Once I Love - Jacintha - Lyrics

Once I loved
And I gave so much love to that love
It was a world to me

Once I cried
At the thought I was foolish and proud
And let him 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

Musical Interlude

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
