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 from 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 Make you stay Because love is the saddest thing when it goes away I will hold you close Make you stay Because love is the saddest thing when it goes away Because love is the saddest thing when it goes away
