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 away)

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?)

Oh, this your heart won't let you do
(This is what I beg of you)
Don't take your love from me

(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?)

Oh, this your heart won't let you do
This is what I beg of you
Don't take your love from me
