Forgiveness (Chris Hillman/Steve Hill)


It's been a long time since I've heard those words spoken
I've had a long time to learn goodbye
It takes a long time to heal the heart that's been broken
Forgiveness is a word I wanna live by

How can this be you want to surrender
I'll admit I want the same 
And we'll leave the past behind, let old flames turn to cinder
Forgiveness is a word I wanna live by
Lovin' you's the words to make it right

Holdin' on, takin' one more chance
We can only fall so far
Before we find that perfect circumstance
To remind us who we are tonight

So tonight say the word and I'll have an answer
Tonight we'll start all over again
You won't be the heartbreaker and I won't be the dancer
Forgiveness is a word I wanna live by
Lovin' you's the words to make it right

Forgiveness is a word I wanna live by
Lovin' you's the words to make it right


Chris Hillman, Like A Hurricane, 1998
