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 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
Love is the saddest thing when it goes away
