TILL THE PAIN OUTWEARS THE SHAME
(Wiley J. Smith)

Loretta Lynn - 1972
Conway Twitty - 1973



 
It's common knowledge everybody knows I love you
We're cheatin' 'cause you wear another's name
Every night I swear tomorrow I'll forget you, Lord I can't
I'll keep hurtin' till the pain outwears the shame

So I'll be back in your arms again tomorrow
We'll let a spark of stolen love become a burning flame
It's wrong and I should go, but when I do I know
I'll be hurtin' till the pain outwears the shame

(Instrumental Break)

Tonight I'll love you for the last time, then I'll say goodbye
But down inside I know it's all in vain
Before I leave the hurt's already startin', I can't go
I think it's over till the pain outwears the shame

So I'll be back in your arms again tomorrow
We'll let a spark of stolen love become a burning flame
It's wrong and I should go, but when I do I know
I'll be hurtin' till the pain outwears the shame
