Once I loved, and I gave so much love
To this love 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 whatever befalls
I'll never let you go
I will hold you close, here you'll stay

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