You ask me to forgive you, little darling

To forget that our plans were upset

I try oh so hard not to remember

I'll forgive you but I can't forget



Somewhere I hope you are happy

And I hope your heart holds no regrets

Each night I pray the Lord to watch o'er you

I'll forgive you but I can't forget



The sadness of our parting still lingers

My eyes from tears are still wet

I'll always love you forever

I'll forgive you but I can't forget



Now that you've left me for another

What a pity that we ever met

For life's not worth living without you

I’ll forgive you but I can't forget
