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 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   And forgiving you is easy   But forgetting seems to take the longest time   Forgiving you is easy   But forgetting seems to take the longest time
