As recorded by ANNETTE HANSHAW:

Maybe it's best that we're through
What was it leading us to
You were pretending, this is just ending
Dreams that could never come true 
You go your way in content
I'm trying hard to repent

My sin was loving you
Not wisely, but too well
Your sin was letting me
And getting me in your spell

Our sin was following
A love that could not be
Now my sin is wanting you
Though you've forgotten me

(Orchestral Break)

My sin was loving you
And yielding to your charms
Your sin was holding me
And folding me in your arms

Your sin is over now, I guess
You've found your happiness
And your love is over, too
But my sin is just the same
I'm still in love with you

That's all!
