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

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
