Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know that I'm the foolish one
Now, that I see who's to blame
I'm so ashamed, I'm sorry
I'm sorry for the things I've said
Just like a child, I lost my head
I should have known from the start
Please be kind and I know you'll find
It's so easy to forgive
Darling, wait for it's not too late
Give our love a chance to live
I know the heartaches you've been through
I know for I've had heartaches too
There's nothing more I can do
But say to you I'm sorry
Please be kind and I know you'll find
It's so easy to forgive
Darling, wait for it's not too late
Give our love a chance to live, oh, live
I know the heartaches you've been through
I know for I've had heartaches too
There's nothing more I can do
But say to you I'm sorry
(Darling, I'm truly sorry)

I was very young hearing all their songs. In fact my family had all their long playing records and album
I grew up listening to all their songs and up to the present I still do listen to them. You can only feel the lyrics that touches the heart.
