I've got the letter darling read it o'er and o'er again
You say that you are really sorry now
After all this time I suffered you asked me to come back
Marriage vows that were forgotten you are just recalling now.

Marriage vows forgotten is a debt you'll have to pay
For I realized I can never want you now
I've thought at first I couldn't live without you being around
But you're the one I'm not to blame for broken marriage vow.

— Instrumental —

I've forgiven you my darling praise that God would do the same
Was before him that we made our every vow
I must say I'll always love you you're my choice of all the rest
And I'm glad the vows you've broken you at last remembered now.

Marriage vows forgotten is a debt you'll have to pay
For I realized I can never want you now
I've thought at first I couldn't live without you being around
But you're the one I'm not to blame for broken marriage vow…
