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
