[Verse 1]
Forgiving you was easy
But forgetting seems to take the longest time
I just keep thinking
And your memory is forever on my mind
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
The bitter fruit of anger
Growing from the seeds of jealousy
Oh, what a heartache
But I forgive the things you said to me
[Chorus]
'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
[Instrumental]
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
[Chorus]
You asked me to forgive you
You said there was another on your mind
And forgiving you is easy
But forgetting seems to take the longest time
[Outro]
Forgiving you is easy
But forgetting seems to take the longest time
