Loretta Lynn - God Gave Me a Heart to Forgive Lyrics

It's midnight now and I'm still all alone
It's always late each night when you come home
I stay and take each heartache that you give
'Cause God gave me a heart to forgive.

Yes, I could call these tears my closest friends
They stay with me till you come home again
You brought me every mis'ry that there is
But God gave me a heart to forgive.

You hurt me as much as you can
Then you tell me that you're just weak like any other man
Still you're the only reason that I live
And God gave me a heart to forgive.

--- Instrumental ---

You hurt me as much as you can
Then you tell me that you're just weak like any other man
Still you're the only reason that I live
And God gave me a heart to forgive...
