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 . .
Instrumental break
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 . .
