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
In 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

Then one day
In my infinite sadness you came
And brought me love again

Now, now I know
That no matter whatever befalls
I'll never let you go
