Making Plans
Conway Twitty Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You say tomorrow you're going
It's so hard for me to believe
I'm making plans for the heartaches
Cause you're making plans to leave

The tears for me will be falling
Like a tree shedding its leaves
I'm making plans for the teardrops
Cause you're making plans to leave

You're making plans to forget me
And I'm making plans to miss you
I'm gettin' ready to grieve
I'm making plans to be lonesome
Cause you're making plans to leave





I'm making plans to be lonesome
Cause you're making plans to leave
