Lyrics for Song: Forgiving You Was Easy
Lyrics for Album: Me and Paul



Forgiving you was easy,forgeting seems to take the longest time.
I just keep thinking and your memory is forever on my mind.
You know I'll aways love you and I can't forget the day when you were mine.

Forgiving you was easy but forgetting seems to take the longest time.

The bitter fruit of anger growing from the seeds of jealousy.
Oh what a heart ache but I forgive the things you said to me.
For I believe forgiving is the only way I'll find peace of mind.

Forgiving you was easy but forgeting seems to take the longest time.

The years have past so quickly,
As once again they've sealed a young man's dream of all the golden years
And growing old together you and me.

You ask me to forgive you.
You said there was another on your mind,
Forgiving you was easy but forgetting seems to take the longest time....


Forgiving You Was Easy

Willie Nelson's 'Forgiving You Was Easy,' from the 1994 album Me and Paul, captures the quiet resilience found in letting go. Recorded with his longtime collaborator Paul E. Smith, the track exemplifies Nelson's signature blend of country storytelling and acoustic simplicity. The song reflects a mature perspective on relationships, emphasizing the peace that comes from releasing past grievances rather than holding onto them. As part of Nelson's extensive discography, this recording continues his tradition of exploring themes of love, loss, and redemption with understated power. Its enduring appeal lies in its honest delivery and the warmth of its musical arrangement, making it a fitting addition to any collection of classic country ballads.
