I'M SORRY
(Ronnie Self - Dub Albritten)
« © '60 Songs Of Universal, BMI »
I'm sorry so sorry that I was so such a fool
I didn't know love could be so cruel oh oh oh oh yes
You tell me mistakes or a part of being young
But that don't right the wrong that's been done
I'm sorry so sorry please accept my apology
But love is blind love and I was too blind to see oh oh oh oh yes
You tell me mistakes or a part of being young
But that don't right the wrong that's been done oh oh oh oh yes
I'm sorry so sorry please accept my apology
But love is blind love and I was too blind to see (sorry)

SIDE BY SIDE
(Harry Wood)

Oh we ain't got a barrel of money maybe we're ragged and funny
But we'll travel along singing a song side by side
Well don't know what's coming tomorrow mybe it's trouble and sorrow
But we'll travel the road sharing our load side by side
Oh honey through all kinds of weather what if the sky should fall
Just as long as we're together it doesn't matter at all
When they've all had their quarrels and parted we'll be the same as we started
Just traveling along singing a song side by side
[ guitar ]
Honey through all kinds of weather...
