MY GREATEST SIN
(Norro Wilson / Mack David)


Margo Smith - 1978



        

My greatest sin was that I fell in love with you
Though I knew that you belonged to someone else
My greatest sin was that I gave myself to you
Though I knew it was wrong, there was nothin' I could do

A girl I called my friend, the dearest friend I'd known
She said while I'm away, take care till I get home
And I betrayed my friend and now I must atone
I fell in love with you and that’s my greatest sin

You just can't tell your heart don't fall in love, they say
That's true, but just the same I should have walked away
And now I've lost you both and that's the price I'll pay
If love can be a sin, then that's my greatest sin

(Instrumental Break)

You just can't tell your heart don't fall in love, they say
That's true, but just the same I should have walked away
And now I've lost you both and that's the price I'll pay
If love can be a sin, then that's my greatest sin
