Forgive Written by Will Evankovich ,  Lawrence Gowan Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw Listen on YouTube   Could you stare at the sun And say that you believe You are the only one To continue to feel the pain Or fly back in time before Before the pouring rain Did the sun ever shine so bright As you and I Oh, why did we toss the fight I'll keep saying "I forgive you" Please forgive me too till the day that it's true Ah, do ya remember the war And after the smoke had cleared Too tired from all the fear And so then the damage was done With no hope to build again No point to lose or win Well aren't we the lucky ones Still, it goes on No, we are not nearly done I'll keep saying I forgive you Please forgive me too till the day that it's true Did the sun ever shine so bright As you and I Oh, how could we toss the fight Or will I ever know why Oh, I'll keep saying I forgive you Please forgive me too Till the day that it's true Till the day that it's true
