Once I had a love, so sweet I remember She'd follow me to the ends of the earth And I'd let her And everyday was like a fairy tale Cuts me up inside to think how I failed I see now so well She gave me everything she had For the better Gave me the key to her soul And I let her Once I had a love, so sweet I remember She'd follow me to the ends of the earth And I let her And every day was like a picture book The look of love was in her eyes and how she'd looked But me, I just took, I just took A fellow traveler with nothing planned Still loving me the way I am Expecting nothing in return And through her I got to learn Too late for me to see I measured out my destiny Too late for me to know Where I lost her, I don't know Every day was like a picture book The look of love was in her eyes and how she'd looked But me, I just took, I just took Once I had a love, so sweet I remember She'd follow me to the ends of the earth And I let her Once I had a love, so sweet I remember Follow me to the ends of the earth And I let her Yes, I let her, I let her slip away (Once I had a love, so sweet) (I remember) Let her slip away (Follow me to the ends of the earth) (And I let her)
