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

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
