Conway Twitty – We Did but Now You Don’t lyrics

Falling into love so young seemed so right
How could we know we’d grow up and grow apart
All we really wanted was each other in the night
But, it’s plain to see we’ve had a change of heart.

The day we said I do I really did and so did you
Love came so easy, coming true
I wish we could find that love again but I’m afraid we won’t
‘Cause when we said I do we really did but now you don’t.

Wedding vows are just no good if you let ’em fade
And rings don’t mean a thing when feelings die
There just a grim reminder of the love that we once made
And the loneliness ahead for you and I.

The day we said I do I really did and so did you
Love came so easy, coming true
I wish we could find that love again but I’m afraid we won’t
‘Cause when we said I do we really did but now you don’t.

The day we said I do I really did and so did you
Love came so easy, coming true
I wish we could find that love again but I’m afraid we won’t
‘Cause when we said I do we really did but now you don’t…
