Conway Twitty You've Never Been This Far Before Lyrics

I can almost hear the stillness

as it yields to the sound of your heart beating

and I can almost hear the echo

of the thoughts that I know you must be thinking

and I can feel your body tremble

as you wonder what this moment holds in store

and as I put my arms around you

I can tell you've never been this far before

 

I don't know what I'm saying 

as my trembling fingers touch forbidden places

I only know that I have waited

for so long for the chance that we are taking

I don't know and I don't care

what made you tell him you don't love him anymore

and as I taste your tender kisses 

I can tell you've never been this far before

 

and as I take the love you're giving

I can feel the tension building in your mind

and you're wondering if tomorrow

I'll still love you like I'm loving you tonight

you have no way of knowing 

but tonight will only make me love you more

and I hope that you'll believe me

'cause I know you've never been this far before
