I'll Forgive and I'll Try to Forget

I'll Forgive and Try to Forget - Colette/Jivebeat Country

It's ten years since you told me you loved me

But alas you have broken your vow

My head it is bent down with sorrow

And my heart it is lonely just now

Saying why did you try to deceive me

When you knew that my heart it was true

True to you who is now going to leave me

I'm parting forever with you

Give me back every fond word once spoken

Let it be though we never had met

And I will return every token

I'll forgive and I'll try to forget

Oh do you remember the evening

When the moon through the trees it did shine

With a smile and a kiss as a token

You promise that you would be mine

I'll give back every fond little token

First the ring and the lock of your hair

And the card with your picture upon it

With the face that is false as it's fair

Give me back every fond word once spoken

Let it be though we never had met

And I will return every token

I'll forgive and I'll try to forget

I'll forgive and I'll try to forget
