Also recorded by: Donald Peers


I told you lies, I was unwise
You let me know, I let you go
Why not be friends, I'll make amends
If you will just forgive me

We make mistakes when we worry
All over nothing at all
We make mistakes that bring heartaches
And the teardrops fall like raindrops

We make mistakes and feel sorry
When we've made someone blue
But I made the greatest mistake of all
When I said "Goodbye" to you

Though my neglect cost your respect
Must I in vain, seek it again
We've passed the worst, were things reversed
I'd be the first to help you

We make mistakes when we worry
All over nothing at all
We make mistakes that bring heartaches
And the teardrops fall like raindrops

We make mistakes and feel sorry
When we've made someone blue
But I made the greatest mistake of all
When I said "Goodbye" to you

As recorded by Donald Peers:


(Peers)
We make mistakes when we worry
All over nothing at all
We make mistakes that bring heartaches
And the teardrops fall like raindrops
We make mistakes and feel sorry
When we've made someone blue
But I made the greatest mistake of all
When I said goodbye to you

(Backing Singers)
(We make mistakes when we worry
All over nothing at all
We make mistakes, mistakes that would make a heart ache
And the teardrops)

(Peers)
Fall like raindrops
We make mistakes and feel sorry
When we've made someone blue
But I made the greatest mistake of all
When I said goodbye to you
