Forgiving you was easy but forgetting Seems to take the longest time I just keep thinking And your memory is forever on my mind You know I'll always love you And I can't forget the days when you were mine Forgiving you is easy But forgetting seems to take the longest time The bitter fruit of anger growing Growing from the seeds of jealousy Oh what a heartache but I forgive The things you said to me Cause I believe forgiving Is the only way that I'll find peace of mind And forgiving you is easy But forgetting seems to take the longest time The years have passed so quickly as once again Fate steals a young man's dreams Of all the golden years And growing old together you and me You asked me to forgive you You said there was another on your mind Forgiving you is easy But forgetting seems to take the longest time Forgiving you is easy But forgetting seems to take the longest time
