I just recieved the letter that you wrote in deep despair
You say your heart to me is closed and you no longer care
What can I say or do to make you change your mind again
Oh won't you open up your heart and let forgiveness in
I may pretend I never cry to tell the truth I do
For sadness came with your goodbye and you're unhappy too
For if it's true you care for me to hide it is a sin
Oh won't you open up your heart and let forgiveness in
[ fiddle - steel ]
I'd give the world to hear you say you love me as before
And that the happy yesterday is ours to live once more
Let's live again the used to be rewards so happy then
Oh won't you open up your heart and let forgiveness in
