I'll Forgive You, but I Can't Forget

Roy Acuff

You ask me to forgive you, little darling
 To forget that our plans were upset
 I try oh so hard not to remember
 I'll forgive you but I can't forget

 Somewhere I hope you are happy
 And I hope your heart holds no regrets
 Each night I pray the Lord to watch o'er you
 I'll forgive you but I can't forget

 The sadness of our parting still lingers
 My eyes from tears are still wet
 I'll always love you forever
 I'll forgive you but I can't forget

 Now that you've left me for another
 What a pity that we ever met
 For life's not worth living without you
 I'll forgive you but I can't forget
