“That’s a mighty big word for such a small man”….one of the greatest lines in Country Music

She wrote this song for Faith Hill but liked it so much, kept it for her own, so glad she did........

Faith would have ruined it like she does everything she sings.

[@monicamontezstine5877]

Forgive. That's a mighty big word for such a small man. Powerful!

[@wstavis3135]

It's not "powerful". It is evocative, a great insult, or a perfect description. "Powerful" would be "You know what they say, forgive and forget, relive and regret". The first does nothing to help you, her or anyone live their lives. It is a great dig at a person who's hurt you. The second is a map to move on.

[@Brucasfanatic]

i remember the day my girlfriend told me she cheated with her EX i lived in another state and i was preparing for a test i was in community college at the time i just stared at the screen for 20 minutes we made up and i married her but i still think about that day and I still feel it seven years later. " not all wounds heal sometime you cant see the pain someone feels"

[@sistersmileyvibes5551]

Been singing this song since 2002, I'm 30 now.... So much time has passed, and Rebecca, your voice is still ageless....WOW. thank you!

[@Pushnotificationsalwaysoffbye]

I'm 30 now and I started to get into country big because of my Grandpa.. I remember listening to this and being so into this music when I was 12-18 or so. I still love the classics back to George Strait and I remember identifying so much with this song when my first love broke my heart. There really is nothing like country music. A good country song is timeless.

[@conniegaither7466]

Rebecca Lynn, you should have gone to the top of the charts when this song was released. It touches so many people that have lived the lyrics in this song.

Rebecca is a greatly underrated singer.

It's a shame radio didn't stick with this woman longer. This kind of searing emotional intensity - not to mention stingingly honest song material - can make country radio a heck of a lot more interesting.

This woman has pure voice talent.Why the hell she's not more mainstream is a mystery!

[@kyleehoward5775]

She is my cousin, she quit because she got so much money from her first album, she quit making the music. She is from kentucky, where most of my family comes from. She is beyond beautiful and talented. Hopefully one day she'll begin making music again.

[@5150puddin]

Wow thanks Kylee!

[@LynnMarketingconcept]

Kylee Howard Wow Kylee, you should encourage her to go back to her music for her fans....I love this song....it speaks to me as I am sure that it does a lot of people.....take care Julie

[@bamabrandon21]

Kylee Howard Wrong Wrong Wrong. She did not quit because she made lots of money. Far from it actually. She quit because the record label she was with went under. Same with the next two labels she used. She writes music for several artists these days, and sing at the Grand Ole Opry. She came out with a new album a year or two ago and sales weren't good. Yes she's from Kentucky, Salyersville ky to be exact. To be related to her I've never seen you at our family reunions. I however am related to her. I know her mother and father well. My mother went to school with hers. They grew up together. If you're going to spew crap at least make it halfway true damn.

[@justjulie7866]

When this song came out, my kids were babies. I have loved the song ever since. My baby boy would sing this at the top of his little lungs at 4 years old. Never, did I ever for one moment, think that I would live this song. 20 years later, and now, I just can’t forgive and it’s been 4 years ago. It’s like a nightmare I can’t wake up from. I thought I could forgive and I took him back. I made a mistake. I don’t know who I am anymore. Probably too much info, but I needed to spill my guts to someone.

[@jamsey3298]

Love this song ❤ always have. I spent 12 years with someone that wanted constant forgiveness instead of I won't do it again.The best thing I ever did was be tough enough to leave with 3 kids with barely anything. I'm making it just fine and I won't forgive anymore!

[@rhondapearson111]

Glad you left and are making it. Better to making it in your own with 3 kids then to stay. I stayed 11 years. Thankfully we had no kids. I was 17 when we got together and 28 when I left. Wasted years of my youth. Glad to say I am 50 with with a fun loving husband who has never once did me wrong and we have two beautiful girls.

It takes a lot to ask someone to forgive them. Pride usually causes us to blame rather than take responsibility.

He is asking her to forgive him right away. From my experience, the forgiveness given at this moment of hurt isn't genuine. She needs some time to process what happened. And then forgive and move on. Yes, forgiveness is for both parties, but it doesn't have to happen immediately.
