Art Garfunkel Forgive Me song lyrics

Sitting here thinking what life's all about

i'm sitting here thinking till i'm ready to shout

i've lived a big lie, and now i'm going to die

here comes that man with his smiling face

he's taking me, taking me to that place

where life's at an end and where there's not a friend

to love

it's funny i should cry, but the tears i can't hide

i know i'm on my way to stay

and while i'm gone, i'll have pity and fear

for those like me who never will be free

of a worthless life filled with sadness and strife

the moral of my song is easy to see

don't live a life like mine, be happy and carefree

love and be loved

then life will be but a dream

oh, lord, please forgive me

forgive me

ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

(repeat and fade)
