Lyrics:

(originally by Mildred Bailey)

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
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?
Oh, this your heart won't let you do
No, this is what I beg of you
Don't take your love from me

Would you take the wings of birds
So that they can't fly?
Would you take the ocean's roar
And leave just a sigh?
This your heart won't let you do
No, this is what I beg of you
Don't take your love from me
Don't take your love from me
