 Take away the breath of flowers
It would surly be a sin
Take the rain from April showers
It's a sin
 
Take away the violins, dear
From a lovely symphony
And the music deep within
Would cease to be
 
Is it a sin to love you so
To hold you close and know you are leaving
 
Though you take away my heart dear
Still the beating there within
I'll keep loving you forever
For it's no sin
 
I'll keep loving you forever
For it's no sin
I'll keep loving you forever
It's no sin
