Once I Loved Lyrics

Astrud Gilberto Once I Loved

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 saddness 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.

Because love,
is the saddest thing,
when it goes away.
