Give Me Your Love
Nat King Cole Nelson Riddle 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 "Give Me Your Love" by Nat King Cole Nelson Riddle And His Orchestra speak to the deep emotional connection between two people in love. The song uses vivid imagery to convey the profound impact that love has on one's life.
In the first stanza, the singer describes how taking something away from its natural state has a direct effect on its essence. Just as tearing a star from the sky leaves it in a somber state, and plucking a petal from a rose makes it weep, taking one's heart away would cause it to break. The singer acknowledges that their life is intertwined with their lover's, and they implore them to maintain the spark of their love.
The second stanza poses hypothetical questions to underscore the importance of love. Would you take away the wings from birds, rendering them unable to fly? Would you reduce the mighty roar of the ocean to a mere sigh? The answer to all these questions is clear: your heart won't let you do it. The singer pleads with their loved one to understand the significance of their love and not to take it away.
In the end, the repeated plea of "Don't take your love from me" encapsulates the urgency and desperation of the singer's plea. They are deeply aware of the impact that losing their love would have on their life and implore their partner not to let it happen.

Tear a star from out the sky
If you were to remove a star from the sky
And the sky feels blue
The sky would turn melancholic and sad
Tear a petal from a rose
If you were to pluck a petal from a rose
And the rose weeps, too
The rose would also shed tears of sorrow
Take your heart away from mine
If you were to remove your heart from mine
And mine will surely break
My heart would undoubtedly shatter
My life is yours to make
You have the power to shape my life
So please keep the spark awake
Therefore, please keep our love alive and burning
Would you take the wings from birds
Would you deprive birds of their ability to fly
So that they can't fly?
Thus rendering them incapable of soaring through the skies?
Would you take the ocean's roar
Would you steal the mighty roar of the ocean
And leave just a sigh?
And reduce it to a mere sigh?
All this, your heart won't let you do
Your compassionate heart would never allow such actions
This is what I beg of you
That is why I earnestly implore you
Don't take your love from me
Please do not withdraw your love and affection from me
Don't take your love from me
I desperately plead with you not to abandon our love

Certain groups should be terribly ashamed at how far they've pushed the degradation of the music industries.
It can be heard loudly listening to this performance.
Many of them were playing clown dress up in NYC recently.
