1. Take away the breath of flowers,          it would surely be a sin,

                                            Am       - D7           G     - Em

3. Is it a sin to love you so,

                         A      - A7            D                 D7

    to hold you close,         and know you are leaving ?

    Though you take away my heart, dear,

                                            G    - Em

    still the beating there within,

                                     Am          D7       G

    I'll keep loving you forever, for it's no sin.
