Once I Loved lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
Night and day
Because love is the saddest thing
When it goes away

[Verse 2]
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
