Lyrics
Blessing
They told me I?d learn in time
To be with someone new
And how one day I would find
Another to love as I loved you
How I loved you
Never thought it could be true, no no
So the instant my eyes met hers
I tried to look away
A practice I?d come to learn
In the years spent since you went away
Since you left me
But I could not turn away, no no
And I ask of you?
Give me your blessing
Tell me it?s o.k.
I?ve got to know to start a new life
Give me your blessing
I need to hear it
Cause although you?re gone in my home
In my heart you?re still my wife
Should I beg your forgiveness
Should I feel ashamed
For losing my emptiness
And feeling I?ve fallen in love again
I?m in love again
Please tell me I?m not to blame, no no
And I beg of you?
Give me your blessing
Tell me it?s o.k.
I?ve got to know to start a new life
Give me your blessing
I need to hear it, I need to feel it, I?ve got to know it
Give me your blessing
Tell me it?s o.k.
I?ve got to know to start a new life
Give me your blessing
I need to hear it
Cause although you?re gone in my home
In my heart you?re still my wife
