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
Then one day
In my infinite sadness you came
And brought me love again
Now I know
That no matter whatever befalls
I'll never let you go
I will hold you close, here you'll stay
Because love is the saddest thing
When it goes away
Then one day
In my infinite sadness you came
And brought me love again
Now, now I know
That no matter whatever befalls
I'll never let you go
I will hold you close, here you'll stay
Because love is the saddest thing
When it goes away
Yes, love is the saddest thing
When it goes away
Don't go away
