Once, once I loved And I gave so much love to this love you were the world to me Once I cried At the thought I was foolish and proud and let you say goodbye And then one day From my infinite sadness you came and brought me love again Now I know That no matter what ever befalls I'll never let you go I will hold you close, make you stay Because love is the saddest thing when it goes away Love is the saddest thing when it goes away
