Once, once i loved
And i gave so much love to this world 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 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
