Within my heart
I know I will never start
To smile again
Until I smile at you

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
