Sweet Forgiveness - Section 25

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.»
