Conway Twitty
"After The Fire Is Gone"

Today I got a letter from someone
Just a friend we knew some time ago
And as I read between the lines I began to realize
He didn't know I'd lost you a long long time ago

Oh, I, just can't make it any longer
Everything I do is always wrong
I'm living a lie and there's no need in trying
To keep hanging on after all the good is gone

Lord I wish that I could die and there's no use in trying
To keep hanging on after all the good is gone
