Sweet forgiveness, Thats what you give me,
When you hold me close, and you say,
"Thats all over"
You dont go looking back,
You dont hold the cards to stack,
You mean what you say,
Sweet forgiveness,you help me see,
I'm not near as bad, and I sometimes,
appear to be,
When you hold me close and say,
"Thats all over and I still love you"
Theres 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"
