Madeleine Peyroux - I Threw It All Away lyrics

I once held him in my arms And he said he'd always stay But I was cruel, I treated him like a fool And I threw it all away I once had mountains in the palm of my hand Rivers that ran through every day But I must have been mad, never knew what I had 'Til I threw it all away Love is all it is, it makes the world go round Love and only love, it can't be denied No matter what you think about it You won't be able to do without it Take a tip from one who's tried So if you find someone who gives you all his love Take it to your heart, don't let it stray One thing is certain, you'll surely be hurting If you throw it all away If you throw it all away Love is all it is, it makes the world go round Love and only love can't be denied And no matter what you think about it You won't be able to do without it Take a tip from one who's tried So if you find someone to give you all of his love Take it to your heart, don't let it stray One thing is certain, you'll surely be hurting If you throw it all away If you throw it all away, yeah
