You and me Lord, knows we had it all
I know that we can never live those times again
So I let these dreams take me back where we've been
And I stay there with you just as long as I can
Oh, it was so good (it was so good)
Oh it was so good (so good)
Oh it was so good when I was your man
--- Instrumental ---
I'll never stop believin' in your smile
And even though you didn't stay it was all worth while
You were the best thing in my life I can recall
You and me Lord knows we had it all
Yeah, You and me Lord knows we had it all...
