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).
