Act Of Forgiveness Lyrics - Let's Stay Here - Oleta Adams

Huh 

The battle is over 

the anger has ceased, 

a new life's beginning 

and my heart is at peace. 

We're goin' round in circles 

we've both had our say; 

And tried to be convincing, 

to have things our way. 

Well now, my heart is open 

and I'm ready to receive 

I'm knowin' that it's risky baby 

Somethin' that wants to believe.

In the act of forgiveness 

forgetting our past; 

We need a love that's 

deservin' to last. 

the act of forgiveness 

beginning today; 

Gonna learn to love you 

in a brand new way. 

Well it felt like punches 

aimed straight from the heart, 

they were meant to be cripplin' baby, 

Meant to keep us apart. 

But somewhere now Momma 

overheard a hammer pain 

all hell to surrender, 

all the guilt and the blame. 

Photos 

And it heals all of our sorrow 

and it dried all of our tears; 

And I remember the potion baby 

That made it all disappear. 

I believe in 

The act of forgiveness 

forgetting our past 

(we've gotta forget the past) 

We need a love that's 

deservin' to last. 

the act of forgiveness 

beginning today; 

Gonna learn to love you 

in a brand new way. 

(won't you help me sing this song, y'all) 

I don't wanna fight with you, 

I only wanna be with you. 

Even though you broke my heart 

We can make a brand new start 

together baby, for the rest of our lives. 

Here's a word to hold on to, 

treat each other like lovers do, 

See if I don't love you more, 

better than the day before 

just you and me baby for the rest of our lives. 

The act of forgiveness 

forgetting our past 

(we've gotta forget the past) 

We need a love that's 

deservin' to last. 

the act of forgiveness 

beginning today; (right now, here today) 

Gonna learn to love you 

in a brand new way. 

(come on sing it one more time, y'all) 

I don't wanna fight with you, 

I only wanna be with you. 

Even though you broke my heart 

We can make a brand new start 

together baby, for the rest of our lives. 

Here's a word to hold on to, 

treat each other like lovers do, 

See if I don't love you more, 

better than the day before 

just you and me baby for the rest of our lives. 

I don't wanna fight with you, 

I only wanna be with you. 

Even though you broke my heart 

We can make a brand new start 

together baby, for the rest of our lives. 

Here's a word to hold on to, 

treat each other like lovers do, 

See if I don't love you more, 

better than the day before 

just you and me baby for the rest of our lives. 

The act of forgiveness 

forgetting our past 

(we've gotta forget the past) 

We need a love that's 

deservin' to last. 

the act of forgiveness 

beginning today; (right now, here today)
