Don't Let Our Sweet Love Die
Kitty Wells · I've Got Yesterday [1972]
I never thought when I've cheated on you
That my conscience would hurt so bad I've cried
The thought of losing you chills the light blood in my heart
Forgive me don't let our sweet love die.
Don't let our sweet love die
Let's keep on making all our plans together
To lose your love would torture me forever
Oh darling, forgive me don't let our sweet love die.
--- Instrumental ---
My mind began to wonder and the devil led me on
I should have known I couldn't live a lie
I'd give all I own if you would forgive
Oh darling, forgive me don't let our sweet love die.
Don't let our sweet love die
Let's keep on making all our plans together
To lose your love would torture me forever
Oh darling, forgive me don't let our sweet love die...
