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                'Cause 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 onto our hand      And whisper: "I understand          And I stilllll loooove you"
