Though you've decided that our love is wrong And think that we should part It seems as though I have loved you so long You'll always be in my heart Is it a sin Is it a crime Loving you dear like I do If it's a crime then I'm guilty Guilty of loving you Maybe I'm wrong dreaming of you Dreaming the lonely night through If it's a crime then I'm guilty Guilty of dreaming of you What can I do What can I say After I've taken the blame? You say we're through You'll go your way But I'll always feel just the same Maybe I'm right Maybe I'm wrong Loving you dear like I do If it's a crime then I'm guilty Guilty of loving you
