Lyrics of Please Forgive My Heart by Bobby Womack
verse
I could try to say I′m sorry
But that won't be quite enough
To let you know the pain that I feel
And it just won′t let up
(Let up, let up, let up)
Oh, it feels like the sky is falling
And the clouds
Clouds are closing in
Where did I lose control?
Where did it all begin?
chorus
Please forgive my heart
It's not that the problem
Lies anywhere in there
I'm a liar
I′m in a dream
Going my own way
Nothing to rely on
verse
Oh, the dawn is a silent witness
To the blindness of the night
And we see a reflection so clear
In the blush
Blush of the morning light
Time can pass so slowly
When you face the burden down
Your term is not commuted
It lingers, lingers without a sound
chorus
Please forgive my heart
Not that the problem, problem
Lies anywhere in there
I′m a liar
I'm in a dream
Going on my own
Nothing to rely on
Oh, please forgive
Forgive my heart
It′s not that the problem
Lies anywhere in there
I'm a liar
I′m in a dream
Can't you see me going on my way?
Nothing to rely on
Rely on, rely on, yeah
Writer(s): Richard Leslie Russell, Damon Albarn, Bobby Womack, Harold Timothy Payne
