I'll Forgive But I'll Never Forget Lyrics by Don Williams
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
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.

(Repeat Chorus)
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.      (Repeat Chorus)
