Once, I loved And I gave so much love to this love It was the world to me Once, I cried At the thought that was foolish and 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 Night and day Because 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 Because love is the saddest thing When it goes away Goes away
