God Gave Me a Heart to Forgive

Loretta Lynn · You Ain't Woman Enough [1966]

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...
