Once I loved
And I gave so much love to this love
It was the world to me!

Once I cried
At the thought I was foolish an? 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 make you stay
Because love is the saddest thing
When it goes away

love is the saddest thing
When it goes away

< instrumental break >

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
