These two arms that held you close
Are the same two arms that let you go
I never thought I'd need your love again
Forgive me oh what a fool I've been

I was a fool to let you walk away
I never thought I'd want you back someday
I've hurt you time and time again
Forgive me oh what a fool I've been
[ fiddle - steel ]
I gave up the love so sweet and true
Just what any fool would do
How I'd love to kiss those lips again
Forgive me oh what a fool I've been

I was a fool to let you walk away
I should have known I'd want you back someday
I've hurt you time and time again
Forgive me oh what a fool I've been
