Susan Tedeschi - Sweet Forgiveness Lyrics






Sweet forgiveness, that's what you give to me
When you hold me close, and you say: "That's all over."
You won't go looking back, you don't hold the cards too stacked
Darlin', you mean what you say

Sweet forgiveness, you help me see
I'm not near as bad, as I sometimes appear to be
When you hold me close, and you say: "That's all over,
and I still love you."

There's no way that I could make up,
For those angry words I said
Sometimes it gets to hurting,
And the pain goes to my head

Sweet forgiveness, dear God above
I say we all deserve, a taste of that kind of love
Someone who'll hold on to our hand,
And whisper: "I understand, and I still love you."

    SO much better than Tedeschi Trucks Band. TTB just has too many members and too much going on, and loses the feeling of the songs.

  30. M.... M....

    Susan... Love this song.. Love the way you sing it! Your Crystal voice just blessed me beyond words. Your singing is my cup of tea, yessss!

  31. L.... G....

    I do agree...I don't think Doyle's guitar tone really fit this live performance. Though interesting. I wish he would've used the more mellow clean tone that he used on the studio version. I'm all for doing things differently live, but his tone this particular time didn't really fit. Too fuzzy and twangy for this number, IMO.

    L.... G....

    Thinking the same thing- way too overdriven. A nice semi hollow or strat tone would have been great

  32. L.... G....

    I love the bass line of the session bassist Paul Bryan on the studio version. Of course Doyle Bramhall shines as always.

  33. T.... ....

    Cut away on guitar is left handed,headstock is upside down and he does string righty and does string bends down instead of up.

  34. T.... ....

    To err is human to forgive is divine,this song captures that feeling of forgiveness! You won't go looking back, don't hold the cards to stack,you mean what you say. Oh what complete and utter forgiving,such great repentance by the offender and sweet forgiveness by the offended! Such would be great among human kind!

  35. s.... ....

    Sad songs really are the best songs.

  36. u.... ....

    doyle on guitar, nice

  37. V.... R....

    Susan Tedeschi you make me feel better, every time I listend you...I love you indeed!!!!

  38. J.... A....

    bonie raite on vocal steriods, shes awesome

  39. f.... ....

    A voice between Janis Joplan and Bonnie Raite. Just so soulful. Thank you

  40. J.... M....

    Great track! What a singer! Check out Doyle Bramhall II on the other guitar, playing left-handed on a right-handed guitar; not restrung for left-hand, but with the bass strings down low and the trebles up top.

  41. t.... l....

    i am SO glad i found you ^_^

  42. p.... ....

    Saw her once in a small bar in Texas. Knew she was special.

  43. T.... H....

    @scouse2606 That's Doyle Bramhall II - I think he's from Texas. He does an incredible version of Outside Woman Blues on the 2004 Crossroads DVD. Great voice, great guitar chops too.

  53. H.... C....

    Hi Susan. I work with a guy (Bass Guitar) from a band named Sopwith Camel and they are trying to get back together again. He used to open here in the Bay Area for Big Brother and the gal you sound like. I only know him because we both work in the Bay Area and I walk out with him most nights as he talks about trying to get his band together. They are together and he practices many nights. We work on avionics from airplanes. Life changes. Hope to see you in Ft. Collins Take care.
