Bill Anderson - Apologize lyrics

In the fury of the moment

When the words of rath rang out

When my mind was filled with questions

And my head was filled with doubt/

I can still see all the sadness

And the sorrow in your eyes

How can flowers live in darkness

How can I apologize?

For the blackness I've created

In the world that used to shine

I've wilted all the roses

And I've spoiled all the wine.

Get out your magic pencil

And erase the cloudy skies

Draw a picture of me

Saying I apologize.

Give me back the words

I spoke in haste

Give 'em back or love will go to waste

Give 'em back.

See the sunlight reappearing

Through the shrouds of darkened gloom

As I hear your words forgiving me

And watch the flowers bloom.

Have your arms refused to open

Have you served all your ties

I'd still be on my knees

Saying I apologize.

Give me back the words

I spoke in haste

Give 'em back or love will go to waste

Give 'em back...
