_____
I don't ask that every day be sunny
_____
I don't ask that every Friday
_____
Nor do I ask you that you come back begging forgiveness
_____
If you cry with dry eyes
Oh, babe, it hurts me so much
_____
That you left without saying where
_____
I know that I haven't been a saint
_____
Not only by bread does man live
And I don't live on excuses
Only from mistakes do you learn
_____
And today I know that my heart is yours
You'd better keep all that to yourself
_____
Try that bone on another dog and we say goodbye
_____
I can't ask winter to forgive a rosebush
_____
I can't ask elms to give pears
_____
I can't ask the eternal from a mere mortal
_____
Or go throwing thousands of pearls to the pigs
_____
Oh, babe, it hurts me so much
_____
That you no longer believe in my promises
_____
I know that I haven't been a saint
_____
But I can fix it, babe
_____
Not only by bread does man live
_____
And I don't live on excuses
Only from mistakes do you learn
_____
And today I know that my heart is yours
_____
You'd better keep all that to yourself
_____
Try that bone on another dog and we say goodbye
_____
I'm just a repentant man
_____
I know that I haven't been a saint
_____
And it's that I'm not made of cardboard
_____
Not only by bread does man live
And I don't live on excuses
_____
Only from mistakes do you learn
_____
And today I know that my heart is yours
_____
Oh, everything I've done for you
_____
It was torture to lose you
_____
And it hurts me so much that it's like this
Keep crying for forgiveness
