Don't Take Your Love From Me
Jack Pleis and His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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?
All this, your heart won't let you do
This is what I beg of you
Don't take your love from me
Don't take your love from me
The lyrics of "Don't Take Your Love From Me" by Jack Pleis and His Orchestra convey a heartfelt plea from the singer to their lover, urging them not to leave or withdraw their love. The opening lines use vivid imagery to express the intensity of the emotions involved. The suggestion of tearing a star from the sky and causing the sky to turn blue symbolizes the sadness and emptiness that would result from the departure of their love. Similarly, the idea of plucking a petal from a rose and making it weep emphasizes the pain and sorrow that would be felt if their love is taken away.
The singer continues to make comparisons to nature to further emphasize the depth of their plea. They ask if their beloved would take the wings from birds, preventing them from flying freely, or take the power and intensity from the ocean and reduce it to a mere sigh. These comparisons highlight the importance and value of their love, as it is seen as an essential and life-giving force. The singer believes that taking away their love would have a profound impact on their own well-being, as their heart would inevitably break.
The overall message of the song is a desperate plea for their lover to understand the significance and power of their love and to choose not to abandon or withdraw it. The singer acknowledges that their life is in the hands of their beloved and implores them to keep the flame of their love alive, as it holds the key to their happiness and emotional well-being.
