Don Williams - I'll Forgive But I'll Never Forget Lyrics

It wasn't easy and I know it
You'd been alone much too long
I had a job and places to go
But I'd rather been right there at home

He had the time he could give you
When your lips could never find mine
And our little home was paying the price
Of love left on the vine.

[Chorus:]
Forgiveness is something
I guess that comes with time
But even at best, there's one thing I know
I'll forgive, but I'll never forget.

[Instrumental Refrain]

I guess when it's over it's over
And your time is no longer mine
But I never meant to cause all the pain
I just wanted your love for mine.

[Chorus]
