Lyrics
  • Let’s Forgive, Let Us Love, and Forget Verse: Two lovers had parted, they’re both broken hearted, And they meet after many long years
  • They both have repented, they both have regretted, And he says as her eyes fill with tears. Refrain: For you, I always lived dear, of you, I always dreamed, Of you, I always thought dear, that you were all you seemed
  • You, I always loved dear since the say that we first met
  • So won’t you come back to me love, let’s forgive, let us love and forget. Verse: Just after the showers, there come sunny hours, So his love comes back for her once more, The birds sweetly singing, the June bells are ringing, And they love just like they did of yore. Refrain
