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

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 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"
