The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- I told you lies, I was unwise
You let me know, I let you go
Why not be friends? I’ll make amends
If you will just forgive me
Chorus
We make mistakes when we worry
All over nothing at all
We make mistakes that bring heartaches
And the teardrops fall like raindrops
We make mistakes and feel sorry
When we’ve made someone blue
But I made the greatest mistake of all
When I said “Goodbye” to you
- Tho’ my neglect cost your respect
Must I in vain seek it again?
We’ve passed the worst, were things reversed
I’d be the first to help you
