1940
TEAR A STAR FROM OUT THE SKY
AND THE SKY FEELS BLUE.
TEAR A PETAL FROM A ROSE
AND THE ROSE WEEPS TOO.
TAKE YOUR HEART AWAY FROM MINE
AND MINE WILL SURELY BREAK.
MY LIFE IS YOURS TO MAKE.
SO PLEASE KEEP THE SPARK AWAKE.
WOULD YOU TAKE THE WINGS FROM BIRDS
SO THAT THEY CAN’T FLY?
WOULD YOU TAKE THE OCEAN’S ROAR
AND LEAVE JUST A SIGH?
THESE THINGS YOUR HEART WON’T
LET YOU DO;
THIS IS WHAT I BEG OF YOU
DON’T TAKE YOUR LOVE FROM ME.
