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 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 ♪ Because love is the saddest thing When it goes away Because love is the saddest thing When it goes away
