(Loretta Lynn - Barbara Cummings)

It's midnight now and I'm still all alone

It's always late each night when you come home

I stay and take each heartache that you give cause God gave me a heart to forgive

Yes I could call these tears my closest friends

They stay with me till you come home again

You brought me every mis'ry that there is but God gave me a heart to forgive

You hurt me as much as you can

Then you tell me that you're just weak like any other man

Still you're the only reason that I live and God gave me a heart to forgive

[ steel ]

You hurt me as much as you can...
