Sweet Forgiveness |
| Sweet forgiveness, that’s what you give to me |
| When you hold me close |
| And you say: «That's all over.» |
| You don’t go looking back |
| You don’t hold the cards to stack |
| Because you mean what you say |
| Sweet forgiveness, you help me see |
| I’m not near as bad |
| As I sometimes appear to be |
| When you hold me close |
| And you say: «That's all over |
| «And I still love you.» |
| There’s no way that I could make up |
| For those angry words I said |
| Sometimes it gets to hurting |
| And the pain goes to my head |
| Sweet forgiveness, dear God above |
| I say we all deserve |
| A taste of this kind of love |
| Someone who’ll hold our hand |
| And whisper: «I understand |
| «And I still love you.» |
