TO MAKE A MISTAKE IS HUMAN
(Ervin M. Drake, Jimmy Shirl) 

Ella Fitzgerald (1948)


To make a mistake is human
To forgive the one you love is divine
Can't you find it in your heart to still forgive me?
Can't you see how much I've paid for just that one mistake I made
For each little tear you're crying
There have been a thousand tear drops of mine
To make a mistake is only human
But to forgive the one you love is divine
