You ask me to forgive you little darling
      G7                      C 
To forget that our plans were upset
                        F
I try oh so hard not to remember
        G7                      C
I'll forgive you but I can't forget

                         F
Somewhere I hope you are happy
      G7                       C  
And I hope your heart holds no regrets
                                    F
Each night I pray the Lord to watch o'er you
        G7                      C  
I'll forgive you but I can't forget
 
                                 F
The sadness of our parting still lingers
   G7                        C
My eyes from tears are still wet
                        F
I'll always love you forever
        G7                   C
I'll forgive you but I can't forget

                              F
Now that you've left me for another
       G7                C  
What a pity that we ever met
                                F
For life's not worth living without you
        G7                   C
I’ll forgive you but I can't forget
