It's been a long time since I've heard those words spoken I've had a long time to learn goodbye It takes a long time to heal a heart that's been broken Forgiveness is a word I want to live by How can this be you want to surrender I'll admit I want the same And we'll leave the past behind Let old flames turn to cinder Forgiveness is a word I want to live by Lovin' you is a word to make it right Holdin' on taking one more chance We can only fall so far Before we find that perfect circumstance To remind us of who we are tonight SOLO So tonight say the word And I'll have an answer Tonight we'll start all over again You won't be the heartbreaker And I won't be the dancer Forgiveness is a word I want to live by Lovin' you is the word to make it right Forgiveness is a word I want to live by Lovin' you is the word to make it right From Chris Hillman 'Like A Hurricane' Sugar Hill Records 1998 Bar None Music(BMI)/Me And My House Music(BMI)
