We have a love that is tarnished I know that you have cheated, It's true that you have lied You've answered calls from strangers, And pushed our love aside But I'll ignore what I don't see, Sometimes it's best that way Ignorance gives tarnished love, another chance to play We have a love that is tarnished, it doesn't shine like it shone when it was new I know that vows can be broken, I'm sure of this 'cause I've made mistakes too Love is seldom perfect, it often fades away, But, darlin', our tarnished love Grows stronger every day But, darlin', our tarnished love grows stronger every day We have a love that is tarnished
