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
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
