PLEASE FORGIVE


Demo recording by Jim Reeves
Please forgive and then forget me -
I'll never be the one for you...
Before your lips become too tempting,
look around for someone new.

Just because your love is true -
That doesn't mean that mine is too...
I'll hold you close, so close, just for a day.
And when I'm gone, your heart will break.

Leave me now, before it's much too late,
And the love you have for me has turned to hate...

Please walk away, away, for you've been warned -
I'll only hurt you if you let me...
Linger not until the storm.
Please forgive and then forget me.
