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, 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.
