Lyrics

Few events could ever be so certain
This drawn breath may be the very last
The play must end
the drawing of the curtain
As a thief the time arrives too fast

Hold them close
Forgive them their heart ache
Try to laugh
For the beauty of it all
Forgive their faults
Just do it for love?s sake
Sympathy listens
To sweet mercies? call
When sweet mercies? call

Live this day make it your final glory
Say those words So you will not regret
Put aside the hurt , the old sob story
Let them know so they will not forget

Hold them close
Forgive them their heart ache
Try to laugh
For the beauty of it all
Forgive their faults
Just do it for love?s sake
Sympathy listens
To sweet mercies? call
When sweet mercies? call



What you leave is what you?ve given
So what you wanna leave behind
Freely forgive The clock is ticking
Hurry now this is the time

No man sees His time the final hour
It?s kept well hid to keep us on our toes
Try to sweeten up what has gone sour
Say the words be sure to hold them close

Hold them close
Forgive them their heart ache
Try to laugh
For the beauty of it all
Forgive their faults
Just do it for love?s sake
Sympathy listens
To sweet mercies? call
When sweet mercies? call
