Once I loved
And I gave so much love
to this love that was 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 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
