Conley, Earl Thomas - What I'd Say Lyrics






Talkin' to the mirror
Whisperin your name
Just like you were here, you'd think I was insane
I hold these conversations in the silence of my room
Rehearsing all the things I'd say should I run into you

How's it going might be what I'd say
You broke my heart you know
Or it looks like rain today
Or maybe god I missed you since you went away
Your lookin' well
Or go to hell might be what I'd say

There's times I feel so angry I'd put my fist right through the wall
Then there's times I've come so close to giving you a call
I love you and I hate you all at the same time
I pray that you'll come back to me before I lose my mind

How's it going might be what I'd say
You broke my heart you know
Or it looks like rain today
Or maybe god I missed you since you went away
Your lookin' well
Or go to hell might be what I'd say

Guess you'll have to wait until that day
To find out what I'd say

God I missed you since you went away
Your looking well
Or go to hell
Might be what I'd say

  6. T.... N....

    Ohhhhhh the memories. This came out shortly after my divorce a lifetime ago. Knew it well. Lol. Truly miss the good yrs of country. Rock. And Motown. Music now just is not as good. Actually nothing is a good as we had it in the 70s and 80s. Great time to grow up. Lol.

  7. P.... R....

    Rose-colored glasses

  8. P.... L....

    so sad we lost him

  9. M.... A....

    Who's cruisin' tonight listen to the real CLASSIC Country like ETC ?

  10. S.... S....

    Another Legend that does not get enough credit

  11. J.... R....

    ETC was among the best!! Truly missed 😔🎶🎶

  12. B.... H....

    When I trying to find country music on the radio, I ask my self what am I listing to. It's not country music at all.

  13. R.... R....

    It gets absolutely NO BETTER than ETC! What happened to music? Why are there no singers of this quality anymore? Or are there and I just don't know about it?

  14. J.... G....

    Thanks .

  15. D.... J....

    what a man, gave so much of his money to feed the hungry , my greatest respects to you, etc, what a great man.

  16. M.... D....

    Such a great singer who I always felt never got the recognition he deserved..E.T.C was one of a chosen few who could paint a picture with his words and make you feel them everyone...R.I.P

  17. J.... N....

    as
    ,q a

  18. J.... B....

    Sad truth.

  19. F.... W....

    So Nice.

  20. F.... W....

    Good Song.

  21. W.... S....

    I rarely ever even turn a radio on anymore. Hick-hop garbage doesn’t interest me in the least. Real music lasts and shallow noise is considered “played out” after a few months.

  22. M.... W....

    RIP Earl Thomas Conley ...

  23. j.... W....

    Rip now he is with his brother Keith Whitley

  24. B.... G....

    Been searching all day for the perfect song to explain exactly how I feel about my ex. This song is Definitely it down to a T!

  25. J.... L....

    Portsmouth Legend = to keith whitley ,verne gosdin, greatest voice!true gentleman grown mans music here boys!

  26. a.... w....

    This music is so good and so fine. When we lose singers like this they cannot be replaced.

  27. E.... H....

    1 of the best country songs of the 80's

  28. C.... m....

    Love the song Thanks for the memories!

  29. D.... S....

    Still love him and i can relate to this song.

  30. T.... L....

    "I pray that you come back to me before I lose my mind"..... Felt that. 💔😭

  31. w.... s....

    damn good music

  32. L.... N....

    Silhouette the best

  33. L.... N....

    Serious song

  34. M.... H....

    One of the greatest of all time ETC !!!

  35. D.... B....

    One of my favorite singers. I seen ETC in concert many times, and always loved his music. R.I.P Earl.

  36. S.... L....

    Beautiful, heartbreaking ballad. Hits real close to home. I've had these same conversations in my head about what I'd say if I ever saw my ex wife again. R.I.P Earl Thomas Conley. A true legend, gone but never forgotten

  37. T.... Q....

    God I Love this Singer!

  38. D.... S....

    This was when country music had heart touched ya to your soul! This one hits home for me because I'll always love her no matter what wish a woman would come along and make me that happy again or she would come back

  39. R.... M....

    So beautiful but so sad. Love can be so cruel and wonderful.

  40. s.... ....

    This is what made country music "Country". Simple songs about real life situations. Nashville, take note. This is what country is. And what it should be. Timeless.

  41. a.... ....

    Most honest song ever...

  42. M.... S....

    He was a real original! I am sad that he is gone and cannot continue what could have been a legendary career. Earl T C was a poet. I liked his melancholy. Nobody did a sad song better, period.

  43. J.... G....

    Back, again...one of those days. Changing of the seasons, I guess. We all have that ONE that still stops us in our tracks and makes us wonder "what if..." :"What if's will drive a person insane! RIP ETC Ya had the gift of verbalizing my heart

  44. T.... W....

    Rip peace a living legend

  45. R.... G....

    Sad part is you spend all this time thinking of what you'd do, when in reality, if they gave a shlt about your feelings they'd not be gone in the first place.

  46. J.... A....

    What would you say John?

  47. W.... D....

    Definitely would be ,go to HELL.

  48. A.... C....

    You're looking well or go to hell, best line in this song!

  49. W.... C....

    I loved and played all of your beautiful songs..Thank you for the melodies...Rest In Paradise

  50. D.... H....

    Enjoying a nice evening listening to the cricket's and my favorite song. Hope you are enjoying yours too.

  51. P.... K....

    Growing up listening to these songs as my dad and i hung out. Wow..the moments these old songs recall.

  52. B.... T....

    E.T.C ( NATION ) STILL LIVES ON...

  53. A.... ....

    "God I've missed you..." Lord what a song!

  54. J.... A....

    Living this right now

  55. M.... M....

    I hope you say that you missed me and you want me home again. Praying for us everyday.

  56. T.... S....

    Love that song

  57. J.... S....

    Tiff... since you moved to Utah I took this 3300 mile road trip on my motorcycle to TRY to get over you. It ended up being 3300 long lonely miles thinking of you and everything we did. I miss you but it doesn’t change anything. You’ll always be my favorite what if ... always yours

  58. B.... H....

    E.T.C. WAS ALWAYS ONE OF MY FAVORITES

  59. P.... K....

    David Ball, "When the thought of you crosses my mind"

  60. P.... K....

    I have immediate flashbacks man..I remember these songs, the places i was and that era. Wow..its like it was a different dimension. The music, the people and the times were different. Iys wasn't about the music but the story. These songs kust make a person think

  61. U.... 3....

    I hope you got that chance, Mr Conley.

    Rest In Peace, sir.

    And thank you, Miss Dandelion, for sharing with us. I hope you've mended now and that you've found a new love who keeps your heart safe. God bless.

  62. R.... M....

    I won tickets in 1984 when I was 15 yrs old on 95 WKSJ here in Mobile Alabama to see Hank Williams Jr in Pensacola Fl...Earl Thomas Conley opened for Hank.
    Me & my best friend...MY DAD went to the concert...it was the 1st concert me & Pop ever went to together...THAT WAS A GREAT NIGHT & CONCERT!!!.I sure do miss Pop!!!

  63. A.... C....

    I WISH COUNTRY MUSIC WAS STILL THIS PURE.

  64. J.... H....

    I would have like the group Shenandoah to do this song. Sounds alot like some of there music. But ETC does a great job with song.

  65. b.... ....

    love broken, hurting song.

  66. S.... W....

    Very sad to hear of ETC's passing.....such a great country artist.

  67. M.... A....

    Man.. that's deep. We've all been here..

  68. S.... S....

    Thought of this song today because of my past relationship. Then I got sad because I knew Mr. Conley died last month. He's probably the most underrated singer of the 80's. R. I. P
    Earl. They don't make them like you anymore!

  69. T.... W....

    Go to hell might be what I'd say

  70. R.... E....

    what would you say,,

  71. s.... ....

    Still will always listen to ETC and value his contributions to the music industry.

  72. M.... ....

    How sad no funeral or tribute - nothing in his honor. While it was supposedly his wishes per his live-in girlfriend, not his wife (yes he was still married) it just is sad that the public was not able to say goodbye. The words of this song really mean alot today.

    M.... ....

    What a wonderfully sweet comment.

  73. C.... M....

    Earl Thomas I'm glad there is your country being played on several classic country stations out there
    Caden Monier

  74. M.... W....

    One of the best songs of all time.

  79. D.... S....

    rip for ever loved and missed

  80. K.... N....

  81. L.... B....
