Heaven Help Me

(album: Porter Wagoner And Skeeter Davis Sing Duets - 1962)

Heaven help me for my heart has gone astray
I'm tormented by my conscience night and day
I've become a prisoner of an evil heart, a sinful love
Heaven help me for my true love I've betrayed

You promised to love to honor and obey
To cherish and love me with all of your heart
In sickness and health in poverty and wealth
Forsaking all others till death do we part

Oh, forgive me for the vows I didn't keep
I can hear them in the silence and I weep
Heaven help me make amends cleanse my heart of given sins
And have mercy on this broken heart of mine

Do you promise to love to honor and obey
I'll cherish and love you with all of my heart
In sickness and health in poverty and wealth
Forsaking all others till death do we part
Forsaking all others till death do we part
