Guilty Conscience Lyrics by Carl Smith

The Essential Carl Smith

0

Oh, does a guilty conscience make you rue the day?
You let another take you from my side
While your with your new love, are you light and gay
Or does a guilty conscience hurt your pride?

Does he take you to the same old places?
Does he kiss you like I used to do?
When you see the old familiar faces
Does a guilty conscience bother you?

Have you kept my letters and my photograph?
Have they faded like this love we knew?
When you read them over does your heart regret?
And does a guilty conscience make you blue?

When the day is done and night is falling
And you see that big moon in the sky
When you lay your head upon your pillow
Does a guilty conscience make you cry?
