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 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 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 When it goes away
