Once I Loved
Wanda De Sah Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 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
Make you stay
Because love is the saddest thing
When it goes away




Love is the saddest thing
When it goes away
