Rest Your Love On Me
Performed By Conway Twitty
Written By: Barry Gibb
Album: Rest Your Love On Me/A Bridge That Just Won't Burn
Maybe you don't know me anymore than I know you
And I wouldn't blame you if you walked away
I've been watching you all evening with those teardrops in your eyes
And it touches me much more than I can say
You Know I'd hate to think that someone
Could have hurt someone like you
And if I was him
I'd be right by your side
Chorus:
Lay your troubles on my shoulder, put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me awhile
Lay your troubles on my shoulder, put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me awhile
Saw you in the corner from the moment I walked in,
Saw your lonely face across the room,
No I won't forget it and the way it could've been
Why'd you have to leave so soon
You know I'd hate to think that someone
Could have loved you more than me
And at times like this
I'd be right by your side
Repeat Chorus:
(additional verses from the original version that conway did not record)
Bridge:
How long must I wait for that last train to be here
And the last chance to come
Just to think that I was born too soon
How long honey, when the lovin' don't come
I was there when you left
Just didn't know how to begin
Repeat Chorus:
Instrumental Solo using chorus chords
Repeat Chorus:
Lay your troubles on my shoulder, put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me awhile
