It's a sin, my darling how I love you
Because I know our love can never be
It's a sin to keep this memory of you
When silence proves that you've forgotten me
The dream I built for us has tumbled
Each promise broken like my heart
It's a sin, my darling how I love you
So much in love and yet so far apart
It's a sin to hide behind this heartache
To make believe that I've found someone new
It's a sin to say that I don't miss you
When people know I'm still in love with you
I'm sure you're happy with another
Who shares the love I couldn't win
Why pretend that I can't live without you
When deep inside I know that it's a sin
This song genuinely makes me sad, I fell in love with this girl from Texas who is absolutely perfect. But because I live in another state, and because I'm too young to travel (I'm 17) I can't see her, she doesn't want to meet in person because it overwhelming to her, I understand completely but whenever I bring up the idea of meeting her in real life she always reminds me that it's never going to happen. It saddens me and it's a conflicting feeling and this song expresses everything perfectly, one day. One day I will see her and I will treat her like a princess.
Steel Guitar Eddie McMullen is the steel player on this tune. The B side is "To my Sorrow" I had the pleasure of playing with him for many years along with his wife Dorothy. She went by the stage name Sally Clark. They are also my mom and dad.
