Have Mercy Love Lyrics

Don't say goodbye-ye love
I've waited such a long lo-ong time
If you could see the evil days
I've fallen upon
Have mercy love
Don't say goodbye-ye love
I've fallen away from the sun
I'm calling and there's no one
Below or above
Don't leave me love

Have mercy love
I only ask a kindness
I've fallen into darkness
And I cannot find the sun...
Have mercy love
Remember for a moment
Remember me in roses
Remember me to God

I've lost the hea-eavens
I don't remember how or when
But I do not think to gaze again
Help me stand alo-one love
My God it's lonely here
I cannot feel, my heart is gone
I'm all alone, I touch no one
Help me love, I'm fa-ading

Have mercy love
I only ask a kindness
I've fallen into darkness
And I cannot find the sun...

This song obtained from the album insert without change.
Have mercy love
Remember for a moment
Remember me in roses
Remember me to God
Remember me to God
Remember me to God
Remember me to God

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
