If It's Wrong to Love You
Hank Snow · The Singing Ranger, Vol. 3 [Bear Family (Germany)] [1994]
If it's wrong to love you wrong I'll alway be
Though the world may scorn me darling can't you see
If it's wrong to want you when my day is through
Gladly I will pay for all my dreams of you.
Though we met too late dear and you'll never know
That without a right to I have loved you so
I can't change my heart dear you're a part of me
If it's wrong to love you wrong I'll always be.
--- Instrumental ---
Though we met too late dear and you'll never know
That without a right to I have loved you so
I can't change my heart dear you're a part of me
If it's wrong to love you wrong I'll always be...
