Accompaniment:
Lyrics
- Dear I pray, don’t turn away
I’m so sorry that I made you sad
For now I’m so blue
Let’s start anew
It’s been the first quarrell we’ve had
Chorus
Forgive me, forgive me
My aching heart is just breaking
Because I’m to blame, must I plead in vain
My happiness you are taking
Won’t you forgive me, forgive me
I’ll drive away every tear
You’ve often heard it told
That love turns dark clouds into gold
Forgive me, dear
- Think of all those happy hours
That we spent in the sweet long ago
Just dry every tear
Let’s make up dear
For you know that I love you so
