I Told My World To Go Away (And She Did) - Conway Twitty

I grew tired of the world that I was living in

I looked around and found another world to take me in

It was bright and new with the skies of blue not like my skies of grey

And so I told my world to go away

This world’s not big enough for both of us so one of us must go

My mem’ry burns with unkind words I said

This world’s not big enough so one of us must break away and so

I told my world to go away and she did

--- Instrumental ---

What makes a man think that he can turn his world away

To wander through a world that’s new and then return someday

To the one he knew was good and true the one he loved at home

I ask my world to take me back but she won’t

This world’s not big enough for both of us so one of us must go

My mem’ry burns with unkind words I said

This world’s not big enough so one of us must break away and so

I told my world to go away and she did…
