Lyrics:

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 ...
