Can't Take Away These Years

[verse] You stepped out With another man Now he’s gone away And here you stand So full of regrets And you look at me What’s going to happen To our family I can feel your pain And it’s breaking my heart How can you believe That we’d be apart [chorus] When you went away You know it hurt so bad But it hurts me more To see you feeling sad Let me hold you in my arms And wipe away your tears Just making one mistake Can’t take away these years [verse] I thought we were secure When we built this home I must of missed the signs Did you feel alone I know that I have never Taken you for granted But lately I know I haven’t been romantic In this situation You probably have some fears But I can’t be mad at you I’m so glad you’re here [chorus] When you went away You know it hurt so bad But it hurts me more To see you feeling sad Let me hold you in my arms And wipe away your tears Just one mistake Can’t take away these years [bridge] (I’d rather be forgiving you than leaving you) (I’d rather be true to you than losing you) You look at me and You ask how are we gonna live I know it’s hard but I can’t Live with the alternative This has really given us A wake up call But I always said I would pick you up If you’d fall [outro] When you went away You know it hurt so bad But it hurts me more To see you feeling sad Let me hold you in my arms And wipe away your tears Just one mistake Can’t take away these years When you went away You know it hurt so bad But it hurts me more To see you feeling sad Let me hold you in my arms And wipe away your tears Just one mistake Can’t take away these years Just one mistake Can’t take away these years
