Conway Twitty Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hello darlin'
Nice to see you
It's been a long time
You're just as lovely as you used to be

How's your new love?
Are you happy?
Hope you're doin' fine
Just to know it means so much to me

What's that darlin'?
How am I doin'?
Guess I'm doin' alright
Except I can't sleep
And I cry all night 'til dawn

What I'm tryin' to say is
I love you and I miss you
And I'm so sorry that I did you wrong

Look up, darlin'
Let me kiss you
Just for old time's sake
Let me hold you in my arms one more time

Thank you, darlin'
May God bless you
And may each step you take bring you closer
To the things you seek to find

Goodbye, darlin'
Got to go now
Got to try to find a way
To lose these memories
Of a love so warm and true

And if you should ever find it in your heart to forgive me




Come back, darlin'
I'll be waiting for you

Overall Meaning

Conway Twitty's song "Hello Darlin'" is a beautiful yet melancholic track that perfectly captures the sentiment of love gone wrong. The opening lyrics, "Hello darlin', nice to see you, it's been a long time, you're just as lovely as you used to be," immediately set the scene of a reunion between ex-lovers. The nostalgia in Conway's voice is palpable as he enquires about his ex's new love and expresses his hope that she is happy. It's clear that Conway still has feelings for his ex-lover and that he regrets breaking her heart.


The chorus beautifully expresses both Conway's love for his ex and his heartbreak. "What I'm tryin' to say is I love you and I miss you, and I'm so sorry that I did you wrong." As the song progresses, it's clear that Conway has been struggling to sleep and that his heartbreak is keeping him up at night. The bridge of the song is particularly poignant as he asks his ex to look up and let him kiss her, "just for old time's sake".


The final verse sees Conway bidding farewell to his ex-lover, acknowledging that he needs to find a way to move on from the memories of their love. He asks for her forgiveness before inviting her to return to him if she finds it in her heart to do so.


In concluding, "Hello Darlin'" is a powerful and emotional song that perfectly captures the feelings of an ex-lover who has lost the person they love. The track's melody and Conway's voice combine to make for a beautiful listening experience that will leave an impact on any listener.

Old country music is WAY BETTER than new country music. Who agrees?

My dad adopted me as a 8 month year old baby and he was like in his 65 years old and he would drive me to elementary through high school and blast Conway on the way to school or on the way home. I basically grew up to this song. These songs were so catchy and they will forever hold a place in my heart along with my beauiful, graceful, most wonderful, loving dad ever. He passed away last December and I miss him everyday. 😊❤

@Croucher72649

I’m very sorry for your loss

@rhondar.hudgins5748

I'm so sorry for your loss. August 10, 2022, my Daddy went home to be with Jesus. He loved Conway also. He chose to love me when he met my Mother and fell in love with her (I had just turned 3), and when I was 5 he decided to give me his name, also and adopted me. I know what you mean when you say you miss your Dad. I pray God will comfort you always.
