AIN'T IT SAD TO STAND AND WATCH LOVE DIE
(Mickey Jaco)

Conway Twitty - 1968



 
Ain't it sad to stand and watch love die
Ain't it sad to stand and watch love die
Unfaithful wife, I took her life in the twinklin' of an eye
And ain't it sad to stand and watch love die

I found her in the arms of my best friend
And I vowed she's never gonna hurt me again
And in a fit of anger, I shoot them where they lie
And the last words she spoke, "God, forgive me", then she died
And ain't it sad to stand and watch love die

(Instrumental Break)

The neighbours gathered round so they could see
"Oh, my God, what have you done," they started askin' me
So I placed a gun up to my head and this was my reply
"Neighbour, ain't it sad to stand and watch love die"

Ain't it sad to stand and watch love die
Neighbour, ain't it sad to stand and watch love die
Oh, ain't it sad to stand and watch love die
