Forgive me now cause I Have been unfaithful Don't ask me why cause I don't know So many times I've tried But was unable This heart belongs to you alone Now I'm in our secret place Alone in your embrace Where all my wrongs have been erased You have forgiven All the promises and lies All the times I compromise All the times you were denied You have forgiven Forgive me I'm ashamed I've loved another I can't explain cause I don't know No one can take your place And there is no other Forever yours and yours alone Take me to our secret place (We'll leave the world away) I get down on my knees Feel your love wash over me There will never be another You're the only one forever And you know I'm yours alone
