Though you've decided that our love is wrong
And think that we should part
It seems as though I have loved you so long
You'll always be in my heart.
Is it a sin? Is it a crime?
Loving you dear like I do
If it's a crime then I'm guilty
Guilty of loving you
Maybe I'm wrong dreaming of you
Dreaming the lonely night through
If it's a crime then I'm guilty
Guilty of dreaming of you
What can I do? What can I say
After I've taken the blame?
You say you're through, you'll go your way
But I'll always feel just the same
Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong
Loving you dear like I do
If it's a crime, then I'm guilty
Guilty of loving you
