Don't Take Your Love from Me
Les Brown & His Orchestra Lyrics

Tear a star from out the sky
Remove something extraordinary and beautiful from its place

And the sky feels blue
And the world loses its wonder and becomes dull

Tear a petal from a rose
Detach a delicate part from a symbol of love

And the rose weeps, too
And love itself becomes sorrowful and mourns the loss

Take your heart away from mine
Remove your love and affection from my life

And mine will surely break
And my entire being will shatter into pieces

My life is yours to make
I have entrusted my existence and happiness to you

So please keep the spark awake
So please ensure that the flame of our love continues to burn brightly

Would you take the wings from birds
Would you strip away the ability of creatures to soar and explore

So that they can't fly?
So that their freedom and joy are taken away

Would you take the ocean's roar
Would you silence the mighty voice of the sea

And leave just a sigh?
And reduce it to a mere expression of sadness

All this, your heart won't let you do
Your compassionate nature refuses to allow such actions

This is what I beg of you
This is my heartfelt plea towards you

Don't take your love from me
Please do not remove your love and affection from my life

Don't take your love from me
Please do not strip away the greatest source of happiness in my existence
