Sweet Forgiveness

Sweet forgiveness, that's what you give 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
