Sweet Forgiveness

[Verse]

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

[Verse]

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."

[Bridge]

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

[Verse]

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."
