Intro

Verse 1

You gave me sweet things and flowers,

You gave me a sky so blue.

You gave me a rock to lean on,

And I gave myself to you.

Verse 2

We wandered through each other's secrets,

We tra...ded, an honoured word.

We sha...red a solemn promise,

But like the raven's cry; it must be heard.

Chorus 1

Please don't take away your love dear;

One mistake is not a crime.

Let's start again; my love is yours dear;

Your love is mine, one more time, (one more time).

Verse 3

You tell me a cold wind's a-comin';

A chill that turns a heart to stone.

And your eyes say it's time to move on,

Down a road you'd rather walk a-lone.

Verse 4

Now pride is a raging river,

You could fe...ll the tallest tree.

But a song 'neath the wings of for-give-ness,

Can tame the stormy sea.

Chorus 2

Please don't take away your love dear;

One mistake is not a crime.

Let's start again; my love is yours dear;

Your love is mine, one more time, (one more time).

Verse 5

They say that nothing lasts for-ever,

Like the tide that comes in but doesn't stay.

But our journey has taken up our lifetime,

And what you give; you just can't take a-way.

Chorus 3

Please don't take away your love dear;

One mistake is not a crime.

Let's start again; my love is yours dear;

Your love is mine, one more time, (one more time).
